Former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, in California as part of her 16-city book tour, said Monday that Senators Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren will need "a high pain threshold" if they run for president in 2020 because of the way women candidates are treated.
When asked if she were advising Harris or Warren on a run for president, Clinton said she would counsel that “you have to have a high pain threshold, because the double standard is alive and well...this is endemic to our political system, to business, to the media, to every part of society. So don’t be afraid to talk about it and take it on.”
“[J]ust be prepared...to have the most horrible things said about you,’’ Cllinton advised. According to how some websites described her, she explained, “I’m…the most amazing serial killer you ever met.”
“There’s a particular level of vitriol, from both the right and the left directed at women,’’ she said. “Make no mistake about that”
