Conservative Women Are Not Cockroaches
It’s been 26 years since Barbara Walters launched her all-girl talk show, “The View” on ABC and I’ve never watched it.
Not once.
I work for a living. I can’t watch daytime TV. Even if I had the time, I wouldn’t waste it watching a cackling coven of liberal women berate a lone conservative, which is the show’s winning format.
Still, I am occasionally subjected, via social media, to the inane rantings of these banshees as they screech at each other and display their incredible ignorance.
I watched a clip of the time Whoopi Goldberg, in March of 2020, suggested Joe Biden appoint “Dr. Jill” as surgeon general of the U.S.
“She’s a hell of a doctor,” Whoopi declared. “An amazing doctor.”
The audience, apparently no smarter than Whoopi, applauded wildly.
Then there was the outrage that exploded in 2018 when co-host Joy Behar had to apologize to Mike Pence for labeling his brand of Christianity a “mental illness.”
I saw another clip of Behar - who’s described on Wikipedia as a “comedian” although she seems relentlessly unfunny - expressing outrage that, “The Supreme Court is poised to pass a bill contradicting New York City’s state law” on gun possession.
Behar is living proof that civic education is dead in America.
All of this brings us to yesterday when someone named Sunny Hostin - described on Wikipedia as a lawyer, journalist and television host - expressed disbelief over a Wall Street Journal poll that showed that in increasing numbers white suburban women were planning to vote Republican next week.
Sunny Hostin is a disgusting racist. https://t.co/9X4XepSgKr

Yep, a woman of color actually compared conservative white women to cockroaches.
Frankly, as a conservative suburban white woman myself, I am deeply offended by the stereotyping of women who wander off of the Democratic plantation.
Sorry, Sunny, but not every woman is an abortion enthusiast.
This is a mistake left-leaning women make constantly.
I remember writing about NBC’s Andrea Mitchell who was in Norfolk in August 2012 for the big reveal of Mitt Romney’s running mate. He made the announcement beside the battleship Wisconsin, which made perfect sense as that was Paul Ryan’s home state.
Mitchell was visibly disgusted by Romney’s selection. Here’s what I wrote at the time:
A few feet from me on the press stand was tiny Andrea Mitchell, whose stylist apparently thought it would be cute to dress her in some sort of nautical get-up for her trip to a Navy town. Her dark blazer with a red shirt and crisp white pants looked like something Thurston Howell III would have worn on "Gilligan's Island." Only in a petite.
As she spoke into the camera, with the crowd to her back, Mitchell told MSNBC viewers that Ryan's selection "is not a pick for suburban moms. This is not a pick for women."
Oh, really?
If she’d turned around, NBC's chief foreign affairs correspondent might have noticed that at least half of the people cheering themselves hoarse for Paul Ryan were women. Many appeared to be suburban moms.
I know it’s difficult for narrow-minded lefties to comprehend, but women are just like men. We have political leanings of all sorts.
To insinuate that all women must be abortion-supporting liberals is insulting.
And to compare suburban white conservative women to cockroaches?
Repulsive. And racist.
