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.”
ROTFLMAO!
How much for a quick filibuster?
Reminds me of high school.
She's a "storybook whore"
LOL!!!
"It's storybook!"
All the credentials one needs to be a Democrat...
Is this the same person who beat Bob B-1 Dornan in So Cal election with illegal Hispanic votes?????
I am confused. Need clarification, please.
But is she a "clean" whore?
Maybe it was all those instant text messages to all the female pages...
Well you *are* a whore,Loretta.Perhaps not according to the most common definition of the term...but you're most assuredly a political whore...willing to "spread your legs" for any Marxist group who might possibly contribute to your re-election fund.
I could be wrong but, Sanchez got her hispanic name through marraige and is no more hispanic than I am. She could be Irish?
The price just went up.
What's your definition of clean?
It has to be true, she wouldn't quit the hispanic caucus for no reason. She would not be in Congress if not for her last name.
why is this typical of Hispanic politicians? it is... i've seen it many times...
you are wrong
her maiden name is Sanchez
she dropped her married name when she ran for office
imagine how her hubbie felt about that!LOL
I'm sure he just misspoke, it was taken out of context or it was a joke...that's the excuse liberals give for every other offensive comment they make.
Unfair! Sanchez has never found anyone who would pay her.
