California Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez has quit the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, accusing its chairman, fellow Democrat Joe Baca, of calling her a "whore.”
Sanchez was insulted when she found out that Baca had made the disparaging remark about her to California Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez and other lawmakers last year, Rep. Sanchez told The Politico.
Nunez "is a friend of mine,” an angry Sanchez said. "Did he think he wouldn’t tell me?”
Sanchez also cited concerns regarding the legality of Baca’s election to the chairman post in November, and about his attitude toward female legislators.
Earlier this month, four female lawmakers called on Baca to hold a new election for the chairmanship, saying the November vote did not use secret ballots, as required in the group’s bylaws. "I’m not going to be part of the [Caucus] as long as Mr. Baca illegally holds the chair,” Sanchez told the Politico.
"There’s a big rift here. You treat the women like s***. I have no use for him.”
Baca denied making the comment. He told The Politico that Sanchez "has decided to resign from the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, and has chosen to air baseless statements. Let me be clear – her comments are categorically untrue.”
If the shoe fits...
I heard this is a correct description of her.
Calm down, whore.
It's actually an accurate description of most of Congress. Almost all will sell themselves for a price.
Whores throughout SoCal are demanding an apology from Congressman Baca after being associated with Congresswhore Sanchez.
Shoe meet foot.
Ooooh!! All this fighting amongst themselves already. And they thought they were above it all. LOL, power corrupts anyone, not just Republicans, and now the Democrats are learning that lesson firsthand.
That's nice.
With her choice of wording it's suitable she said "women" instead of "ladies."
I agree that it was inappropriate. 'Assistant Crack Whore' would be a more fitting title.
Democrat crack-up on aisle 110.
Wow, talk about the pot calling the kettle "Black!"

Gosh I am sure he would love to chime in.....
"...Congressional Hispanic Caucus..."
What's next, the Congressional Homosexual Caucus? I wish someone would form the Congressional White Caucus. But that can't be done. It would be called racist. Since Steve Cohen of Tennessee was rejected for membership in the Congressional Black Caucus, he should start the Congressional White Caucus just to balance things out. Never will happen, though. Come on guys, can't we all just get along?
Pot, meet kettle.

If the kneepads fit....
I'm sure Baca made the comment, but it reflects standard liberal thinking, so what is Sanchez upset about? She chose to ride that side of the aisle for her own political benefit and as I recall, her first election was under questionable circumstances, so who is she to complain?
