Democrats are all about women — well, when they can pander to them. The head of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, the campaign wing of Senate Democrats, Sen. Jon Tester was caught on tape Tuesday revealing his thoughts on two female candidates on the ballot.

Tester was asked by a reporter about his thoughts on who Hillary Clinton should select as her running mate — specifically Sen. Elizabeth Warren. “Well, I don’t know,” Tester said in audio posted by WNYC/PRI reporter Todd Zwillich, “Is the country ready for two women? I don’t know. You know? I don’t know.”

While Clinton continues to stake her campaign on being a trailblazer determined to break the glass ceiling in the White House, it seems as though some party leaders aren’t quite ready for two women on the presidential ticket.

“Chairman Tester appears to be living in 1916, not 2016,” said Amelia Chassé, press secretary for America Rising PAC. “By openly questioning whether America is ‘ready’ for women on the presidential ticket, he has completely undermined the Democratic Party’s cynical use of gender politics to drive a wedge among the electorate. Secretary Clinton and every Democrat Senate candidate who has received support from Chairman Tester’s DSCC will have to answer for his offensive statement. If they do not repudiate his rhetoric, they will expose the Democratic Party as the party of hypocrisy and double standards.”

Democrats often use the tired “war on women” playbook against Republicans, but it looks like they’re the ones weighing gender versus politics in their own party.
