Democrats — including numerous Dem Party-aligned journalists — have spent all day smearing 2 Politico reporters as misogynistic because they had the sexist audacity to report on the very lucrative relationship between Janet Yellen & Wall St., the industry she’s about to regulate:

There are so many remarkably dumb and bad faith components to this accusation, beginning with their central claim — that only women (like Yellen & Hillary) have their Wall St largesse scrutinized when they’re about to assume large amounts of political power. Here’s 2 examples: 
What’s wrong with this misogyny accusation? Everything.
The most glaring and inexcusable: their smear relies on the assertion that only women get this kind of media scrutiny even though **the very same article** extensively scrutinizes the Wall St ties of Antony Blinken, a man.

How can they accduse 2 reporters of not examining Wall St. ties of powerful men when they did *exactly that*?
Because Dems are the Party of Wall St. They put people in charge of industries who have been enriched by them.
If you point it out, they’ll try to wreck your reputation

Anyone with the most minimal good faith would instantly see why it’s vital to know how Wall St. has purposely enriched those they know are likely soon to be regulating them. That’s why the Wall St payments of Larry Summers (a man) were always reported:

The Dems are a neoliberal party which serves Wall St & corporate power. They are overwhelmingly led by extremely rich people who serve these power centers.
Touting diversity is how they try to hide that, and bad faith bigotry accusations are how they punish those who report it.

If you’re embarrassed that your party just put in charge of the Treasury Dept someone who got wildly rich by collecting $250k checks from Wall St for 1 hour of “work,” then pressure your party to change.
Don’t exploit misogyny smears to try to deter reporters from revealing it.

Right on cue, the daughter of Nancy Pelosi — one of the richest members in Congress — smears reporters as misogynists for the crime of reporting on the obscene enrichment of Biden’s Treasury Secretary by Wall St right before she took that position.
This is the Democratic Party:

Saddened to see that Politico's misogyny has metastasized to NYT, now reporting on Janet Yellen's millions in speech fees "over the past two years from major corporations and Wall Street banks that have a keen interest in the financial policies she will oversee."
Do better, NYT.
Do better, NYT.
Like Politico, the same misogynistic NYT article also includes extensive scrutiny over the massive paydays received by Antony Blinken, a man, from corporations he'll be able to influence as Secretary of State.
But whatever.

When our Democratic Party leaders exit the revolving door, pick up millions in checks for an hour of work from the banks and companies they just gone done regulating, on their way back through the revolving door to regulate them again, we should applaud their money-making talent.
