Or any candidate. Use a homophobic/misogynistic slur:
North Carolina Gov. Mike Easley formally endorsed Hillary Clinton's White House bid Tuesday, saying the New York senator "gets it.""Pansy" is one of the many, many homophobic slurs that is infused with a heavy dose of misogyny—because it's generally used to mean not just any gay man, but specifically an effeminate gay man. Ya know, because being anything like a woman is the worst possible thing a man can be.
…Easley, a popular two term governor who is unable to run for re-election because of term limits, also praised Clinton for her persistence. "I've been accused of being persistent, and down right aggravating…but this lady right here makes Rocky Balboa look like a pansy," Easley said.
So while casually insulting gay men, Easley also managed to insult women, all in the process of trying to praise Hillary Clinton's fortitude.
Oh, the irony.
