The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) blasted Rep. Paul Gingrey (R-GA) on Thursday for saying Todd Akin was “partly right” about “legitimate rape.”
“Last November women across the country sent the message loud and clear that they are not interested in electing men who don’t take women’s health and safety seriously, but House Republicans have apparently still not gotten that message,” said spokesman Jesse Ferguson. “As long as Republicans have extremists like Congressman Gingrey leading their health care policy, the Tea Party House Republicans will be too extreme for women.”
Gingrey claims his comments are being “misconstrued” and unfairly used by his political enemies.
