Scarlett Johansson has accused the press of "unbelievable sexism" towards Hillary Clinton.
The actress used her appearance in the latest edition of U.S. Cosmo Girl to promote her political views, lambasting the media over its treatment of the New York senator, the first woman in history to have a chance at running for America's president. Clinton lost her campaign to become the Democratic candidate for presidency in June, with Barack Obama chosen to battle Republican John MCCain for the White House race.
And Johansson was stunned by the treatment Clinton received from political pundits. She tell the publication, "We still live in a country that's sexist and racist. Those are issues that we deal with whether we want to ignore it or not. Seeing how the media portrayed Hillary with unbelievable sexism, some of the things that people were saying were just so overwhelming. You just couldn't believe the names that they were calling her!"
But Johansson believes American culture will soon change - because she met so many politicised young people on a tour of U.S. colleges.
