Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) says she's treated differently in the U.S. Senate because she's a woman.
In an interview that aired on CNN Wednesday, she said she agreed with Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand who revealed many details of what she called sexist behavior in her recent book. As Yahoo News reveals, unlike Gillibrand, Warren won't elaborate on her charge; instead, she's content with hurling the accusation and not backing it up with any names or examples.
In an interview with CNN scheduled to air Wednesday, Warren was asked whether she had experienced treatment similar to what Gillibrand described.
"Yes," Warren said.
Would she care to elaborate?
"Nope," she said. "I've said all I'm going to say."
The 65-year-old Democrat, who is in her first term as senator, said she wasn't surprised to encounter sexism in the upper chamber, which is now comprised of 80 men and 20 women.
Gillibrand provided many details about the supposed "sexism" in the Senate chamber, including remarks from an un-named Senator calling her "chubby." It's been deduced that the chubby remark came from the late Sen. Daniel Inouye, a Democrat.
Warren is confident that the alleged sexism will soon be a thing of the past as more women join the club:
"It’s hard to change these big, male dominated institutions. What I am very happy about is that there are now enough women in the United States Senate to bring change to that place and I think that’s just powerfully important.”
However, it's pretty reasonable to reach the conclusion that the Senators in question are all probably Democrats considering Warren's penchant for using gender issues to attack Republicans at every turn. If members of the GOP were treating her in a shabby way because of her sex, wouldn't she call them out? If not, why not?
