In an outrageous ad aired on the local Washington D.C. NBC affiliate WRC-4, Virginia Democratic state senate candidate Jennifer Wexton – running to replace newly elected Virginia attorney general Mark Herring – made a shocking comparison between violent rapists that she once tried as a prosecutor to "Tea Party Republicans" in the Virginia legislature.
After describing women being assaulted and "traumatized again by facing the criminal in court," Wexton made this declaration: "...as a prosecutor I put violent offenders in prison. In the Virginia Senate, I'll fight just as hard against Tea Party Republicans who would take away a woman's health care and her right to choose, even in cases of rape and incest."
When will the media seize on this ad and bemoan the lack of civility in politics? Something they delight in doing when conservatives are the offenders.
In fact, when NBC political director Chuck Todd was recently confronted with Democrats' abortion fearmongering during the 2013 Virginia governor's race, he excused the party's increasingly over-the-top rhetoric: "What campaigns aren't about scaring some voters?"
It appears that Ms. Wexton took that to heart.
Here is a transcript of Wexton's campaign ad:
A woman assaulted at night by the reservoir. Another by an intruder who forced his way in through her bedroom window. And for so many, traumatized again by facing the criminal in court.I'm Jennifer Wexton and as a prosecutor I put violent offenders in prison. In the Virginia Senate, I'll fight just as hard against Tea Party Republicans who would take away a woman's health care and her right to choose, even in cases of rape and incest. On election day, help me stand up for her.
She rapes brain cells, that is for sure.
He should reply with if you like your Democrat, you can keep them.
Will she lash out at the Catholic Church next?
Outrage??? The media agrees.
This woman is counting on female voters to sympathize with her emotional message that characterizes the conservative’s opposition to legalized infanticide as akin to rape. That female rape victims do have to testify in trials of the man they accuse of raping them - especially when there were no witnesses - is obviously uncomfortable for them but necessary to a fair trial under our system of justice. For Jennifer Wexton, running for a seat in the Virginia senate, to infer that a rape victim testifying in the trial of the person she accuses of rape is somehow a terrible injustice and then clearly inferring, with little subtlety, that a TEA party candidate is akin to a rapist because they oppose abortion-on-demand is outrageous but will likely not be challenged outside of the state. This is what we’ve come to in the America of 2014 and most people are still oblivious to it.
People that do this stink.
Well, for what it’s worth, I’m outraged. Every time I see that I am amazed, angered and astonished!
This “woman” is an insufferable idiot. I’d compare her to pond scum...but I don’t want to insult pond scum.
Democrats and RINOs parole rapists.
