Fox host tells supermodel to shut up about gun control: You have a ‘lovely bottom… stick to that’

Source: RawStory



When it comes to expressing opinions on gun control, Fox News host Andrea Tantaros said on Thursday that supermodels should keep their mouths shut and their clothes off.

Following the shooting near Parliament in Ottawa, Canada on Tuesday, supermodel Chrissy Teigen made what The Huffington Post called “a good point” about the difference between gun violence in the U.S. and other countries.

“Active shooting in Canada, or as we call it in america, wednesday,” she wrote on Twitter.

“That’s not a joke. It is a fact,” she added.

“She should stay on Instagram,” OutNumbered host Andrea Tantaros quipped. “Chrissy Teigen is known for, obviously, her lovely bottom, and her food Instagram pictures. She should stick to that.”

And now Teigen has been run off of Twitter due to hateful & vile responses, such as:

Everyone uses it as a weapon.

Women-on-women misogyny is a major problem.

Had an old, white man said what Andrea did, there would have been more outrage.

Has Kimberly Guilfoyle apologized for saying young women shouldnt vote suggesting that they are stupid? What if a male had said that on the air?

When I was growing up, I remember girls calling each other all sorts of misogynistic names. And there are some people who think in that context that it's OK. I remember here on DU a jury allowed a female DUer to use the c-word, but another post was hidden when the word was used by a man. What message do you think that sends?

Now the misogynists just have to get a few women on their side to make those comments for them. And there appears to be no shortage of women willing to do that.

nor would any feminist.
