Americans are Furious After Kellyanne Suggests Joe Biden Is Picking A Woman VP So He Can Sleep With Her
During a Wednesday appearance on Fox News, Kellyanne Conway used a rather terrible comparison when discussing former Vice President Joe Biden’s promise to make a woman his running mate as he attempts to unseat Donald Trump in November.
“You’ve seen the long shortlist of Joe Biden’s VP choices. They all happen to be female. He sounds like, you know, a co-ed at the end of a frat party: ‘I need a woman!’” she said.
Comparing Biden’s quest to name the first female vice president to a college student’s “need” for “a woman” is a major stretch, but it’s not unprecedented for the Trump camp. Trump’s oldest son Don Jr. recently took heat for suggesting Biden preys on children.
During Conway’s successful stint as Trump’s campaign manager in the fall of 2016, Trump explained his infamous “Access Hollywood” hot-mic statements about grabbing women by their genitalia as “locker room talk.” Locker room frequenter LeBron James responded at the time that there’s not talk like that in the locker rooms he’s been in, but no notable frat boys have spoken out in regards to Conway’s Wednesday remarks, as of this writing.
Biden, now the presumptive Democratic nominee, vowed during a March debate that he would select a woman to be his running mate if he secured the party’s nomination.

In addition, he also promised to put the first African American woman on the Supreme Court if he were to become president. Biden said, “I’m committed that if I am elected president and have an opportunity to appoint someone to the courts, I will appoint the first black woman to the court. It’s required that they have representation now; it’s long overdue. Secondly, if I am elected president, my cabinet — my administration — will look like the country and I commit that I will, in fact, appoint — pick — a woman to be vice president.”

People on Twitter were disgusted by the remark:
You know what’s saddest about Kellyanne- she’s a woman, who, despite her reputation for being a gaslighting, liar who has hitched her wagon to someone like trump, she could have, maybe, used her, “accomplishments”, as a platform for building women up, not tearing them down. Sad.

Can't wait for karma to come calling for @KellyannePolls. It will be glorious to witness.

Her boss doesn’t say he needs a woman at the end of a frat party, he sexually assaults one.

Oh phucking wow. This is a very slippery slope, my dear. 1) Assumes the women are not capable and qualified on their own, which is not correct, and 2) attributes womanizing qualities to a man who works with and gives opportunity to qualified women. I can't believe she said this.

Now that the OG blonde lying liar, has a discount doppelgänger in Kayleigh McNinny, she’s finally free to let her malevolent flag fly for all the world to see.
What this woman does, aside from lie, distort, gaslight, and corrupt the truth, escapes me.
She’s an offense to women.— Jo (@JoJoFromJerz) May 20, 2020
Girl you work for a man who openly encourages his aides to commit adultery (looking at you Hope Hicks) not to mention having 20+ credible allegations of rape or sexual abuse lodged against him.
Stop embarrassing yourself

I guess the idea of a qualified female VP candidate terrifies them. I can't stand women like Kellyanne who have internalized misogyny to such a degree that they support men like Trump.

@KellyannePolls This is a most despicable statement, and the fact that it comes from a woman makes it even more so. When Trump is voted out of office because Americans are desperate for decency, you will have your day of reckoning.
