The panel on the Tuesday edition of Comedy Central’s The Nightly Show spent a large part of their segment decrying the criticism of Hillary Clinton as almost exclusively due to her being a woman and the need “to stop hating women...as a culture” with one panelist comparing her love of Clinton to their admiration for the Shakespeare character Lady Macbeth.

Nightly Show contributor Robin Thede started the parade of sexism charges by denying host Larry Wilmore’s question if it’s fair to ask Clinton about her honesty and instead declared that “you can disagree with things she's done politically, but we have to stop hating women — like, as a culture.”
