SAN FRANCISCO ― Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton held up reporter April Ryan and Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) as examples of how women face routine sexism in the workplace, arguing Tuesday afternoon that even women in the highest echelons of their fields face structural barriers to success. And during a segment on “Fox & Friends,” Fox commentator Bill O’Reilly mocked Waters’ hair. Clinton said both incidents reflected how women have to deal with “everyday sexism” in ways their male colleagues do not ― even if that sexism isn’t as overt as it once was. Appearing later Tuesday on MSNBC’s “All In With Chris Hayes,” Waters thanked Clinton for her remarks. “Let me thank Hillary Clinton for standing up for all women, in particular for black women,” she said.
