#THREAD on @MichelleObama's "any woman who didn't vote for @HillaryClinton voted against their own voice" comment.

#StillWithHer
2. People like @TomiLahren @secupp & @JudgeJeanine have seized on the comment, calling it sexist...
3. Despite their defense of @realDonaldTrump's "you have to treat women like shit" & pussy grabbing" comments (@secupp not included in that)
4. It's an intellectually dishonest argument they're making. Conservative women (& annoying liberals) like to say "I don't vote w my vagina"
5. "Hillary's entire campaign was 'vote for me because I'm a woman'" is another favorite of theirs despite it being laughably false.
6. Hillary has said something similar to Michelle Obama's comment, and they're both right.
7. Neither of them are saying that all women should've voted for Hillary because she's a woman...
8. Hillary actually said she believes a woman will be president in her lifetime and she hopes she agrees with her so she can support her.
9. They're saying that voting FOR Donald Trump was against women's interests and against their own voice. It was.
10. I'm gay. If @HillaryClinton had been on record saying "you have to treat gay people like shit" or treated gays like 2nd class citizens..
11. ...I could not have voted for her. I wouldn't vote for Trump, but I couldn't support Hillary either. It would be against my own voice.
12. Being a woman & casting a vote for someone with obvious disrespect for women over a woman who's fought for women's rights for a lifetime
13. ...Would be like me casting a vote for gay-conversion-therapy-supporter Mike Pence in an election against Harvey Milk.
14. I wouldn't do it.

I couldn't do it.

And I would believe that gay people who did had ignorantly voted against their own voices.
15. And I would be right.

These people are intentionally misrepresenting Hillary and Michelle's comments to feed into their narrative. Stop
