Feminist icon Gloria Steinem mocks the Trump campaign for promoting pollster Kellyanne Conway to campaign manager, and says she cannot understand why Conway would accept the post.
“It’s like seeing an anti-Semitic candidate being managed by a Jewish person. It’s not heartening at all. I can’t imagine why she’s doing it,” Steinem tells Yahoo News.

The writer also tears into Trump himself, calling him “a bully,” and arguing that “he’s not a successful businessman.”
She continues: “He inherited his money. He calls Hillary cowardly and I think to myself, ‘Have you ever given birth?’
“It is unprecedented that we have had someone with so little experience, so little accuracy, so much bombast, such a bully.”
