| Description | GOP operatives in Medina County, Ohio recently sent around the Spring 2010 edition of their newsletter which encouraged their constituents to help "take Betty Sutton out of the House and put her back in the kitchen."
"I'm not sure that it was intended -- in fact I'm positive that it was not in intended to be sexist," Medina County Bill Heck told Talking Points Memo.
"We are just trying to get the attention of the voters," Heck continued. "It is rhetoric that I think is very common in all elections, of sending people somewhere -- either to the House or back from the House. And we certainly apologize for any offense that anyone would take from this."
Rep. Sutton responded to the mailer Friday, calling the wording "an insult to all women regardless of whether they work within the home raising families and managing households or work beyond the home, providing for themselves and others."
"The comment made in the flyer not only devalues women and all that they contribute to the strength of our nation, but it is also an unconscionable statement of belief about the potential of our girls and young women," Sutton said in the statement. |
