SubscribeHillary Gets Woman’s Vote Wrong - Again!
Once again in her speech last night Hillary made a now familiar claim, this time using her own mother as the foil:
“My mother was born before women could vote. But in this election my daughter got to vote for her mother for president.”
And once again (and for the third time) Mrs. Clinton ignores the obdurate fact that several states gave women the vote before the 19th amendment was passed in 1920.
Including her mother’s native state of Illinois, which gave women suffrage in 1913, six years before Mrs. Rodham was born — in 1919.

Maybe Mrs. Rodham has been lying about her true age.
After all, lying does seem to run in that family.

I am shocked that you would pick on a VICTIM! What a cad you are.
It’s the thought that counts, donchaknow?

For a so-called feminist she has not a clue about true Women’s history and not much more about her own country’s history - she is still clinging to that 1st woman
nominatedrunning for President (I’ll even give her, her misperception - National Party) forgetting that the Republicans (those vile, evil backward people) already nominated a woman. Oops.Yes many states gave Women the vote before the national act passed - the first Woman to vote in ‘America’ was in 1756 - oh my!
And while it was a Democrat who was in office when it was passed - he stalled it and had the women arrested numerous times during WWI. . .
Not to mention my favorite dig at HRC’s feminism being married to a serial sex offender.
If that isn’t proof that the Dems are only about power - I don’t know what else would.

wardmama4,
Being a feminist to her means she has munched a rug.
Just ask her roommate for 4 years.

This is the dimmi modus operandi–”Never let the facts get in the way of a good story”.

Never let the facts get in the way of the story you want to tell. Should be the dimmi motto or perhaps the nyt or nbc credo.

Come on, now. Hillary didn’t say, “my mother was born before women in her state could vote”. She said “women”…it’s safe to assume she meant “women everywhere”. There’s no way one can logically draw the conclusion that she knows NOTHING about women’s history based on this misstatement. Whoever wrote this was really reaching. Try harder next time.

Er, it’s not the first time she has demonstrated her ignorance of women’s history.
See the related links, for starters.
And — try harder. We are used to a higher standard of trolls.

“So she got a date wrong. At least she knows what the Veep job entails, right?”
Who knows?
She thought being a first lady qualified her to be President.
