That was the word repeatedly used to describe her, even here on DU. It is the word that is used to describe all female politicians.

What is weak is a man who cannot stand a strong woman and has to diminish her by calling her “weak”. And a woman who cannot stand that another woman has achieved more power in this sexist world than she has and also has to diminish her by calling her “weak”.

I am sick and tired of weak men and women. They gave us President Donald Trump. And they tried to take Speaker Pelosi away from us. If I explained how much contempt I have for such people, this message would not be fit to post here.
