Pelosi says 'element of misogyny' in race as Warren becomes latest female candidate to bow out

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she is "encouraged" by the ideological debates within the Democratic Party now represented by Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and former Vice President Joe Biden, but lamented not having a female candidate in the general election.

Pelosi said during a Thursday press conference that there were "great candidates," specifically touting Sens. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., but hypothesized as to why they came up short.

"I do think that there's a certain element of misogyny that is there. And some of it isn't really mean-spirited, it just isn't their experience," Pelosi said. She claimed that some people have "their own insecurities" that prevent them from voting for a woman.

Warren also pointed to sexism as a possible factor in the Democratic base essentially boiling down to two men. Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard is still in the race as the sole female candidate, but she has secured just one delegate in the primaries thus far after failing to qualify for the most recent debates.

still surprised her candidacy never caught fire. Loved Liz as well....the others I never thought were especially strong candidates.
