Doug P. | 2:20 PM on October 12, 2017

Well, what could possibly go wrong after this announcement?

We are so excited to have @SenSanders join us at the #WomensConvention October 27-29th in Detroit! https://t.co/UssiTSe2IN

A lot of feminists and others are not feeling the Bern on that one:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA OMG
Of all weeks, you guys choose this week to announce a man as the Women's Convention, opening speaker? https://t.co/HfQbqaurEa

In a new twist for feminism, deemed "super-feminism," women will finally be able to sit down and let a man tell them what's important. https://t.co/xPhxdl5utm

Might just be me, but I'd have loved to see a woman keynote the Women's Convention. https://t.co/iwNrk8vG63

Reading this article is so disappointing. I was proud to march in January. Have never been so moved. This is a slap in the face.

Also amazing is that this Women's Conference the old grifty misogynist is headlining is in Detroit, Michigan, a city which is over 85% black. That's the demographic Bernie Sanders the least time or respect for. #FuckBernieSanders Hard Fucking Pass on all this shit. https://t.co/HaIWBIsOsA

THIS is some sexist bullsh@t.

What fresh bullshit is this? Couldn't find a woman to speak at the #WomensConvention? https://t.co/krDTsKMe7l

This is a slap in the face to every woman who had to hide her support for Hillary to feel safe from his misogynistic trolls. https://t.co/nGZ5T1ZWwi

This is really unfortunate.
Especially given Hillary was not invited to speak at the March.
What, were no women available to speak? Mistake! https://t.co/Zbg2wfnDLI

Also @womensmarch u must be out of touch? Bernie doesn’t stand for women. He stands for himself.
I’m pulling my local group from yours.BYE! https://t.co/fWpNkY3p85

‘GOODBYE terrorist scumbag.’ Women’s March weeps for murderer Rasmea Odeh being deported

BOTH were ANTI-free speech: Dem thinks comparing Boston protest to Women’s March was smart (ha!)

Who are the women who inspire you? Here are the ones the Women’s March isn’t retweeting
