>> I SO WISH THAT WE HAD A WOMAN PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES,,
AND WE CAME VERY TO DOING THAT
WITH WOMEN THAT ARE SO MUCH MORE
QUALIFIED THAN PEOPLE WHO HAVE
RUN LEFT THE OFFICE.
THERE WAS A CERTAIN ELEMENT OF
MISOGYNY THAT IS THERE.
>> Harris: THAT IS HOW SPEAKER
NANCY PELOSI SAYING SEXISM
PLAYED A ROLE IN
ELIZABETH WARREN’S 2020 LOSS AND
CHOICE TO GET OUT JUST HOURS
AFTER MORAN SAID THAT EVEN
RAISING THE ISSUE WILL GET YOU
GARBED A WHINER.
MEANWHILE, PRESIDENT TRUMP TODAY
ON WHAT HE THINKS REALLY SANK
WARREN’S WHITE HOUSE BID.
>> I THINK LACK OF TALENT WAS
HER PROBLEM.
HER PROBLEM. SHE HAD A TREMENDOUS LACK OF
TALENT.
TALENT. PEOPLE DON’T LIKE HER.
SHE’S A VERY MEAN PERSON AND
PEOPLE DON’T LIKE HER.
>> Harris: SCOTT BOLDEN,
FORMER WASHINGTON, D.C.,
DEMOCRATIC PARTY CHAIRMAN WITH
ME NOW
ME NOW WHAT TO MAKE OF IT?
>> GOOD AFTERNOON.
NOT SURPRISED THAT DONALD TRUMP
WOULD SAY IT’S LACK OF TALENT.
HE’S GOT A HISTORY OF
MISOGYNISTIC COMMENTS.
MISOGYNISTIC COMMENTS. >> Harris: HOW IS THAT
MISOGYNISTIC?
MISOGYNISTIC? YOU KNOW WE ARE GOING TO GO BACK
AND FORTH ON THIS.
I KNOW IT THAT CAN LOOK LIKE BUT
TO SAY THAT SOMEBODY DOESN’T
HAVE THE SKILL IS IT NECESSARILY
ABOUT GENDER, IS IT?
>> IT MAY OR MAY NOT BE FOR THE
SPEAKER WHO IS SAYING IT WAS
LACK OF TALENT BECAUSE NO ONE
OTHER THAN DONALD TRUMP COULD
DENY THAT ELIZABETH WARREN WAS A
TALENTED DEBATER, OUTPERFORM
MANY OF THE DEMOCRATIC
CANDIDATES ON THE DEBATES.
>> Harris: WITH ALL DUE
RESPECT, BERNIE SANDERS MIGHT
FALL INTO THAT CATEGORY.
>> I’M NOT SURE THAT MEANS HE
HAS A HATE FOR WOMEN.
MEANS THAT HE BELIEVED SHE
WASN’T TELLING THE TRUTH AND I
THINK THAT WAS OFF THE RECORD
AFTER THE DEBATE.
IN BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS THIS,
IS THERE AN ELEMENT OF SEXISM IN
REGARD TO RUNNING FOR THE
PRESIDENT?
PRESIDENT? I THINK SO BECAUSE WE’VE NEVER
HAD A PRESIDENT THAT’S BEEN A
WOMAN.
WOMAN. I THIS IS WHY WE HAVEN’T HAD A
FEMALE PRESIDENT, YOU’VE GOT TO
GET ONE MORE VOTE THAN THE NEXT
GUY AND YOU HAVE TO HAVE MONEY.
IN THE END, PEOPLE HAVE TO LIKE
YOU AND CONNECT WITH YOU AND
VOTE FOR YOU.
SO THAT COMBINATION IS THE BEST
EXPLANATION I CAN SHARE WITH THE
VIEWERS BECAUSE LOOKING AT THE
STATE LEVEL, LOOK AT THE FEDERAL
LEVEL, WE HAVE FEMALE SENATORS,
WE HAVE FEMALE CONGRESSMEN,
FEMALE LEADERS IN THE CABINET,
HISTORICALLY NOT AS MANY AS WE
COULD’VE HAD BEFORE THE 19TH
AMENDMENT.
AMENDMENT. BUT YOU STILL HAVE THAT SUCCESS
AT THE STATE, LOCAL, AND FEDERAL
LEVELS.
LEVELS. SO HOW DO YOU COMPARE THAT TO
>> Harris: DO YOU THINK THERE
IS PRESSURE ON DEMOCRATS WHO
DRIVE HARD IN THE LANE OF
DIVERSITY AND VOICES FOR ALL AN
OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL, DO YOU
THINK THERE IS PRESSURE THAT IS
WARRANTED ON DEMOCRATS?
>> PRESSURE TO ELECT A WOMAN.
>> Harris: NOT JUST TO ELECT
BUT FOR THAT PERSON TO BE VIABLE
ACROSS THE BOARD.
>> I THINK THE PRESSURE IS ON
ALL OF US TO BE VIABLE ACROSS
THE BOARD IF YOU ARE A WOMAN
CANDIDATE.
CANDIDATE. BUT IN THE END, THAT NOTION THAT
I JUST SHARED IS THAT THIS YEAR
IS DIFFERENT.
IS DIFFERENT. WHO WAS THE BEST CANDIDATE TO
BEAT DONALD TRUMP?
THAT’S WHERE THE REAL PRESSURE
IS AND THAT SKEWS WHETHER THIS
PRESSURE TO HAVE A WOMAN NOMINEE
OR NOT.
OR NOT. BUT AGAIN, AMERICA HAS A LONG
WAY TO GO ON THAT GENDER
QUESTION AND THE RACE QUESTION.
WE CAN ALWAYS BE BETTER AND WE
ARE ALWAYS TRYING TO BE THERE.
>> Harris: I HEARKEN BACK TO
ONE OF MY COLLEAGUES HERE WHO
RAN TO CHAIR THE DNC AND SHE
POINTED OUT SHE THOUGHT ALSO WAS
SEXISM, I JUST WONDER IF YOUR
PARTY IF YOU NEED TO TAKE A
HARDER LOOK.
HARDER LOOK. I WILL BRING YOU BACK ON ANOTHER
