Representative Louie Gohmert (R-TX) is very upset with the women in his conference for supposedly scuttling the House abortion bill which would, once again, seek to define rape.
Gohmert says “Republican females” sent “the entirely wrong message” by not supporting the bill.
“I’m told that they’re still going to bring it back, but because there was such division among our Republican females, they pulled the bill that day,” he said. “And that was extremely unfortunate, and it sent the entirely wrong message.”
I believe there are appropriate moments to use the word “female,” such as when referring to an animal’s gender or the new team of Ghostbusters, but in this context it comes off as aloof and ignorant, as if he’s referring to a group of aliens.
We’ve come to expect nothing less from The Gohmert.
