Former Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) on Tuesday suggested that women don't actually care about issues like equal pay and contraception.

During an appearance on Fox News' "The Real Story," host Gretchen Carlson asked Brown about accusations made by his opponent in the New Hampshire Senate race, Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH).

"Your opponent, Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, she recently issued this statement on your record on women's issues. 'He doesn't stand up for women's reproductive rights and economic security. He co-sponsored legislation to deny women coverage for birth control or even mammograms. Had he two opportunities to vote for equal pay laws and both times voted no.' How do you respond to her claim?" Carlson asked.

"Well, unfortunately, I'm talking about issues that people care about," Brown responded.

2. Scott Brown is a fucking idiot

not mention being a carpetbagging piece of shit

[gratuitous]

3. Right as usual, Scott

Nobody cares about making a living or starting a family. Let's talk about those issues that people care about: How cool is Scott Brown's pickup truck? That's what people want to talk about!

4. Well, it's too bad

his folks didn't.

He is a total jerk.

6. Amazing and he has daughters.

I guess the RNC gives you an IQ test to run and if it's too high they won't back you as a candidate.

7. I truly hate that man, Don.

Clueless in Mass The Senate and now NH!

9. Scott Brown: "People don't care about issues that I am weak on"

Loser.

10. Maybe so

Maybe all the majority of voters care about are the number of Koch-sucking ads they see on TV. I hope not but it may be true. If so, kiss American Democracy goodbye.

13. Ugh. Is he trying to sound

... stupider each time he speaks?

If so, it seems to be working.
