Sen. Amy Klobuchar on Sunday argued that one of her opponents in the presidential race, South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, would not have qualified for the Democratic primary debates if he were a woman, given his lack of experience in Washington.
“Of the women on the stage… do I think we would be standing on that stage if we had the experience that [Mayor Pete Buttigieg] had? No, I don’t. Maybe we’re held to a different standard.” - Sen. Amy Klobuchar on Mayor Buttigieg’s qualifications #CNNSOTU pic.twitter.com/xz0cEH86OZButtigieg’s campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the remark.
Though Klobuchar said she believes Buttigieg is qualified, at the heart of her criticism is that his political background lies in his eight years as mayor of a small city, rather than having held a state or federal post.
But....
None of those Democrat socialist clowns would qualify!!
I didn't see gender as one of the criteria. It was based on polling and donations.
OMG 🤦♂️
That sounds like a very sexist statement to me.
