Bernie Sanders’ Wife: Madeleine Albright’s Comments Were ‘Unfortunate and Disturbing’
Dr. Jane Sanders weighed in on controversial comments made by former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and feminist activist Gloria Steinem over the weekend that appeared to chastise young women for voting for her husband Bernie Sanders over Hillary Clinton.
On Saturday, Madeleine Albright reminded women voters that “there’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help each other,” a saying she has repeated often over the last four decades. But the comments were widely interpreted on social media as scolding young women who support Bernie Sanders instead of Hillary Clinton. In a HuffPost Live segment Wednesday, Dr. Sanders said she thought Albright’s comments were “unfortunate and disturbing.”
“I think that women today are a little bit more intelligent to not say, ‘Okay all I care about is gender,'” she said. “By that case, if Bernie won the Democratic nomination and Carly Fiorina won the Republican nomination, we should be supporting Carly Fiorina. We’re looking for the right candidate.”
Gloria Steinem also found herself in hot water last weekend after she told HBO’s Bill Maher that younger women were only supporting Bernie Sanders because “the boys are with Bernie.” Steinem, 81, has since apologized for those statements, which caused widespread offense among younger women. Dr. Sanders said the comment was a mistake, but acknowledged Steinem’s apology.

I think that Dr. Sanders chose the correct words.
