GOP State Senator: "She stays at home...she's lucky enough she has a husband that provides"

https://bluevirginia.us/2019/10/listen-republican-virginia-state-sen-bryce-reeves-makes-sexist-comments-about-democrat-amy-laufer

During a radio interview on WCHV’s Joe Thomas in the Morning, Republican Senator Bryce Reeves demeaned his Democratic opponent Amy Laufer as someone who stays at home all day while her husband provides for her. The comments were part of another one of his anti-government rants in which he implied Virginians in need are lazy and don’t work for the help they receive.

“And last time I looked my opponent’s not working day to day. She stays at home. And you know she’s lucky enough she has a husband that provides all that stuff.

She has 3 children, the oldest of whom is 14. I thought raising your children was a woman's role. Shrike47 Oct 2019 #1

To kiss her badonkadonk. Being a stay at home mom is no joke and not for the weak. I’d challenge this idiot to give it a try. Bet he’d fold in a heartbeat. I was able to stay at home for a few years to raise my 3 kids and now that I’m retired I take care of 4 grandkids. And I’m here to tell this dude that I’ve never worked harder in my life in either instance. He needs to get a big fat clue.
