“The Women’s March nucleus has been such a woman-led movement.”
“Sorry. I’m not attending a women’s convention where the opening night speaker isn’t a woman.”
The Conservative Reaction
As liberals expressed their outrage over Sanders’ speaking at the Women’s Convention, conservatives viewed it as ironic. Furthermore, they stated that events like the Women’s Convention tend to only include left wing women. Conservatives have also been highly critical of identity politics. The backlash Sanders’ received by progressives was viewed as an example of identity politics by many Republicans.
