On ‘Fox News Sunday,” retired Rep. Steve LaTourette (R-OH) cited failed Republican Senate candidate Richard Mourdock’s wayward remarks on rape as an example of why the GOP is badly losing with women voters.
“Mr. Mourdock, for instance, I mean — we’re supposed to wonder why we don’t have the women’s vote in this country when we have a candidate suggesting that a child born as a result of rape is a gift from God? I’m not wondering why we don’t have more women voting for Republicans,” he said.
LaTourette, who is now a lobbyist, urged Republicans to stop looking for ways to thwart governance and to step outside their comfort zone.
“If we ever want to be a national party, then we have to look like America,” he said. “Today we look like a bunch of white guys below the Mason-Dixon line.”
