Mike Huckabee has an interesting new strategy for appealing to female voters in 2016: Call us "trashy" if we use naughty words!
Appearing last Friday on Mickelson in the Morning, an Iowa-based radio show, Huckabee recounted the culture shock he experienced when hearing profanity in the workplace while working for Fox News in New York City.Any delicate ladyflowers from Iowa want to take issue with this fuckery?
"In Iowa, you would not have people who would just throw the f-bomb and use gratuitous profanity in a professional setting," Huckabee said. "In New York, not only do the men do it, but the women do it!"
He continued: "This would be considered totally inappropriate to say these things in front of a woman." But "for a woman to say them in a professional setting," Huckabee went on, "that's just trashy!"
Y'all know there ain't much that genuinely offends me, but the suggestion that my frail lady constitution can't handle hearing profanity is some of the most offensive shit I've ever heard.
And this, from a man who would happily force me to carry to term an unwanted pregnancy and push out of my body a baby I don't even want. But don't say "fuck" in front of my fragile ears?! FUCK THAT and FUCK YOU!
