MI Lawmaker: Silencing Brown like "giving a kid a timeout"

[eissa]

Unbelievable. These SOBs just don't get it. I'm more astounded at the female GOP -- do these women have Stockholm Syndrome?

“It’s like giving a kid a timeout for a day,” he told Lansing radio host Patrick Shiels. “You know, hey, timeout, you wanna comment too far, you spoke your piece. We’re gonna let these other people have their dissenting comments, and then we’ll get back to business.”

The group Progress Michigan on Wednesday slammed Schmidt for the remark, saying it “only draws more attention to the inherent disrespect women serving in the legislature are unnecessarily encountering.”

1. I don't get it either. I just keep thinking of the family I grew up in, where everyone

let the father do anything he wanted, no one confronted or stopped him, because as long as he was hurting someone else, he wasn't hurting YOU at least.

That's what the R women remind me of. They think they are the good girls who won't get hurt, the special ones. Only the other "bad" women who speak up will be harmed.

They are delusional.

2. I feel for you........

TBH, I see this with a LOT of Republican women, too. Not all, but definitely many.

3. Disgusting

Not surprising, though. Those men are really threatened by any woman who dares say anything other than, "Here's your dinner and your beer, honey."

4. This is the one time the 1st amendment can be used here. They (being Michigan governing body)

silenced the speech of a citizen because they were "offended" by what she said. I don't see why the women aren't all over this for that aspect.

5. Openly bragging about treating women legislators like children..

Dripping with contempt...

6. Yup, but nothing ever happens to these people....?

7. Let's see, way back in the '70s we had a term for these SOBs, male chauvinist pigs.
