Between Donald Trump’s foreign policy speech and Senator Ted Cruz announcing Carly Fiorina as his running mate Wednesday was a crazy day in American politics. But even with all of that going on ABC and NBC spent precious time during their evening news programs defending Hillary Clinton from Trump’s comments about her playing the “woman card.” “You don't have to be a Hillary Clinton supporter to think there's a sexist undertone to what he's saying,” said Washington Post’s Ruth Marcus on NBC’s Nightly News.
ABC reporter Tom Llamas touted how many women view the GOP front-runner unfavorably on World News Tonight, noting that the rating was at 69 percent. Llamas also played up the recent knocks on Trump from Amal Clooney where she said, “If at the end of all of this, he gets beaten by the person who becomes the first female president of the United States, then I think that would send a very positive message.” Amal Clooney is the wife Clinton mega-fundraiser George Clooney.
