Madeleine Albright "There's a special place in hell for women who don't help eachother (Hillary)

for women who don't help each other" when she campaigns for Hillary.

As a woman I find that offensive and disgusting. I'm going to hell because I'm not "helping" HRC get the prize she so desperately wants?

On May 12, 1996, Albright defended UN sanctions against Iraq on a 60 Minutes segment in which Lesley Stahl asked her "We have heard that half a million children have died. I mean, that's more children than died in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price worth it?" and Albright replied "we think the price is worth it."

Oh my God, what is wrong with these Clintonites? They are in a mad dash to save Hillary's disastrous campaign. I don't think most of them realize that they are saying!

I'm sure this will play over real well with the women who are voting for Bernie Sanders in New Hampshire! He's leading 20+ points in the polls, so that's a lot of people.

The Clinton camp and her fans have gone completely feral.

That young millennial women are only supporting Bernie Sanders because that's "where the boys are"

I'm stunned at the crazy twists from HRC's surrogates. Madness really.

Taking it to its logical conclusion, it means we should all be behind Carly Fiorina, or Sarah Palin, or Nikki Haley.

Her comment suggests that woman can't make it on their own merits and it does matter what they support. They must rely on being propped up simply for having a vagina.

Based on her extremely flawed reasoning, every Democratic woman who didn't vote for McCain/Palin in 2008 is going to Hell.

How disgusting.

but I'm not going to vote for someone just because they are a women. That's what Albright and Steinem seem to be saying. I know both of these women had it hard in the 50's 60's 70' trying to get ahead in their fields going against the misogyny of peers and bosses.
It would be a disservice to what they fought for to just vote for any women. Wouldn't they want the best to represent all women. For example Elizabeth Warren?

Shameful gender card coming from the Clinton camp given the number of innocent women they have killed through their policies over the last 25 years. There is a special place in hell for people like Madeleine Albright who pretend to be for something while doing the exact opposite in reality.

What spectacularly bad judgment from the Clinton campaign and surrogates. It's hard to believe they keep going there.

Albright also pushed back against Clinton's rival, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who often pitches a "political revolution."

"So people are talking about revolution, what a revolution it would be to have a woman president," she said.
