Cory Booker calls out the Misogyny!




Great job, Cory.

lol

But, yeah, women candidates are held to a different standard than their male counterparts.

Same old same old.

1. Because Warren is viewed as a threat to Sanders and you, Booker, are not.

I've seen online Sanders supporters attacking Buttigieg's people over their silly dancing as well.

NOTE: The original tweet is one of the Bernie-or-Bust types, that is why I am referring to this attack as coming from a Sanders supporter.

Kyle Kulinski is a professional jerk. And a big Bernie supporter to boot.

It expresses joy.

I even saw Bernie dancing post heart-attack. Good for him.

5. Lots of slapback on this horsepoo, even from Sanders supporters.

Warren has always bounced around to music enthusiastically - and this rally goer isn’t having this attack on her at all.

I attended this rally for Elizabeth Warren, and I can say that she felt relatable and authentic. She felt like the teachers I had growing up who I trusted.

Being both informed and kind may not be your thing, but don’t attack someone because you don’t have the range.

Booker has always been a solid supporter for women’s rights.
