I had hoped that as more women entered politics and ran for office that civility and good judgment would be elevated. I conceded that the behavior and decision making of many men in politics and governance were often disgraceful, uncivil, selfish and not good for the interests of the American people.

I am disappointed in women in politics. There are too many mediocre women in government and the media who behave and perform as the worst men currently in office or who have influence.

In 2008, Sarah Palin was nominated as the Republican candidate for Vice President. She was not fully vetted to see if she was capable of performing the job. As the campaign proved and as time has gone by, she did not possess the knowledge, experience, judgment, maturity and leadership skills to run for a national office. She was the proverbial “empty suit” or more apt, “empty dress.”

As bad as Sarah was, we currently have a cadre of women politicians and political influencers who exhibit bad judgment (personal and political), “deer in the headlights” looks when confronted with tough questions and express nonsensical viewpoints on important issues. The poor behavior and opinions of these women are often more cringeworthy than those of their male counterparts like Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Tucker Carlson, Tommy Tuberville, Tim Scott and Lindsay Graham to name a few.

Shown below are my list of women who are disappointing in not elevating the interests of women specifically and those of the citizens of the U.S. generally.

Lauren Boebert

Nancy Mace

Marjorie Taylor Greene

Megyn Kelley

Katie Britt

Sarah Huckabee Sanders

Kristi Noem

Laura Ingraham

Kay Ivey

Tomi Lahren

Marsha Blackburn

Kari Lake

P.S. Yes, I know all these women are Republicans. There is also a list of Democratic women who could make this list but their influence pales considerably to their Republican counterparts.
