Sexist much? Biden blames 'conservative blonde woman' for shutdown, 'forgets' Ann Coulter's name

Obama-era vice-president Joe Biden is being called out for sexism after he referred to a radio host as a "conservative blonde woman," while blaming the media for hyping up President Donald Trump to go into the government shutdown.

"Republicans overwhelmingly voted to keep the government open," Biden, who has recently hinted at a potential 2020 bid, told CNN's Randi Kaye on Friday. "Then Rush Limbaugh and the conservative blonde woman says he's losing his base, and so he's changed his mind."

While Limbaugh got a mention by name, Biden referred to another conservative pundit, apparently the social and political commentator Ann Coulter, by describing her appearance instead. Coulter has been aggressively calling Trump out in front of her two million Twitter followers for failing to fulfill his most important campaign promise and build a border wall.

Biden's dismissive description of her did not go down well, drawing backlash not only from conservative commentators, but also from those who claimed to "like" Biden and disapprove of Coulter.

"I'm no Coulter fan, but that's just sexist," one commentator wrote.

Funny @JoeBiden names the man's name but not the woman, instead describing her. I'm no Coulter fan, but that's just sexist.

"Her awfulness doesn't give anyone a pass on being sexist," another chimed in.
