Desi Lydic Critiques Matt Schlapp's Sexist Remarks on Clinton and Harris

In a recent segment on "The Daily Show," correspondent Desi Lydic took aim at CPAC Chair Matt Schlapp for his derogatory comments regarding Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris. Lydic praised Clinton's impactful speech at the Democratic National Convention, stating, “She killed it,” while sarcastically adding that it would be deemed a “suicide” by critics. Schlapp, appearing on Newsmax, dismissed Clinton as “the most joyless person” and expressed dissatisfaction with her address. Lydic responded sharply to Schlapp's critique, questioning his authority to judge Clinton's demeanor. “C’mon,” she exclaimed, suggesting that his comments were outdated and irrelevant. She further criticized Schlapp for his contradictory remarks about Harris, who he accused of smiling too much. Lydic pointed out the absurdity of the situation, emphasizing that men like Schlapp should not dictate how women express themselves. Highlighting the double standards women face in political discourse, Lydic lamented that women are often criticized regardless of their behavior. She humorously suggested that the only solution might be to undergo surgery to silence critics like Schlapp. Her monologue underscored the ongoing challenges women encounter in the political arena, particularly from conservative figures who seem to impose contradictory expectations on female politicians. Lydic's remarks resonated with many viewers, reflecting broader frustrations with gender biases in political commentary.
