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.”

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. announced Tuesday that attorney and tech entrepreneur Nicole Shanahan will be his vice presidential running mate in the upcoming election. The Independent candidate announced his choice for the 38-year-old Oakland, California native by praising her insight into “how Big Tech uses AI to manipulate the public,” her athletic ability, and willingness to be a “partner” in a number of policy areas, including on securing the border.

Fox News writes that Shanahan is a philanthropist with a long history of donating to Democrat and left-leaning causes, including supporting President Biden in his 2020 election bid before switching to Kennedy when he launched his own run for the Democrat nomination last year.

She is the founder and president of Bia-Echo Foundation, a private firm that describes its mission as focused on “new frontiers in reproductive longevity & equality, criminal justice reform and a healthy & livable planet.”

Fox News reports Shanahan initially dropped her support for Kennedy after he decided to run as an independent, but later got behind him again by giving $4 million to the super PAC that boosted his candidacy with a John F. Kennedy-themed campaign ad that ran during the Super Bowl in February.

Shanahan also previously donated to Democrat presidential candidates Marianne Williamson and Pete Buttigieg during the 2020 presidential race, and threw more than $150,000 behind progressive Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon’s 2020 election bid.

Shanahan, a life-long Democrat, told the crowd that she was leaving the party.

“The Democratic Party is supposed to be the party of compassion. It is supposed to be the party of free speech, and most importantly, the party of the middle class and the American dream,” Shanahan said.

“While I know many Democrats still abide by those values…I do believe they’ve lost their way in their leadership,” she continued.

And she urged “disillusioned” Democrats and Republicans to support Kennedy’s independent White House bid.
