Republican women leaders Wednesday leapt to the defense of under fire vice-presidential pick Sarah Palin, saying she had been the victim of unfair and sexist attacks.
They charged that Palin, a 44-year-old mother of five named as Senator John McCain’s wildcard running mate, faced the same dilemma as ex-first lady Hillary Clinton in her failed bid to become Democratic presidential candidate.
“I have been told by many, many Democrats over the last several months how disappointed they were in their own party for not standing up against the sexist smears that Hillary Clinton endured,” said Carly Fiorina, former boss of computer-making giant Hewlett-Packard.
“The Republican party will not stand by while Sarah Palin is subjected to sexist attacks … and as women, I think all of us are sensitized and outraged when we see sexist treatment,” she told a press conference on the sidelines of the Republican convention in St Paul, Minnesota.
The quality of the video and sound are not all that good, sorry, but it was the best i could find.
I have to give the Republican women credit, they have the courage that the Democratic women do not.
