Huma Abedin Becomes a Liability

It is well-known that Huma Abedin, wife of weird sexter Anthony Weiner, is tight with Hillary Clinton. See what the New York Post reports about Abedin's earlier career.

Hillary Clinton’s top campaign aide, and the woman who might be the future White House chief of staff to the first female US president, for a decade edited a radical Muslim publication that opposed women’s rights and blamed the US for 9/11.

Top aide Huma Abedin published articles in a Saudi journal taking Clinton’s feminist platform apart, piece by piece. At the time, Abedin was assistant editor of the Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs working under her mother, who remains editor-in-chief. She was also working in the White House as an intern for then-First Lady Clinton.

The Post quotes Abedin's mother writing the following in that journal:

‘Empowerment’ of women does more harm than benefit the cause of women or their relations with men. By placing women in the ‘care and protection’ of men and by making women responsible for those under her charge, Islamic values generate a sense of compassion in human and family relations.

Imagine what feminists, who support Clinton, must think of those views. "Sulfurous" would, I believe, describe their reaction.

Abedin, like Paul Manafort, has become a campaign liability. The usual fate of liabilities is to be metaphorically thrown under the bus.

The other DrC notes that, in the case of the Clintons, human liabilities often die violently - nothing metaphorical about it. Hat tip to Power Line for the link.
