“I wouldn’t want to tell Texas whether women are humans, for example,” he said on CBS’s “Face the Nation.” “They obviously have some very strong opinions about that.”

This qualifies.

My BP spiked. Jesu, it is utterly believable that he would say something like that...because he cherishes us so much.
