The GOP presidential campaign’s parade of ignorance continued last week as former New York Lieutenant Governor and Trump surrogate Betsy McCaughey appeared on CNN, criticizing Hillary Clinton for weight-shaming. The Democratic nominee’s recent ad showed young girls scrutinizing themselves in mirrors and was intercut with clips from various Donald Trump interviews in which he plainly articulates his misogyny, including comments that refer to women as “slobs” and “pigs.” The ad concludes with the question “Is this the president we want for our daughters?” (This in the wake of the controversy around 1996’s Miss Universe, Alicia Machado, who Trump condemned in the past for gaining weight.) McCaughey called Clinton’s campaign ad “very disturbing,” claiming “families like mine that have suffered so much are appalled that Mrs. Clinton is exploiting this into a political issue.”

The much ado about Machado and the Republican backlash for Clinton’s “body-shaming” ad only compound the sexism that had characterized this presidential election so far. Trump surrogates trained in Olympic-caliber mental gymnastics are quick to defend his misogyny, either denying sexist comments or decrying the victims of his harassment for deserving it. McCaughey, in a doth-protest-too-much moment, contends “Donald Trump is not a sexist”—after the litany of her candidate’s weight-shaming comments were played in the political ad—willfully failing to recognize that Clinton is not being exploitative, but rather calling attention to a man who exploits women. At this point, anyone fooled by the Trump campaign’s I-know-you-are-but-what-am-I playground rhetoric should consider listening again to Clinton’s ad while looking at themselves in the mirror.
