Apparently middle-aged men are just doing their civic duty by letting women know when they find their behavior inappropriate.
Defending Donald Trump calling Hillary Clinton a “nasty woman” during the presidential debate, Rep. Brian Babin (R-TX) said the Republican nominee was well within his right.
“You know what, she’s saying some nasty things,” the Texas congressman said Thursday on the “Alan Colmes Show” in remarks first flagged by CNN.
Colmes asked Babin if Trump’s aside, which came as Clinton knocked his avoidance of paying federal income tax during a response to a question on Social Security, was appropriate.
“Well, I’m a genteel Southerner, Alan,” he replied.
“So that means no?” Colmes pressed.
“No, I think sometimes a lady needs to be told when she’s being nasty,” Babin said. “I do.”
“My assessment is that Mrs. Clinton has got so much baggage–” Babin added. “I think she’s done some nasty things.”
The Texas lawmaker, who endorsed Trump “unequivocally” in May after first backing Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), said he ultimately agreed with the Republican nominee’s comment.
Listen below:
If it was a ladies job to tell men when they’re being stupid, I don’t think they’d ever get a chance to say anything else.
“Just that nigra Colin Kuper, Kuiper, well, anyway, certain people need to know their place.”
A nasty woman’s place is in the White House.

Patriarchy much?
Babin: “When a lady’s being nasty, it’s a man’s job to grab her by the pussy and show her who’s a star.”
“Genteel southerners” sure have peculiar notions of what constitutes ‘nasty’.
