Congressman says banks need to ‘neuter’ Warren

Senator Elizabeth Warren criticized US Representative Blaine Luetkemeyer Thursday for making a “sexist and offensive” comment about her at an American Bankers Association meeting in Washington.

The Missouri congressman said that the banking industry needs to “neuter” Warren in an address on Wednesday to the powerful trade association of financial services industry officials.

He also compared Warren to a character from “Star Wars,” saying she’s the “Darth Vader of the financial services world.”

Warren’s outrage over the comment wasn’t initially apparent. Lacey Rose, a spokeswoman for Warren, didn’t reply Wednesday to an inquiry from the Globe about the remarks.

On Thursday afternoon, in a Warren fund-raising e-mail titled “I won’t be neutered,” Warren wrote: “Why would he go out of his way to say something so sexist and offensive? Is he hostile to all women? Clueless? Afraid?”

Simply put, she is an ignorant lying idiotess.

Her only asset is that she is very slightly less repulsive than the Hillabeast.

Neutered. Hmmmm. A very curious choice of word by the Congressman, but perhaps it was intentional gender-wise.

Even more curious is Warren’s choice to use that same word back at him in a defiant reply. Neutered. Could it be something is going on here under the fray?

Myself, I’d have said “spayed.” But what do I know. I’m just a dumbass country boy.

In a Trumpified world, most people are actually on Warren’s side of this. I think Republicans race to the aid of large banks at their jeopardy.

It’s not “sexist”, you dimwit! If THAT were the reference, you “neuter” males. You spay females.

Sadly, she’ll have even more power in a Hillary administration.

I for one can’t wait to bail out the banks again. I feel it’s my patriotic duty.

She’s in the wrong line of work if she’s going to let trivial comments like that bother her.

I’m still expecting Hillary to drop out before Nov. for ‘health’ reasons.
And Biden/Warren to arise.
