Senior journalist Andrea Mitchell has come under fire online from leftists for saying that Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris is not being taken seriously and that the problem could be alleviated by giving more interviews.
Mitchell made the comments while discussing polling issues for Democratic candidates on MSNBC, noting that a lack of support for misogyny among voters, especially men, plays a big role.
“I think there's misogyny in all of this, black and white, it's a big problem.”
“They need to double down on more interviews and serious interviews, because what I'm hearing from Democratic and Republican businessmen, and a lot of men, is that she has a very big problem with men. Mitchell said.
“I think Trump's votes were undercounted. I think there's misogyny in all of this, both black men and white men. It's a big problem. But the business world also doesn't think she's serious. They don't think she's a serious 'heavyweight,''' she continued. “And a lot of that is due to gender, but she needs to be more specific about her financial plans.”
A 30-second clip of Mitchell's comments was posted on social media, prompting outrage and reaction from many on the left.
“Calling a female presidential candidate unserious when President Trump is talking about sharks and Hannibal Lecter is such blatant misogyny. Come on.” read One of the most common reactions.
“Who cares what this tragic corpse thinks?” read Another reply.
“Andrea Mitchell needs to retire old and ignorant. No one takes Andrea Mitchell seriously. She says this nonsense and people call Kamala 'serious' or 'heavy. “Kamala Harris' opponent is Donald Trump,” she said. answered Another critic.
“Andrea Mitchell hates women. She did the same to Hillary Clinton when she ran. It's a shame that @MSNBC is keeping her in place.” read Another reply.
Mitchell's video comment has been viewed more than 3.1 million times.
