'ABC News panelist Cokie Roberts cited sexism for Hillary Clinton’s poor polling on leadership questions during a Sunday appearance on This Week, saying that was “all about being a woman.”

Discussing potential vice-presidential picks for Clinton with the national convention less than a month away, Roberts said choosing Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) could pose problems for her candidacy.

“I think Elizabeth Warren is the real problem,” Roberts said. “Not only does she not need her in terms of the Democrats—Hillary Clinton in our last ABC poll had 88 percent of the Democratic vote. Barack Obama got 89 percent of the Democratic vote when he won in 2008. It’s fine. Having two women on the ticket is a real issue. We have looked at implicit bias, and you look at the polling where you see that Hillary Clinton is losing on leadership. That’s all about being a woman.”'

Maybe it's because she's a liar, liar, liar!
