2012’s “War on Women” line of attack by the Democrats and the media appears to be back in full-swing, even before the party has elected its nominee. After Donald Trump accused Hillary Clinton of using the “woman card,” Clinton shot back, championing her pro-abortion, feminist politics. Instead of talking about more important breaking news, the networks, cable news, and late-night talk shows focused on the feud, defending Clinton. The Daily Show, April 27, was no different, with host Trevor Noah applauding Hillary’s “cute” reaction to “crushing” her GOP opponent’s “sexist” statement.
After playing Trump’s statement that Clinton was playing “the woman card” to garner sympathy, Noah reacted by praising Clinton’s experience and credibility.
NOAH: [Y]es, Hillary does play the woman card. But you know what other cards she plays? The the secretary of state card. The same person we trust with the nuclear codes card.
Noah then gushed over Clinton’s response to Trump, calling it “so cute” and bragging that she “crushed” her opponent with such a great answer, to her supporters approval and applause.
NOAH: That is so cute! No, like, think about it. You haven't seen Hillary crush for a while. She even said it. She said, "I'm not good at campaigning. I'm not good at jokes." And here she is she's crushing it.
But after playing a clip of Trump ragging on Clinton for yelling, Noah exasperatedly asked, “Is there nothing Trump wouldn't double down on?” He continued by calling out Trump for “sexism” and making crass bathroom jokes.
NOAH: [H]e's been accused of sexism, and his response is more sexism. "Mr. Trump, a lot of women say you're sexist." And he's like, "I don't know what she's bitches are talking about. I don't know. I don't know." ( Applause ) And as if these remarks weren't disrespectful enough, from the sound of his voice, I'm pretty sure he was taking a dump while he was on that call. Yeah! You know those expensive hotels that have the toilet phones. And you always wonder, who would use the phone in the toilet? Now we know, now we know exactly who would do that. And you know what? Trump is full of shit. Because, yes, Hillary does sometimes shout. You know who else shouts? Everyone else on the campaign trail.
See the full transcript below:
TRUMP: I think the only card she has is the woman's card. She has nothing else going. And frankly, if Hillary Clinton were a man, I don't think she'd get 5% of the vote. The only thing she's got going is the woman's card.
NOAH: Okay, okay. Let's go with Trump. Yes, Hillary does play the woman card. She does, she does, because she's a woman. ( Laughter ) It's the same way you play the racist douchebag card. This is who you are. We all play the cards we have. So, yes, Hillary does play the woman card. But you know what other cards she plays? The the secretary of state card. The same person we trust with the nuclear codes card. The only card she doesn't have is a working metro card. That's pretty much the only one she doesn't have. But Hillary didn't take this lying down. Last night, she shot back.
CLINTON: The other day, Mr. Trump accused me of playing the "Woman card." ( Booing ) Well, if fighting for women's health care and paid family leave and equal pay is playing the woman card, then deal me in! ( Cheers and applause )
NOAH: That is so cute! No, like, think about it. You haven't seen Hillary crush for a while. She even said it. She said, "I'm not good at campaigning. I'm not good at jokes." And here she is she's crushing it. And she's up there with a smile on her face. Finally, a joke landed for her up and know this is not going to be the end. When a joke lands, you keep telling that joke. I can see her the night after the thing and telling the bartender, are so then I said 'deal me in'." She is going to keep on saying it, keep on saying it. ( Applause ) She'll be at her inauguration and be like, "So help me God, and then I said 'deal me in'."
So after Hillary called Trump out for his sexist statement, Trump was given a chance to redeem himself on "Morning Joe," but instead he said this.
TRUMP: I haven't quite recovered, it's early in the morning, from her shouting that message. And I know a lot of people would say, "You can't say that about a woman," because, of course, a woman doesn't shout but the way she shouted that message was not-- ooo. That's the way she said it. ( Laughter )
NOAH: Is there nothing Trump wouldn't double down on? He's been accused of sexism, and his response is more sexism. "Mr. Trump, a lot of women say you're sexist." And he's like, "I don't know what she's bitches are talking about. I don't know. I don't know." ( Applause ) And as if these remarks weren't disrespectful enough, from the sound of his voice, I'm pretty sure he was taking a dump while he was on that call. Yeah! You know those expensive hotels that have the toilet phones. And you always wonder, who would use the phone in the toilet? Now we know, now we know exactly who would do that. And you know what? Trump is full of shit. Because, yes, Hillary does sometimes shout. You know who else shouts? Everyone else on the campaign trail.
