Elizabeth Warren: ‘Asking If Trump Is Sexist Is Like Asking If He Has Bad Hair’

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) just shut down Donald Trump again, as she offered some good advice to female candidates who are accused of playing the gender card.

Warren called the Republican presidential candidate out this week for being obviously sexist, after Trump accused Democratic hopeful Hillary Clinton of “playing the gender card.” He also claimed that the former Secretary of State wouldn’t have as much support if she were a man. Clinton didn’t blink at the comment and has even raised money for her campaign off it.

Warren told The Boston Globe this week that asking if Trump was sexist was like “asking if he has bad hair.”

“He wears the sexism out front for everyone to see,” she added.

Warren said that women running for office who are accused of playing the gender card could fight back easily without being accused of playing it.

You can't attack the guy on policy because he has none. But attack him on his appearance, and he becomes a raging orange stubby-fingered golem of racism.
