In 2016, Donald Trump was calling Hillary Clinton a "Nasty Woman" and it sparked an (extremely negative) national movement; now we have the "Impolite Arrogant Woman" courtesy of White House Chief of Staff John Kelly.
Buzzfeed News is reporting that, in a private email to Kevin Carroll, Kelly referred to Elizabeth Warren, the Democratic Senator from Massachusetts, as an "impolite, arrogant woman" while referring to a conversation he had with Warren about Trump's illegal Muslim travel ban.
He went on to write:
What an impolite arrogant woman. She immediately began insulting our people accusing them of not following the court order, insulting and abusive behavior towards those covered by the pause, blah blah blah.
Here is a copy of the exchange:
