Hillary Faced ‘Continuing Existence of a Double Standard for Women’

Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA) mentioned Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that the remedy 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton obtained on the marketing campaign path as presidential candidate confirmed a “continuing existence of a double standard for women.”

Host Kristen Welker mentioned, “You say in one section of the book, 2016, when you were then-Secretaryq Clinton’s running mate ‘taught me some painful lessons about a country I thought I understood.’ What are the lessons?”

Kaine mentioned, “In 2016, one of the things I learned pretty powerfully is there’s still a double standard affecting women. Look, I knew that intellectually. I’m married to a professional woman, and I’ve seen it in her life and in the lives of others, but not until I was on that trail with Hillary and saw a good person and a good public servant, you know, judged more harshly than her opponent in numerous instances, I think I really got a PHD in the continuing existence of a double standard for women.”
