“And by the way, what an insult to people like Dana Bash, who’s 51 and his colleague at CNN,” She added. “Sorry, ‘past your due date.’ What does he mean by ‘prime’? The co-anchor [Poppy Harlow] had an instinct that this was offensive, but frankly wasn’t effective enough to actually shove it down his throat and recognize — are you referring to childbearing years? Because that is something women can mostly only do in their 20s, 30s, and 40s. And he wouldn’t even sign on to that. Just childbearing is not what determines whether a woman is in her prime.”

He does not respect women. He does not see women as equals.”

Seriously, what was that? “inartful” Concerning his comments? Inartful refers to when you use the wrong word in order to express a valid point. These comments were repeated three times, tripling their impact. He argued the point when challenged. This wasn’t clumsy speech- it was misogyny. And it’s not his 1st time.
