Judd Legum is just as bright as the average legume, and he proved it by trying to gender and race-bait on CNN’s Jake Tapper today on the Twitters.
Featured guests on big 5 Sunday shows today (ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, CNN):
11 Men
1 Woman
— Judd Legum (@JuddLegum) July 5, 2015
While the rest of us were listening to the guests’ positions, Legum was obsessed with their genitalia.
Jake Tapper responded:
@JuddLegum we had two presidential candidates on. The woman running for the Democratic nomination hasn't sat down to do one Sunday show yet.
— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) July 5, 2015
Oh sure, Jake, blame the woman!! It’s no coincidence that Jake is a man and he’s defending the sexist patriarchy here.
@jaketapper If/when Hillary does your show, that won't solve the problem
— Judd Legum (@JuddLegum) July 5, 2015
@JuddLegum c) reducing Bernie Sanders as a guest to "just another white male" reinforces that think progress just a pro Clinton organization
— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) July 5, 2015
Oh and then he defends the old white guy! That’s raaacist, probably.
@jaketapper when did I say that? This is absurd
— Judd Legum (@JuddLegum) July 5, 2015
@JuddLegum he was one of my two guests today and you are classifying him as just another white male
— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) July 5, 2015
@jaketapper You somehow turned that into an argument specifically against Bernie Sanders which I think you know is ridiculous
— Judd Legum (@JuddLegum) July 5, 2015
@JuddLegum you brought up the guests on the Sunday shows today and gender diversity – the guests on SOTU are running for president
— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) July 5, 2015
@jaketapper congrats! Do you think Sunday Shows should make an effort to book more women as featured guests? Or is there no issue at all?
— Judd Legum (@JuddLegum) July 5, 2015
@JuddLegum I think that your diversity counts would be impacted if your chosen candidate Hillary Clinton did more interviews
— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) July 5, 2015
BOOM! LOL! I don’t know if Tapper intended this to be a slam, but it could definitely count as one, given how Hillary refuses to play ball with the media.
@owillis @JuddLegum my roundtable today was two men and two women
— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) July 5, 2015
@jaketapper My only point is that the Sunday Shows should consider booking more women as featured guests. Sorry if that offends you
— Judd Legum (@JuddLegum) July 5, 2015
@JuddLegum I think pretending as though the presidential field isn't the issue here versus guests is dishonest
— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) July 5, 2015
@jaketapper I think pretending this is only an issue during presidential election years is dishonest or intellectually lazy
— Judd Legum (@JuddLegum) July 5, 2015
@JuddLegum i've had the Sunday show for four weeks
— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) July 5, 2015
@jaketapper right, which is why my tweet did not mention you and WAS NOT ABOUT YOU
— Judd Legum (@JuddLegum) July 5, 2015
RAWR! This little kitten has claws!! LOL!
Who is to blame for the fact that there are so few women on Sunday shows, which are all hosted by men?
A woman! https://t.co/gK6pRAIvCD
— Judd Legum (@JuddLegum) July 5, 2015
Damn you patriarchy!!! You made Legum cry!! You big brutes, you!!
Even the “dumbest man with a modem” Oliver Willis broke in to offer his nuggets of stupidity”
@owillis @JuddLegum oh look MMFA now discouraging Sunday shows from booking Bernie
— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) July 5, 2015
@owillis @JuddLegum I can't help it if the entire Democratic field is white. Do I get points for interviewing Cruz, Carson and Rubio?
— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) July 5, 2015
@jaketapper @JuddLegum yeah, you're just gonna go ahead and be purposely obtuse on this i see.
— Oliver Willis (@owillis) July 5, 2015
Then he ran off to cry on his own:
I find this argument that woman are to blame for fact that here aren't more women on Sunday shows revealing https://t.co/H9R9lf4gqR

Awesome. This is why we love Twitter.
