CNN Pundit Sounds Off After Door-Knocking Local Candidate Makes 'Housewife' Comment Straight Out Of The 1950s

S.E. Cupp, a centrist Republican political commentator for CNN, has long been known for her lack of patience with some of her party's baser instincts.

So when a local Republican candidate knocked on her door with a "straight out of the 1950s" approach, calling her a "housewife" and requesting to speak to her husband, it was only a matter of time before Cupp made an example of him.


She took to Twitter and told the whole story, and while she was kind enough to not name him, she made sure to rake him over the coals and use him to teach other male politicians a lesson.

Cupp began her tweet thread by sharing the politician's opening salvo and... well, yikes.

She wrote:

"When you go door to door, campaigning for local office, don’t say to the woman who answers (me), 'Hello! Wow. You look so put together…for a housewife.' 🙄"

Cupp included a gif of Yoda telling Luke Skywalker, "That is why you fail," surely a reference to how right-wing politicians tend to fail at attracting younger voters and more educated women.

The conversation didn't get much better from there.

"Then he asked if my husband was home. Because of course he did. Little did he know I run this sh*t."

In the end, she got her revenge with a simple but perfect reply.

Cupp wrote:

"I told him my husband was unavailable, and I’d make sure he got his brochure just as soon as I asked him to take the trash out."
"Guess what was on top of the trash pile."

Cupp then wrapped up with some all-important advice for not just the "time traveler" who came to her door, but politicial candidates everywhere.

Cupp wrote:

"Bottom line: Women vote, too, you Neanderthals. When a woman answers the door, she’s your voter. Talk to HER..."
"...Stop looking past us. We are running it all."

On Twitter, people shared Cupp's disbelief at the candidate's outdated approach to a female voter.





We've heard of being stuck in the past, but this is ridiculous.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
