It looks more nuanced to Anthea Butler, a religious studies professor at the University of Pennsylvania who writes about women and Christianity. To Butler, Sanders is "the classical evangelical woman," someone who has worked for men "and knows how she is supposed to behave as a support to men in power. She must back them at all costs, and not appear to disagree in public . . . I'm not saying you should discount her for what she has done, but if you look at her life, she has been at the seat of political evangelical power for a long time. She knows what's up."
