“She looked, I think, for the most part, she looked composed, smug sometimes, not necessarily attractive."
Many deemed Hume’s comment on Clinton’s attractiveness unnecessary and sexist, especially in a presidential debate.
@brithume I am so glad you called Clinton out on not looking attractive. It is, of course, the #1 thing I look for when choosing a President

Hey @FoxNews, you gonna post an apology for claiming that Hillary Clinton didn’t "necessarily look attractive”?

Boo they had a commentator critique Clinton as “not necessarily attractive”
Like how is that even an option for a critique?? https://t.co/AnBBvhiHAL— Jaymes Vaughan (@JaymesV) September 27, 2016

Brit Hume says Hillary Clinton looked smug and not always attractive - what kind of description is that of the Dem nominee for president?

Because it’s so important that Ms Clinton looks attractive, right? @CatherineDeveny https://t.co/pl4n4uWUPS

“Trump’s a liar, completely inexperienced and has no idea what he’s talking about!”
“But is Clinton attractive enough?”#debatenight pic.twitter.com/MNvP1pbQRF— Fulci Girl (@Fulcigirl) September 27, 2016
Brit Hume apparently rates women the same way that Trump does. https://t.co/bF3rWltPKn
