Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton compared the Republican presidential field to “terrorist groups” where women’s issues are concerned while at a campaign stop on Thursday in Ohio.

The Washington Post reported that Clinton did not specify which terrorist group she was referencing.

“Extreme views about women? We expect that from some of the terrorist groups. We expect that from people who don’t want to live in the modern world,” Clinton said, according to the Post. “But it’s a little hard to take coming from Republicans who want to be the president of the United States.”

Clinton said the Republican candidates have “out of date and out of touch policies.”

    Republicans called their opponents terrorists for a whole decade after 9/11, and that was okay.

    One Democrat does it, and oh, the Outrage™!

  4. Gee, terrorist groups subjugate women. So does the GOP.

    Why should the similarity surprise anyone?

  5. Good for her. Time to turn the tables on these clowns.
