A number of big-name women's groups are issuing warnings about the kinds of attacks they expect to be made against a woman running mate.
As Joe Biden nears a decision on his vice presidential running mate, women’s groups are mobilizing to proactively combat the kind of “isms” that negatively impact women running for political office.
Multiple leaders involved in the effort referenced the current conversations around Joe Biden's vice presidential short list to illustrate what they are trying to combat, though they are not coordinating with the Biden campaign. Story continuesOn MSNBC Sunday, former Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett — one of the signees on the letter — advised simply: “Deal with the substance. Don’t talk about what she looks like. ... Let’s stop describing us with words you wouldn’t use to describe a man.”“We’re not saying any attack on a woman is sexist. We’re not saying that any criticism of a woman is unfair,” Christina Reynolds, Vice President of Communications at Emily’s List, said.
Additionally, almost 700 Black women have co-signed an open letter decrying how some of those candidates for VP have been"disrespected in the media over the last few weeks.”
