Democrats accuse Democrats of sexism

After the Democrats’ walloping in the midterm elections, the party went looking for a scapegoat — and they found one in Senior White House Advisor Valerie Jarrett.

But as soon as Jarrett began taking the blame for dysfunction in the Obama administration, her supporters started claiming the situation was due to sexism.

The thing is, the ones blaming Jarrett were Democrats, so essentially, Democrats have been blaming other Democrats of sexism. Interesting way to keep the “war on women” narrative alive.

The original article blaming Jarrett for the midterm upset came from Politico’s Carol Felsenthal, who reported how Obama’s advisers in the West Wing have been urging him to sideline Jarrett since the beginning of his presidency. She specifically noted former White House Chief of Staff and current Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s distaste for Jarrett. Emanuel believed Jarrett was trouble, that she “undermined” him and would overshadow him.
