“I think she should smile a lot more often,” Sanders told Chris Cuomo on CNN’s New Day when asked about the partisan lines in the Capitol. “I think the country would be better for it.”

While it’s abundantly clear that Sanders is no Gloria Steinem, it’s fair to say it’s a . . . unique display of sexism to hear her adopting the tactics of your local catcaller. How weird that Sanders chose to lob this tired insult at a female Democratic leader—and one who, like her or not, has been serving for almost as long as Sanders has been alive—instead of a male counterpart, like Sen. Chuck Schumer (also caught on camera looking less than thrilled with the president’s performance). It’s ironic, too, given Sanders’s own now infamous perma-grimace—but we’ve yet to hear White House reporters like Jim Acosta or April Ryan demanding she smile more. Nor should they: The right to resting bitch face is practically a new American ideal.
