The political firebrand that is Al Sharpton spent a segment of his Sunday show, PoliticsNation, praising the Hillary Clinton/Elizabeth Warren combination and condemning anyone who thought otherwise. He even went so far as to accuse women on Fox News of being “anti-woman.” “Apparently just the site of two powerful outspoken women on stage together is enough to send the right into a tail spin,” he stated, before showing clips of female FNC personalities criticizing Clinton and Warren’s matching outfits.

“Did you see the matching pant suits? I mentioned the matching suits and the need for maybe a color wheel with these women,” teased Harris Falkner in one clip. Lisa Kennedy of Fox Business joke in another, “They’re Thelma and Louise at the end of the movie.”

Thelma and Louise? I mean, did you expect this kind of anti-woman backlash we're seeing with Clinton as the nominee,” asked a very serious Sharpton to Terry O’Neill, the President of the National Organization for Women.

O’Neill slammed the ladies of Fox News exclaiming, “I think that anti-woman backlash is to be expected from anti-woman conservatives.” She followed up her baseless attack by championing Clinton’s candidacy, “But they really are the dream team, right? Hillary Clinton is an unapologetic feminist progressive. And to have here in the White House would be absolutely amazing!

O’Neill soon turned her sights on the GOP as whole, saying the nomination and endorsements of Donald Trump proves the party is full of bigots. “That makes the entire Republican Party the party for racist, xenophobic, misogynistic policies. I don’t see how the Republican Party gets around that in any kind of way,” she said.
