Donald Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway suggested that Tim Kaine displayed sexist behavior Tuesday night by repeatedly interrupting vice presidential debate moderator Elaine Quijano.
“The interruption and frankly the ignoring of the female moderator was really a low point throughout the debate,” said Conway on Fox News Wednesday morning following last night’s debate. She tweeted out a similar complaint during the debate, which she ended with the hashtag “sexist.”
“I love using that word,” she added. “It’s the word that the Left and the Democrats and Hillary Clinton folks love to employ against everyone who doesn’t support her. If you don’t support Hillary Clinton, you’re a sexist. So why in the world was her running mate interrupting and ignoring the female moderator, an Asian-American female moderator by the way, completely?”
Clinton’s running mate interrupted Filipino-American CBS News reporter Quijano an estimated 27 times during the Longwood University debate. But Clinton and her campaign have said it’s Trump who has shown sexist behavior.
Last week, Clinton blasted Trump for criticizing a Miss Universe pageant winner for gaining weight, and Trump spent a few days defending his position.
