Warren makes fun of Bloomberg's height

[madaboutharry]

55. Those are the words of a bully.

I’m surprised she would say something like that.

Shorter people live in a world that is designed in a way that makes life a little harder. It is very subtle, but it is a reality that is always there. It sometimes can be a frustrating fact of life.

Who can relate to this:
Standing in the aisle of a supermarket waiting for someone to come along to get something off the top shelf.
Walking into a clothing store and having maybe 10% of things in your size.
Often having to pay extra for alterations or for shipping because you have to order online.
Cars are not made for short people and being short influences the car you drive.
Having to keep step stools around in order to get to things in your own house.
These are only a few examples of how not “being tall” makes life inconvenient.
Short people, especially in childhood, have sometimes been the victims of cruel bullying.
And here is Sen. Warren reminding us that cultural standards of physical attractiveness exclude short stature and that people project personal qualities onto a person’s height.

And that isn’t even taking into consideration of the challenges people with dwarfism face in a world where even building codes are against them.

Jokes about a person’s height are never funny.

This is the callous comment on many levels and it is so unlike her. It is disappointing that she thought for even a moment it is funny.
