Full Title: David Brooks on VA Dem Turmoil: "A Lot Of Male Bad Behavior, Maybe We Should Have Only Women Leading"

(New York Times columnist David) Brooks weighed in on the blackface controversy surrounding Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam (D) and Attorney General Mark Herring (D) and allegations of sexual assault against Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax (D). He called the Fairfax case the "most serious," but that we should not rush to conclusions without investigating first.

"Men turn out to be a problem. There's a lot of male bad behavior. Maybe we should have only women leading our states. That might solve these problems," Brooks said Friday on PBS NewsHour.

“”Men turn out to be a problem. There's a lot of male bad behavior. Maybe we should have only women leading our states. That might solve these problems,” Brooks said Friday on PBS NewsHour.”

This is a truly bad idea; at every level.

The damage he did to young boys who have the dream of growing up to become the State Abortion Director is incalculable.

Maybe he was joking. But he did it while in maleface so he needs to go. There is no place in America for this kind of comment.

Don’t forget the foreign women like Chancellor Merkel of Germany or Theresa May of Britain.

What an idiot statement to make. Imagine a country run by psychotic, neurotic, dummies like Mad Maxine, AOC, Nasty Pelosi, .... oh wait! It’s already bad as it is!

Go suck rocks, Brooks.
I’m losing women friends right and left because I tell them point blank that I only vote for men, had a terrible time at my first women’s lib meeting when it all started, and think they are full of it. One look at Occasional Cortex makes my point.

That wouldn’t change anything. They would still be politicians and, for some reason, a political career — unfortunately — doesn’t always attract the highest grade of human being. There are a number of women running for mayor of Chicago. Their campaign ads soothingly highlight their moral integrity and good judgment. They’ll stand up to the ee-vil Trump and the NRA! And doggone it, they care about the children and the downtrodden. It would be like electing your mom or a kindly aunt. Then we watched them scatter like cockroaches after the light is turned on when their highly-beneficial associations with disgraced and indicted aldermen became public.

Yeah lets hire all the female schoolteachers fuching their underage male students.

Lets install all the women who have literally murdered their own children through abortion.

Its such a bs argument only a pandering sap who wants us to believe women are saints and spotless has no shame in spouting it.

Women are worse than men. And unlike women, men are not a special protected class, they are easier to get rid of when necessary.

If we only had women leaders, we would inevitably end up with a majority of power hungry ‘women in white’. This would guarantee no more black face but only because they would murder every baby either in the womb or out of the womb. This would eliminate the possibility of them growing up and having a chance to wear a black face.

NO!!! Have you not been paying attention? Every insane judicial decision has been by a woman judge. It has gotten out of hand. Some sanity here would be nice.

After the latest election, seems to be where we are headed. Not going to agree this is the right direction

Hey - that’s an endless list - truly - it wouldn’t end...and just think - they just added a bunch more this last election. Aren’t we lucky? I’m a female but I don’t think women should ever have been given the right to vote - if not that stringent - at least one that said they couldn’t rule the rest of us - couldn’t run for public office. THEY ARE TROUBLE. Ask anyone who’s ever had one for a boss - no thanks. I worked for over 50 years and had two female bosses and both were trouble!!! Chip on the shoulder trouble!

I personally think the problems Brooks referred to is his private own demon.

In 2015, then 55-yr old Brooks divorced his wife and mother of his children and wed his former assistant who is 23-yrs younger than him.

Mrs. RWA does not like to work with women. They are easily offended and they NEVER forget. They gang up on other women they don't like and spread dirt on them. Women managers are even worse because they have the power to destroy.
