Donald Trump surrogate Scottie Nell Hughes lashed out at Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton on Wednesday for failing to acknowledge that boys could grow up to be president after her historic nomination.
After Hillary Clinton became the first female nominee for president on Tuesday, Hughes argued on CNN the next morning that it was sexist for women to vote for Clinton just because shes a woman.
Hillary Clinton, when she was in that room of girls, said if youre a daughter or if youre a girl you could be president too, Hughes observed, this would have been an excellent opportunity to say, You know what, whether you are a boy or a girl, both of you, my job will be to make sure its equally an option for both of you.'
Thats the problem, she continued. Weve continued to say we want equality, we want equal but we then tear down one group and tried to build up another. Thats what I heard last night.
Hughes remarks were met with quizzical looks from the CNN panel.
So was Hillary Clinton tearing down men? CNNs Carol Costello wondered. I think she was, Hughes insisted. What about my son? Does my son from what she said your daughter can become one as well I immediately [thought] what about making it equal so both of them have the opportunity? Why is it that shes going to sit there and put favor on one?

(and let's forget that she's married to one...)

Will anyone think of those poor white males growing up with NO role models?
The sheer stupidity on display is breathtaking.

(26,060 posts)of just how historic last night was. 44 pictures of men didn't convince them that boys could become President. We're dealing with complete imbeciles.

(27,315 posts)but Hugues's candidate made sure there are plenty of other reasons to vote for her, starting by the fact he is not fit to be president, and that his program is disgusting.
As for the rest, it is BS. White boys have known they could be president forever.
