Hillary Clinton Doubles Down on the 'Woman Card'
On the final night of the DNC, Clinton makes use of a powerful, earlier Philadelphia rallying cry.
At a victory rally in Philadelphia in April following the Pennsylvania primary, Hillary Clinton responded to Donald Trump’s accusation that she was playing the woman card with the emphatic remark, “If fighting for women’s health care and paid family leave and equal pay is playing the woman card, then deal me in!” At one point during her DNC acceptance speech Thursday night, Clinton delivered those exact same words and this morning, the punchline is the front-page headline chosen by a number of newspapers.
At the time Clinton originally fired back at Trump’s “woman card” belittling, Huffington Post women’s editor Alanna Vagianos praised Clinton not just for the remark but also for the candidate’s cheeky publishing of a woman’s card in the form of a credit card.
