Misogyny in Political Discourse

Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama and other Democratic women are clapping back to conservative vitriol. (Credit: CBS, CNN and ABC News) Vice President Kamala Harris and her fellow Democratic peers are putting up a fight in the verbal political arena. Since announcing her plans to run for president, Harris has been on the receiving end of an uptick in criticism from conservative politicians — most notably, former president and current Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, who has attacked everything from her political past to her racial identity. Trump’s running mate, J.D. Vance, has made digs at Harris as well, most notably for not having biological children. (This was, indeed, the reason for his “childless cat ladies” rant.) Harris has shown she isn’t phased by the low-ball remarks — in fact, she and her cohorts are clapping back. We’ve gathered the seven of the sharpest responses to conservative vitriol from Democratic women leaders, along with a few choice quips from Harris herself, as they collectively demonstrate that hate won’t stop a woman from running for president.
