BRAVO. No one asked if Pence was a nice boss, was ambitious, was likeable. No one covered what he wore. No one asked how much his suits cost. The very same standard should apply to Biden's VP.

MSNBC’s Ali Velshi: We Need to Stop Applying Double Standards to Women in Politics

By Josh FeldmanAug 9th, 2020, 3:24 pm

MSNBC’s Ali Velshi devoted a segment of his show Sunday to calling out double standards about women in politics in the United States.

Velshi ran through a list of nations that have had women as presidents or prime ministers — “the list goes on and on, it spans every continent, but not America.”

He said right now the U.S. is on the cusp of history because Joe Biden has made it clear he’s picking a woman to be his vice presidential candidate, calling the diverse list “an empirically impressive group of women.”

“It’s going to take real effort to mess this one up, but if there’s anything America can mess up, it’s the advancement of women,” Velshi said.
