Oprah Reacts to T.I.’s Comments About A Woman President: Honey, hush your mouth.
As previously reported, T.I. apologized after making controversial comments about women in politics during his interview with Sirius XM’s DJ Whoo Kid.
The rapper/actor shared his views on why a woman doesn’t have the emotional capability to run for president, stating:
Not to be sexist but, I can’t vote for the leader of the free world to be a woman. Just because, every other position that exists, I think a woman could do well. But the president? It’s kinda like, I just know that women make rash decisions emotionally — they make very permanent, cemented decisions — and then later, it’s kind of like it didn’t happen, or they didn’t mean for it to happen. And I sure would hate to just set off a nuke. [Other leaders] will not be able to negotiate the right kinds of foreign policy; the world ain’t ready yet. I think you might be able to the Lochness Monster elected before you could [get a woman].
T.I. later tweeted an apology for his comments.
My comments about women running for president were unequivocally insensitive and wrong. I sincerely apologize to everyone I offended.
