Female Republicans 'horrified' by male GOP lawmaker's description of Cheney: report

[Demovictory9]

Three weeks after GOP Rep. Liz Cheney (Wyo.) said she would vote to impeach former President Trump, a barrage of her male colleagues lined up to criticize her during a conference meeting, The New York Times Magazine reported on Thursday.

Some of the remarks were decidedly sexist, and were shared among GOP women in political circles in Washington, D.C., the Times reported.

A remark from Rep. Mike Kelly (R-Pa.) in particular created waves.

Kelly reportedly equated Cheney voting to impeach Trump to a football game, telling the conference, “You look up into the stands and see your girlfriend on the opposition’s side — that’s one hell of a tough thing to swallow,” the Times reported.

“She’s not your girlfriend!” a female colleague reportedly yelled out in response, the story stated.

The Times reported that Kelly’s comment was immediately passed around circles of Republican women in professional Washington. Former GOP Rep. Barbara Comstock (Va.) told the Times she was “horrified” by the comment.

Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.), addressing Cheney as “Liz,” reportedly said that her “defiant attitude” bothered him, adding that she was not being a “team player.”

They gerrymandered to get in power, let all their inner filth be highlighted by 45, now suppress to stay in power--all to continue working for the super-rich. Hate them.

16. And WHY does this surprise any of the women? It is not as if this is new behavior on the part of

sexist, misogynist puke men.

17. These Republicants should watch their tongues in regard to Liz Cheney

I do not totally rule out that some of the bad karma coming down on Pedo Gaetz's head right now is due to the handiwork of Darth Cheney.
