Women Pigs: Hate-Mongering Bully and Mexican Heritage

women pigs: Then Clinton raised the stakes, according to The Chronicle Herald. She described this election as a moment of reckoning for a country that risks electing a uniquely dangerous man — whom she characterized as an ill-informed, thin-skinned, hate-mongering bully too reckless to hold the great levers of power. "Imagine him in the Oval Office," she said, after accepting the Democratic nomination as the first female presidential candidate for a major U.S. party. "A man we can bait with a tweet is not a man we can trust with nuclear weapons." She referred to him calling women pigs, mocking a judge of Mexican heritage, miming a disabled reporter, and insulting former Republican nominee John McCain for being captured in Vietnam: "Here the sad truth," Clinton said. "There is no other Donald Trump. She rolled through the challenges of this era: stagnant wages, terrorist attacks, climate change, student debt, laying out promises for tackling them as a roomful of supporters waved U.S. flags, chanted her name, and drowned out periodic heckling from left-wing protesters. This is it." She called him unworthy of a country whose Latin motto is, "Out of many, one." Likening him to a childhood tormentor, Clinton shared a story about her mother refusing to allow her in the house as she tried fleeing a bully: "She literally locked the door. 'Go back out there,' she said... She was right. While the party has a variety of progressive planks in its platform it does not intend to fight this election on a left-right axis — but on other fronts. You have to stand up to bullies." It a recurring theme of the Democratic convention. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
