Michelle Wolf Does Unto the White House as It Has Done Unto Others
“Women attacking conservative women for their looks and their jobs It’s shameful. #WHCA.” Those angry words were tweeted by White House Communications Director Mercedes Schlapp at 11:15 p.m. on the night of the White House Correspondents’ Association’s annual dinner.
It was wise to begin her tweet with the caution that the shame was attached to attacking conservative women. In any other case, she might have been asked about : “Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next?” Those words were spoken by then-candidate Donald Trump about then-rival Carly Fiorina, just one of his countless streams of attacks on the looks of women, conservative and otherwise. Trump also a photograph mocking the appearance of Heidi Cruz, the wife of then-candidate Ted Cruz.
