Misogyny and Sexism in the News

Happy_Go_Lucky · 03-29-2014, 07:49 AM

Bridget Kelly, the Chris Christie aide directly implicated in the BridgeGate scandal, sent out a statement today slamming the credibility of the report released this week and slamming the “editorialized comments” of the man leading the investigation.

In particular, Kelly’s statement takes serious issue with several references to her relationship to another Christie ally in the report. Rachel Maddow called out those parts of the report as “slut-shaming” last night, and Kelly’s statement calls them out for blatant sexism

As I was listening to Christies self-appointed lawyers at their press conference the other day exonerating Christie from all wrong doing in the bridge lane closure fiasco, "of course" I thought. He has the tax payer money to investigate HIMSELF. BUT THEN, it took a gloomy and sinister turn when the attorneys were not so subtly reassuring us that Christie is innocent of all charges because Ms. Kelly is/was a scorned woman. My WTF line on my forehead had a workout.
