Ladies of MSNBC blame ‘Republican women’ for ‘upholding the patriarchy’
The liberal blame game is not satisfied blaming the world’s malfeasance on White men, and has now specified even further, on Republican women. Over the weekend, MSNBC host Tiffany Cross and The Cross Connection guests blamed quite a lot on ladies of the GOP.
Specifically, the MSNBC guests accused Republican women of supporting the oppression of women through supporting the patriarchy. “Look, we do have to call out our sisters in this struggle who don’t always vote in alignment with the folks you see in the screen here” said Cross. “That is very frustrating” she added, in a segment discussing the 103rd anniversary of the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment by Congress. The women panelists Cross referred to were all minority females.
Alleged “civil rights leader” Carmen Perez-Jordan accused those who do not support expanding abortion rights beyond Roe v. Wade of upholding the patriarchy. “Well, I think we have to understand that patriarchy isn’t upheld only by men. Not one of the eight women who are the Republican members of Congress voted for the Women’s Health Protection Act.”
“And meanwhile there are male allies, we need to be in solidarity. We know the historical context of women having access to privilege through their husbands, sons, fathers” she added.
Cross aired a clip of political strategist Lucy Caldwell saying the following on her program on May 7:
A real problem is that Republican women are in this mode and specifically white women, where, in a way, they do benefit from the patriarchy, right? And so they are feeling or participating in the same kind of story of economic insecurity or, you know, a right or a privilege that they believe that their white husbands, and sons, and fathers, deserve is going to a person of color, right? So, they have a stake in the old paradigm that is harmful. They also, at the same time, it’s–it’s– good to be a white woman because white women benefit from the progress that Democrats have worked to assure for white women.
“I love her, the honesty in that answer” Perez-Jordan responded. “She says it is good to be a white woman.”

BREAKING: Senate votes down both articles of impeachment against Mayorkas in party-line vote
The Senate voted down two articles of impeachment Wednesday which alleged Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas engaged in the “willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law” regarding the southern border in his capacity as DHS secretary. The second claimed Mayorkas had breached public trust.
What resulted in a party-line vote, began with Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., proposing a point of order declaring the first article unconstitutional, to which the majority of senators agreed following several failed motions by Republicans. The article was deemed unconstitutional by a vote of 51-48, with Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, voting present.
Fox News reports:
Schumer’s point of order was proposed after his request for unanimous consent, which would have provided a set amount of time for debate among the senators, as well as votes on two GOP resolutions and a set amount of agreed upon points of order, was objected to by Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo.
Schmitt stated in his objection that the Senate should conduct a full trial into the impeachment articles against Mayorkas, rather than the debate and points of order suggested by Schumer’s unanimous consent request, which would be followed by a likely successful motion to dismiss the articles.
Republican senators took issue with Schumer’s point of order, as agreeing to it would effectively kill the first of the two articles. Several GOP lawmakers proposed motions, which took precedence over the point of order, to adjourn or table the point, among other things. But all GOP motions failed.
After another batch of motions to avoid voting on Schumer’s second point of order, which would deem the second article unconstitutional, the Senate agreed to it. The vote was along party lines 51-49, with Murkowski rejoining the Republicans.
