Trump surrogate Scottie Nell Hughes enraged Hillary didn’t say white boys can be president too

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 she’s a woman.”

“Hillary Clinton, when she was in that room of girls, said if you’re a daughter or if you’re 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 it’s equally an option for both of you.'”

“That’s the problem,” she continued. “We’ve continued to say we want equality, we want equal but we then tear down one group and tried to build up another. That’s what I heard last night.”

Hughes remarks were met with quizzical looks from the CNN panel.

“So was Hillary Clinton tearing down men?” CNN’s 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 she’s going to sit there and put favor on one?”

OBVIOUSLY. That must be her master plan, to destroy all white men.


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

I think there's a serious lacking of abstract thought amongst many people in this country where they can't properly process the art of rhetoric.

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.

As it turns out, the video of all the dudes that were past POTUS, and picture of Hillary breaking through the glass gave EVERYONE a pretty good idea the prevalence and the abundance of white male Presidents.

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.
