Sanders Says Clinton Has 'Just a Tinge of Arrogance'

[caquillo]

Isn't this just flat out misogyny, hidden behind the 'just a tinge' qualifier? Like, "How DARE that woman..." It's the language of a coward.

Bernie Sanders on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" Thursday night said that Hillary Clinton has a "tinge of arrogance" for saying she will be the Democratic presumptive nominee.

Kimmel played a clip of a recent Clinton interview in which she said, "I will be the nominee ... there is no way I won't be."

Asked if that makes Sanders mad, the Vermont senator responded, "just a tinge of arrogance there, I think."

"I kind of think on June 7, the people of California will have a message for Secretary Clinton," Sanders added.

1. Yep, just like the 3 million more that have spoken for Hillary than your people have spoken.

Odd thing is, she doesn't even need to win CA. After the NJ polls close on the same day, she will have enough delegates.

[trueblue2007]

23. Bernie is a BITTER, angry old man.

[George II]

2. And Hillary Clinton was just a tinge correct when she said that.

[pandr32]

12. Yep!

[WhiteTara]

3. BS has a boatload of arrogance.

[Skinner]

4. To be fair, that's not a question where he can give a straight answer.

He can't say "I agree with Hillary, she is going to be the nominee."

I think it might have been better if he called her comment "presumptuous" rather than "arrogant." But given the question I don't think the answer is inappropriate. To his credit he goes on to clearly explain that he is trailing her.

[liberal N proud]

5. He could but that would be the signal that his campaign is ending

[DURHAM D]

19. Perhaps women hear it differently than you do. nt

[NastyRiffraff]

33. There are many ways of making his point

rather than saying she's "a touch arrogant." Women have heard those EXACT words many times in and out of the workplace. it's a dog whistle that's used by men who stop themselves actually saying "bitchy" or "shrill." As a man, Skinner, you can't see it, but women certainly can.

[Cha]

43. Mahalo, Riff.. I remember sanders calling her "arrogant" before.. not the first time

his wife too.. it's their go-to word for her.

I'll post to you what I said to Skinner..

".. he could have said "presumptuous" but he didn't.

The Problem with sanders calling her "arrogant" is .. . Hillary can do the math.. he won't.

Of course Hillary is going to be straight up with her supporters that she will be the nominee.. sanders is not straight up with his.. such a huge difference."

Thank you for your post.. I know the BS campaign uses those words to marginalize, deprecate and demean Hillary.

He's demonized her to his fans.. is it any wonder so many hate her?

[Cha]

42. BS has called her "arrogant" before this latest one.. he could have said "presumptuous"

but he didn't.

The Problem with sanders calling her "arrogant" is .. . Hillary can do the math.. he won't.

Of course Hillary is going to be straight up with her supporters that she will be the nominee.. sanders is not straight up with his.. such a huge difference.

[Her Sister]

6. Yeah HRC needs to be more deferential to BS! We demand so!

Who does she think she is! BS' feelings! Feelings!!! Feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelings!

[Cha]

44. Exactly, HS.. how dare Hillary be straight up with her supporters.. If she can't

be deferential to him and go with his story then she's "arrogant".

Not the first time he's called her that.. He does everything to marginalize, demean, and deprecate her.. he demonizes her to his fans.. It's no wonder they hate her.

[TwilightZone]

7. I don't think it's necessarily misogyny. It's clearly projection.

He tells his supporters that they're going to win all the time. How exactly is that different, again?

I suppose that one could be pedantic and say "going to" and "already have" are two different things. In reality, in this particular instance, they're the same thing.

[Cha]

45. It's totally projection. When my sister in California first saw

Sanders on those Sunday shows.. I asked her what her impression was.. she said "arrogant" and egotistical".

I "yes" you got that right.

[BootinUp]

8. Keep it up Bernie with that clean campaign on the issues. nt

[Shemp Howard]

9. I don't fault either person here at all.

Hillary is the front-runner. So she clearly has the right to assert that she will be the nominee, especially at this late date.

But the primary is not over yet. So Bernie clearly has the right to criticize his opponent, and use rather harsh terms in doing so. That's politics.

Personally, I wish Bernie would have said "that's a bit presumptuous" instead of saying that "tinge of arrogance" thing. But again, that's politics. What's important is what Bernie says after (or, if) Hillary officially gets the nomination. Words will really matter then.

[Cha]

46. This is Hillary's Group for Hillary supporters. You can discuss

how you don't think this is over yet in your own group or in gdp.

We have one place for Hill supporters and this is it.

[HillareeeHillaraah]

10. Taken in context with every other criticism he's had about her

It's hard not to call it misogyny.

She's strong.
She's confident.
She's got opinions.

Of course he calls it arrogant. Yet another illustration of just how off his judgement is.

[LisaM]

11. I don't understand how he could have been on Jimmy Kimmel AND "The View"

I thought there was a media blackout of Bernie! We are constantly told that there is.

[jmowreader]

17. You can do anything with enough makeup

They brought Hillary in at 10 am and five top Hollywood special effects makeup artists spent eight arduous hours transforming her into an exact likeness of Bernie Sanders. The hardest part was teaching a nice Southern lady to impersonate Bernie's "nice Jewish boy from Brooklyn who's eaten too many blini" accent Bernie has, but they managed.

[jmowreader]

13. I think the people of CA will have a message for her on 6-7

Unfortunately for Bernie, the message will be "we want you, Madame Secretary!"

[Koinos]

29. His prediction will come true, but not the way he thought it would.

"I kind of think on June 7, the people of California will have a message for Secretary Clinton," Sanders added.

It reminds me of the predictions of the Delphic Oracle, that could be taken in at least two ways. People who flattered themselves only saw outcomes favorable to themselves.

[DemonGoddess]

14. In point of fact, as we've all seen

with the whining about losing closed primaries, the whining about losing CLOSE primaries, and then the crowing over winning caucuses, the arrogant one is Sanders.

[lunamagica]

15. Hillary is not the one who talks about herself in the third person

[Koinos]

27. When do you suppose he will start using the "papal we"?

[lunamagica]

38. He already does! You know how he goes "when we started we at three percent" and such

And there's his "Bernie Sanders thinks" Bernie "Sanders wants to do this"

YUUUUGE ego

[Koinos]

39. Pretty sad. He should be better than this.

[mcar]

37. But she says "I" a lot

Argle bargle.

[Arkansas Granny]

16. If there's anyone who would recognize arrogance, it would be Bernie.

Just look in the mirror, Senator.

[geek tragedy]

18. the High Sparrow calling someone else arrogant, funny that nt

[Haveadream]

20. When you look up the word "projection" in the dictionary

There is a picture of Bernie with his "tinge of arrogance" remark about Hillary

[Koinos]

21. It appears to me that Bernie has a bit more than just a tinge of arrogance.

Humility and self-knowledge are traits well worth acquiring. They lead to wisdom.

Bernie needs to learn that.

[Haveadream]

22. Yes, you are right!

Also, I love your quote:

Humility and self-knowledge are traits well worth acquiring. They lead to wisdom.

[BlueMTexpat]

24. Considering the source, it is

MISOGYNY personified.

[peggysue2]

25. Projecting much?

I don't know what has happened of late with St Bernard but he's become an absolute snit. Hillary demonstrates a 'tinge of arrogance' for simply stating the facts. While The Bernie continues to delude his supporters with promises of victory when the path to victory is nada. He's become a disrespectful crank. His return to the Senate should be awkward. And frankly, he deserves it. These latest stunts--debating Trump & the injunction in California--are sour grapes on speed dial.

I said earlier that we would ultimately see what Bernie Sanders was truly made of at the end of the road. We're seeing it now. It's not pretty.

[Koinos]

26. Like wine when it turns to vinegar.

We are getting a taste of the vinegar Bernie.

[okasha]

35. I agree with every word of your post,

except that you misspelled "shit."

[grossproffit]

28. When this is over, BS should hit the road as a comedian.

[desmiller]

30. I wouldn't go as far as claiming misogyny when a male calling a female arrogant because..

a man can be called arrogant as well. It works in both sides of the sex boundary. Sanders just speaking his mind about his opponent - that's politics. If Hillary was born a man with the same mindset, Sanders will say the same thing about the male version. But when it comes to being misogynous, Trump takes it hands down.

[6chars]

31. jealous much?

not classy.

[Rose Siding]

32. Uppity woman. But it *not* arrogant for him to say CA will have a message?

-favoring him, is his meaning, right, but that's not arrogant because reasons. ugh

[mcar]

36. I've heard she's ambitious too

[Koinos]

40. I certainly hope so.

[BootinUp]

Bernie could have simply disputed her view, there was no damn reason to smear her character. I have not heard Clinton say anything like that about Sen. Sanders.

[Cha]

47. Bernie could have simply disputed her view, there was no damn reason to smear her character. I have

not heard Clinton say anything like that about Sen. Sanders."

Well, that wouldn't have been sanders saying it then.. that's all he does is insult her character.. he's demonized her to his fans.. no wonder they hate her so much.

Thank you for the definition.. that's exactly what's he conveying.. it's not the first time he's called her "arrogant", either.

He's all about projecting personal attacks.
