“She’s brilliant and she’s dedicated, she’s tough … She also happens to be, by far, the best looking attorney general,” Obama said at a Democratic National Committee luncheon in Atherton, Calif., Thursday. “It’s true! C’mon.”
S.E. Cupp, a conservative woman who co-hosts MSNBC’s The Cycle, called Obama’s remark “unsettling” in a Tweet.
Jonathan Chait of New York Magazine went further in a quick post on the publication’s Website.
“For those who don’t see a problem here, the degree to which women are judged by their appearance remains an important hurdle to gender equality in the workforce,” Chait wrote. “It’s not a compliment. And for a president who has become a cultural model for many of his supporters in so many other ways, the example he’s setting here is disgraceful.”
