A RedState post claimed that Hillary Clinton proves "even a homely woman can sleep her way into power." RedState's editor-in-chief Erick Erickson recently disinvited Donald Trump from the RedState Gathering event for Trump's sexist attacks on Fox's Megyn Kelly.

The attack on Clinton comes in a RedState post from one of its front page contributors, who goes by "streiff," who wrote:

If Hillary Clinton possesses any unique selling propostion beyond proving even a homely woman can sleep her way into power, it is her tenure as Barack Obama's secretary of state. That seems to be a slender enough reed when polls show the electorate could give a flying rat's patootie about experience and favor a change agent above all.

The post is featured at the top of the RedState home page:

Well, so much for their newfound concern about misogyny.

1. Fuck you, Erick Erickson. Where you breathe. (nt)

[Eleanors38]

2. "Look, Mommy! He put his grunty on the sidewalk!"

[KamaAina]

3. Homely?!

Srsly?

[treestar]

17. yeah, isn't there kind of a disconnect

between being "homely" and being able to "sleep your way" into anything?

[erronis]

4. I'm new here. Why should we give this trash any visibility?

Isn't there a better way to debunk crap than raising it up to a level of commentability? Isn't that exactly what they want?

[ananda]

5. The media idiocracy at work!

Clinton is NOT homely by any stretch, and I very seriously doubt
that she "slept her way to power" with anyone except her husband.

She is plenty powerful and beautiful on her own.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

8. Not that it matters, but here's what she looked like when she met Bill

If only we could all be so "homely"

[ananda]

18. Exactly.

Clinton sometimes reminds me of Shirley Jones.

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

6. I will defend Hillary and all women. This is disgusting.

Also, Hillary is NOT homely. She was a very pretty/beautiful when she was young. Now she is a very nice looking older lady.

And what if she wasn't? Anyway you look at it this is SEXISM, and just plain rude and disgusting.

7. his mother must be so proud. what is it with fat little men and their bs?

[rurallib]

9. making up for certain shortcomings

[restorefreedom]

15. it is tiny penis syndrome

the same thing that drives the animal killers like that slime bag walter palmer.

[onecaliberal]

10. Senator Clinton is very smart unlike

#LiarMediaBarbie who they clearly didn't hire for intellect. These people are fucking pathetic.

[sarge43]

11. Consider the source, my friends, consider the source.

We're not talking Prince Charming here, more a frat boy way past his shelf date.

[The Second Stone]

12. Well, she must be quite a lay then

because Bill Clinton has had his and more share of women to choose from.

Actually, I find her pretty throughout the years, on the outside and the inside.

[murielm99]

13. Wow.

I have not seen that before. Someone found a new way to slander her.

[zazen]

14. what a pig, & it doesn't matter how attractive she is--they'll pick her apart anyway

Their fuming, pasty, pudgy, near-impotent attempts to appearance-shame her are vile.

[restorefreedom]

16. this is one of the reasons

repubs are unlikely to have the wh again for a very long time. they hate people who do not believe in their 1% er theocracy and spew filth because they can't help themselves.

[Jack Rabbit]

19. Jack Rabbit calls Erick Erickson a "dick" who practices "journalistic malfeasance"

I know, I know, all right wing pundits practice journalistic malfeasance.

[monmouth4]

20. I'm a Bernie supporter but would have to argue that Hillary is a very pretty woman and this

coarse talk is ridiculous. He should be ashamed...

[CTyankee]

21. Shame? What's that? They don't have any shame.

I'm a Bernie supporter too but I'll defend Hillary against these sexist and crappy remarks any day of the week...

[awoke_in_2003]

22. Shame is a word

not in their vocabulary

[hamsterjill]

23. Yeah, it's too threatening to think a woman might have a brain.

I always find it fascinating how they quiver and shake at the mere mention of Hillary!!!! LOL

She is savvy, she is experienced, she is formidable - - - and that scares the hell out of them!
