Olivia Wilde Says People Who Attack Hillary Clinton Are Sexist — Bernie Sanders Defends Her Too

Actress Olivia Wilde believes that many people who attack Hillary Clinton are purely sexist. While many candidates are criticized for their policies, Wilde believes some go after Hillary Clinton just because she’s a woman.

In an interview with the Daily Beast, Olivia Wilde had only positive things to say about the presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton, claiming that her political record should matter more than how she looks or acts. And the biggest offenders, according to Olivia Wilde, are the Republicans.

“She’s an incredibly skilled debater and her intelligence and experience speaks for itself,” Olivia Wilde said. “That’s the thing about Hillary—when people stop scheming to take her down with b******t, her actual resume speaks for itself. Everything that’s happened so far in this election has just been ridiculous for the Republican Party, of course, and so illuminating in its transparency, and people are getting inspired by Bernie [Sanders] and inspired by Hillary, and that’s a great thing. People are engaged.”
