[TW: Rape] Gay-baiting author tells Fox Radio: Hillary Clinton ‘overweight’ and ‘not looking good’
A controversial author, who once insinuated that Hillary Clinton was a lesbian, on Tuesday said that the current secretary of state wasn’t fit for another White House run because she was “looking overweight.”
“At this very moment that we’re speaking right now, Brian, [the Clintons] are already thinking seriously about running in 2016,” author Ed Klein told Fox News host Brian Kilmeade. “She’ll be 69 years old. And as you know — and I don’t want to sound anti-feminist here — but she’s not looking good these days. She’s looking overweight, and she’s looking very tired.”
“It looks like she’s not trying,” Kilmeade agreed.
“Yes, it does look that way,” Klein replied.
“I think she’s going to take some time off, get back into shape. And if her health holds out — that’s a big if, of course — if her health holds out, there’s no question in my mind she and Bill — two for the price of one — will run in 2016.”
Klein’s 2005 book The Truth About Hillary was blasted by critics for being “poorly researched, poorly written, poorly sourced.”
Among other things, the former editor of The New York Times Magazine suggested that Hillary Clinton was a lesbian and was raped by then-Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton (D) when they conceived their daughter Chelsea.
Was just thinking about this yesterday in context of 2008, too. You could be doing goddamn anything but if you’re a woman, prepare to be judged on your looks.
