hillary clinton told a joke at the al smith dinner tonight. it’s a very simple joke. and these two CNN panelists have completely misunderstood it at every turn. it is making me so god damn angry.
the gist of the joke is “when i look at the statue of liberty, i see all the things that make our country great [blah blah blah.] when donald trump looks at the statue of liberty he sees a 4. maybe a 5 if she loses the torch and the tablet.”
and this fucking moron is saying that the joke is funny because the statue of liberty looks like the number 4.
which is not what that joke is saying at ALL.
her follow-up to this joke was:
“you know what i think a good number for a woman is? forty five”
(because if she’s elected, she will be the forty fifth president)
and this dipshit on CNN is chuckling like “yeah, i think forty five is a good age too”
When sexists don’t understand they’re the butt of the joke because they’ve never heard a joke at their expense imo
