Conservatives: Young women are "too dumb" to vote

[Triana]

Conservative media personalities have discouraged young women from voting as the midterm elections near, claiming that they are "too dumb to vote."

Fox's Kimberly Guilfoyle: Young Women Shouldn't Exercise Civic Duties Because "They Don't Get It." During the October 21 edition of Fox News' The Five, the co-hosts discussed the impact of women voters in the upcoming midterm elections. After co-host Greg Gutfeld suggested that young women lack the wisdom to vote as conservatives, Kimberly Guilfoyle suggested that they should be excused from jury duty, because they lack life experience and just "don't get it." Instead, she said, they should "go back on Tinder or Match.com." [Fox News, The Five, 10/21/14]

Fox's Tucker Carlson: "Do You Want Your Government Run By People Whose Favorite Show Is Say Yes [To The Dress]?" During the October 2 edition of Fox News' Outnumbered, network host Tucker Carlson criticized a Republican campaign to encourage young women to vote Republican by asking whether or not the young women targeted by the ad should vote at all:

CARLSON: I don't think as a general matter you should be encouraging people who don't know anything about what they're voting for to vote. That's what the Democrats do, giving Newports to the homeless to get them to the polls. That's literally true. Republicans shouldn't follow suit on that. You shouldn't pander to people. Tell us what the candidates are for, what they're against. Attack the other guy, that's fair too. I'm all for attack ads, but you're targeting people -- you're targeting people who are watching Say Yes To The Dress? You want your government run by people ... who's favorite show is Say Yes To The Dress. [Fox News, Outnumbered, 10/2/14]

10. Kimberly Guilfoyle needs to spend her time on Tinder or Match.com

Man they are getting very bold with their women, minority hating.
It's usually a bunch of lies
"NO I don't hate blacks"
"Of course women should have equal rights"

All the while they dream of segregation and make women feel responsible for their rapes.
But this is a nice change, go on and tell America what you really think. It will only help the democrats!!

11. This is the best they have?

Watching "Say Yes to the Dress" is a measure of whether you're an informed voter or not? For the record, I watch it as well as some other dumb reality shows...but I'm also an informed voter! I vote on issues important to me, my family and the public, as do many young women out there.

And notice they don't say anything about young men voting? Obviously because young women are not going to vote for the policies the GOP holds!

P.S. I don't think folks that watch Fox News should vote, but that's not going to happen!

12. The cookie cutter blondes on Fox News are puppets that say what Roger Ailes and his creeps can't say

It's more accepted if a woman says it, so they just have the female anchors say the misogynist things that the male creeps there want to say.

At least Limbaugh, despite being an uninformed idiot, is an unapologetic misogynist who openly admits to having no respect for women. Fox News tries all this cloak and dagger crap to soften their message.
