CLEVELAND (The Borowitz Report)Tempers flared in the aftermath of Thursday nights Republican debate, as rival candidates accused the billionaire Donald Trump of failing to back up his misogynist slurs with concrete and workable anti-woman proposals.
Florida governor Jeb Bush and Wisconsin governor Scott Walker led the charge, as both of them asserted that Trumps sexist rhetoric paled in comparison with their own strong records of opposition to womens rights.
As governor of Florida, I defunded Planned Parenthood, Bush said. Donald Trump is good at creating misogynist sound bites, but Ive actually rolled up my sleeves and gotten things done.
Governor Walker piled on, touting his own anti-woman achievements during his time in office. In Wisconsin, I used my power as governor to repeal a law supporting equal pay for women, he said. No offense to Mr. Trump, but nothing on his résumé compares with that.
The attacks by Trumps rivals seemed to sting the hotheaded billionaire, who hit back hard on Friday. When it comes to coming up with solid anti-woman solutions, I do not intend to be lectured by Jeb Bush and Scott Walker, he said, noting that the wall he intends to build on the border with Mexico would keep out many women.

The MSM wants people to focus on Trump's words, while ignoring the destructive actual deeds of the others.

Trump is a sexist pig, for sure, but those other assholes have done much more actual damage to women's rights.

So true! The other candidates' actions have been so anti-woman and so much more damaging than Trump's sleazy comments.
