Debunking 3 Main Attacks On Hillary



Hillary Clinton is being held to a higher standard than any of her male counterparts. That is a fact. But why is that? Is it because she’s a woman? I don’t know, but considering how often she is attacked for doing nothing more….and in many cases far less….than any man that’s run for President, it’s hard to imagine that sexism doesn’t play at least a part in the Hillary-hating.

It’s a little reminiscent of the way Republicans have treated President Obama. They have shown more disrespect and outright hatred for Obama than any President in history. And it’s just as hard to imagine that racism doesn’t play a part.

But of the many attacks constantly thrown at Hillary, there seem to be three that consistently come up….dishonesty, scandals, and her ties to big money and Wall Street. But are those attacks….many times border-lining on slander….warranted?

Well let’s break these attacks down and shine a little reality into the situation.

The white patriarchy ( and media) who want to preserve the status quo. IMO they don't want to give up power and are scared of changes the future brings.
Can you imagine a woman candidate as disqualified as Trump, spouting off like he does? ( OK , Palin is out there😉.)
