Ann Romney blasts Democrat for sexist slur
CNN ^ | 10/28/14 | Peter Hamby

Posted on 10/28/2014 9:20:14 PM PDT by Impala64ssa

Ann Romney, the wife of former GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney, condemned South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley's Democratic challenger after he mistakenly called her a "whore" — and then chuckled. "When I first heard about it, it hit me right in my gut," Romney said in a Monday phone interview with CNN. "My nerve endings went haywire. It's so upsetting when you know someone can say something like that about a woman, and not have any kind of reaction. It's so unacceptable. Nikki is a great girl and has been a great governor." The Democrat, Vincent Sheheen, made the comment at a campaign event late last week in Florence. In the midst of attacking Haley's education record, Sheheen stumbled over his words and told the crowd, "We are going to escort whore out the door." The slip-of-the-tongue was clearly accidental, and Sheheen immediately corrected himself, saying, "We're going to escort her out the door." But when some in the audience picked up on the verbal faux pas and started applauding, Sheheen grinned and laughed along with people in the crowd. Video of the event went viral. Sheheen apologized for the moment in a radio interview on Monday. "But if anybody heard, and certainly my words were garbled ... I apologize because I don't want to send that message to anybody," he said, according to The State newspaper. Haley leads Sheheen by double digits in recent polling and is expected to win a second term next week. Romney, who came to know Haley during the 2012 presidential campaign when she was one of the Mitt Romney's top GOP supporters, said she spoke to the governor by phone about the flare-up.

Nikki Haley was accused of infidelity during her first election campaign. It was just before Election Day, I believe. And as I recall, there were establishment republicans allegedly involved in the smear — she wasn’t exactly the establishment’s first choice.

So, I’m assuming that slur is a throwback reference to that smear campaign.

Sheheen is not fit for any public office. He was trying to say on another interview, that it was an accident. Yeah..right. The worse part not only will he get away with saying this but his democratic crowd laughed it up as he said it and that sticks as a mental picture or note of such rudeness and hatefulness by him and his party followers.

Yup. The true “War on Women” is waged by the Democrats. Funny how I heard nothing of this over the past few days.

Then again, given the fact that the mainstream media is run by liberal misogynists, I guess it's not that surprising.

He’s a liberal. He meant what he said, he got caught, he made a fake apology. So we should all just move on, right?

If this were a Republican the media would be blasting him for the sexist slur and it would be a lead story on all major networks to connect every Republican candidate in the country to the remarks. Instead they just report that Ann Romney has blasted it as though it’s just a comment she made about what someone else said and not a fact.

The only way he would have accidentally said “whore” is if he’s used to speaking that way in private.

Yep. All part of the “war on women.”

The “outrage” is overwhelming

Constant coverage on all the big networks

Almost as much as Rush calling Fluke a slut

Yes, he laughed and pointed at the audience as if to say: “Yeah, you got it!”

Agreed! No one mistakenly says whore when they mean her. This is BS.

Good! Then she can call her former opponent “nothing but a pimp for the democrats”.
