New York Times reporter Amy Chozick has a new book about Hillary Clinton’s campaign, and it reveals that some of Hillary’s male staffers weren’t so politically correct in private chats.
Chozick refers to a group of Clinton’s male press aides as “The Guys,” and writes that one made a joke about having sex with her.
“The Guys constantly mess with Chozick, magnifying her self-doubts,” The Washington Post reports. “‘I don’t care what you write because no one takes you seriously,’ Outsider Guy says.”
The Post also reports that at one point a male aide asked Chozick, “if there are any other Times reporters, preferably male, that they could talk to instead of her.” (RELATED: New Book Reveals That Hillary ‘Cut Off’ Pollsters Because They Kept Telling Her That Nobody Likes Her)
Finally, one of the aides made a random joke about sleeping with Chozick:
“The undercurrent of sexism spills over when Chozick and Original Guy spar over whether a prior conversation can go on the record, and he randomly paraphrases a crude line from ‘Thank You for Smoking,’ a 2005 film in which a reporter sleeps with a lobbyist for information. ‘I didn’t know I had to say it was off the record when I was inside you,’ Original Guy smirks. (‘The words hung there,’ Chozick recalls, ‘so grossly gynecological.’)”
