While the early Wednesday morning portion of MSNBC’s Democratic National Convention (DNC) coverage wasn’t quite the spectacle it was from the day before, AM Joy host Joy Reid provided two noteworthy instances denouncing Hillary Clinton critics as sexist who complain about her not wearing skirts and predicted that she’s “going to teach us” a lesson about sexism by the end of the election. 

In her first diatribe about Clinton facing sexism (or just vaguely “gender” in Reid’s words), she told Hardball host Chris Matthews that “we haven't had a woman try to” become president “because I think that people react more negatively to a woman seeking power than a man seeking power.”
