resentment. if you criticize a black or hispanic or female in the democratic primary, they re going to try to deflect. maybe they will play the gender card or race card and they won t argue their points on substance and it s going to do them a disservice in the general. i think what happened with hillary, she didn t play the gender card when she was attacked by trump on policy. she was pretty sharp on policy and i have to give her some respect for that. obama didn t always play the victim. even on the attack, he was pretty tough. i think the culture of the country, they are going to see 40 democrats playing the victim and whining. they don t see winners. i think they re going to see losers. dana: hillary s slogan wasn t make america great again. it s i am with her. that was the ultimate. jesse: i am saying that when trump goes after her on immigration or health care, she didn t say you are attacking me because i m a woman. she came back hard on policy.
problematic the emergence of marsha fudge, people talking about whether or not she could run and if she were to throw her hat in the ring, she s from the ohio and this would solve the gender problems democrats say they have if they were to get rid of speaker pelosi. paul: kim, the gender card, supporters are playing it really hard, look, you can t afford at the democratic party to be seen opposing a woman as leader, but hey, if you want to rise to the top of something, you know, and then say well, we have the break the glass ceiling, sometimes you have to fall through the glass floor once in a while, no? it s a ridiculous this isn t about gender, supporters have been claiming, this is just about a democratic party that just won reelection to the majority in the house and they want some change. they ve had the same people in charge for a very long time.
currently, majority leader kevin mccarthy is the favorite. but he faces a challenge from ohio conservative. across the ire of donna kyle, the democrats like their leader. current minority leader nancy pelosi and her allies are increasingly making gender a central part of her bid to become speaker of the house again. saying that the party cannot afford to remove the only woman in leadership following a historic election for women. house majority whip, steve scalise, has something to say about that. i think the real irony of this pink wave notion that they are advancing is that they spend millions of dollars defeating a lot of republican women. on one hand, she wants to play the gender card here. but she will spend tens of millions of dollars to defeat republican women. melissa: there s been an anti-pelosi movement among some democrat since last year, and they now include incoming congressman of new york. watch. what i can tell you because what i can control right now is my vote.
here with an unsolved immigration thing. he will get a handful of votes, it ll be mccarthy. dagen: are called more than once that she would play the gender card! in the year of the woman, you vote against me? you are antifemale! again, i thought from a thousand miles away. marie: nancy pelosi, as of today, does not have the votes. there are other members like max rose, abigail sandberg in virginia, who have said they won t vote for her. the challenge is that there is not one challenger that everyone will solidified around. they will probably be a fight, maybe somebody like seth moulton. other folks. i don t think ryan is going this time, he did last time around. what s of interesting i agree that, for my part, we need to women in leadership. particularly in the political climate. i just don t want nancy pelosi saying that. he placed into an a narrative t her that s not always fair or
are not. julie: let s let the viewers decide whether or not she is pulling the gender card. there was an interview with cbs face the nation and she spoke about the male dominated congress am structure. said hillary clinton s defeat was a primary reason she thought to extend her time in the white house. i want you to hear this then we ll come back and discuss. we cannot have the four leaders of congress, president of the united states, these five people and not have a voice of women. especially since women were the majority of the voters, the workers in campaigns and now part of this glorious new dream. when i came to congress there were 12 democratic women. i said we have to change this. now we ll have close to 90. julie: when nancy pelosi came to washington, democrats had only 12 women in the chamber. now they have about 90. so she says if hillary had won, she d go home. they have 90 women. it s not like there s a shortage of women, but she still believes that it is a male domin
