Amazing how the GOP calls Democratic women hags, and call Republican hags women.

I predict that when the C-Bomb Event Horizon is crossed by a Republican in the course of Hillary’s campaign and presidency, it will be crossed by a woman.

That headline should read: Iowa Senate Hopeful “Appalled” that her Husband WAS QUOTED Calling Janet Napolitano a “Traitorous Skank”.
She is just fine with the quote, she is just pissed it got REPORTED.

Joni: I mean, ‘traitorous’? Really? I think ‘duplicitous’ is a much better word. I will have to have a talk with my idiotic fuckwad of a husband.

Her husband had these comments on his Facebook page since 2013 and she just now notices. She must not communicate with her husband on Facebook otherwise wouldn’t she have seen it before and asked him to take it down. Maybe Joni doesn’t have a Facebook account or own a computer or just doesn’t pay much attention to what her husband does. My own opinion is that she knew and just didn’t care until it became political.

Listen, Gail, don’t be too hard on yourself. Most people understand that guys named Gail tend to be overcompensating jaggovs. Next time, focus your deep seated anger towards your dear ol mum and not on brilliant, pioneering women. mmmkaaay? Gail?

I wonder if growing up with the name "Gail’ would make someone a litlte touchy about “skanks”
.Anyhow, I was curious as to context of Gail’s dislike of Napolitano and The Des Moines Register had more:

"And on April 19, 2013, Gail Ernst shared a photo of Janet Napolitano, then the secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, with the comment: “And am I suppose (sic) to give up my guns? As if! Traitorous skank!” "

"His comment accompanied a photo circulating on the Internet that had this caption: “There is a nationwide shortage of ammo because DHS has emptied the shelves, but when asked why her department is hording (sic) so much, her answer amounted to … I take the 5th.” "

Guns and paranoia.
I could have guessed.

I believe she knew, and as you said, didn’t care until it became political. GF has two FB pages, just checked, one for the campaign and another one that has obviously been around for a while. Soooo…
