Bannon: Criticizing Mrs. Alito Is Like “Handmaid’s Tale”

“Are these progressive women, these feminists – are they saying we should have Handmaid’s Tale? Did they just say can’t you muzzle your own wife? I think that was the quote. What is going on? Are they that unhinged? Because Justice Alito’s wife, right, is now on my short list to be VP. She’s a hammer. She’s not Handmaid’s Tale. I don’t think you’re going to muzzle her. Did a feminist just say, hey, can’t you conservative justices muzzle your wives?” – Steve Bannon, on today’s podcast.

Bannon’s guest, Mark Paoletta, then accuses liberals of “racism and misogyny” for criticizing the wives of Alito and Thomas. Paoletta, a former Trump administration appointee, represented Ginni Thomas in her testimony before the House committee on the Capitol riot. He also supported Clarence Thomas during his 1991 Senate confirmation hearing and worked to vet Neil Gorsuch for Trump.
