A Multiple-Choice Quiz

Which of these is more condescending?

A) A political candidate from a single-parent family who grew up in difficult circumstances talks about the challenges facing rural communities, including the loss of jobs and broken promises from politicians, and notes that they've given up on the economy and vote on social issues; or...

B) Candidate A's opponent who, upon hearing those comments, presumes that said voters are too stupid and ignorant to understand Candidate A's intention or actual message and panders to said voters by pretending to come from a down-home background where she went hunting all the time, despite the obviousness of this biographical exaggeration.

Please state your answer in the form of a question, just for fun.
