House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Thursday weighed in on a male GOP member of her House and his reportedly aggressive confrontation of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY): “women will be treated with respect.”
Nothing is more wholesome for our government, for our politics, for our country, than the increased participation of women. And women will be treated with respect.”
But the patriarchy!
to offer a diluted semblance of an apology
Not sure what they are putting in the water at TPM these days, but I’d like to send a case to all my other Generals.
What part of Yoho’s original remarks didn’t anyone understand?
What part of his apology did anyone understand?
Exactly how should one construe being called a “f*cking bitch”?
accompanied by Rep. Roger Williams (R-TX), saying the words “fucking bitch.”
Williams is another true Southern Gentleman, he is one of the richest members of Congress, and he became so the good old way, by inheritance…
“Yoho appeared on the House floor Wednesday to offer a diluted semblance of an apology…”
It was so diluted, it qualified as history’s first recorded instance of a “homeopathic apology”.
“Nothing is more wholesome for our government, for our politics, for our country, than the increased participation of women. And women will be treated with respect.” Period. End of discussion.
Homeopathic apology. Dad, you win the intertoobs for 23 July 2020.
Yoho… is he married?
If so I would hope for banishment not just to “there couch” but from his house entirely.
Edit
Forgive my crappy spelling. My laptop is down for the count and I am limited to a very cranky tablet that does not like my male sized fingers.
I agree
I’m going to predict Yahoo Yoho’s next version of an apology:
If you listened to AOC’s speech, you would know he is married with 2 daughters
As a man, I say . . . .screw the patriarchy!
Can’t say I have ever thought patriarchal power came to much good.
Redstate in a nutshell, They think he is a pussy for his apology
Zoe’s a great addition to the TPM staff of brilliant writers.
Has Willaims denied that that Yahoo called Representative Cortez a “fucking bitch” as the GOPer himself has done?
Maybe without balls, limp or impotent would be better words/phrases than pussy. Just sayin’.
Here’s the objective situation:
Donald Trump, the Trump Republican Party and Trumpism are the largest motivators for women’s stronger political involvement in decades, especially in light of the fact that their involvement promises more constructive policies.
RedState is not in favor of those policies.
