| Description | Maybe Meg Whitman's been reading the latest research that shows women candidates lose big if they let sexist comments stand unchallenged.
After the L.A. Times broke the news that Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jerry Brown or his aide used the word "whore" to refer to Whitman in a private recorded conversation, the high-rolling candidate is fighting back.
"The use of the term 'whore' is an insult to both Meg Whitman and to the women of California," her aide Sarah Pompei said in a statement. "This is an appalling and unforgivable smear against Meg Whitman. At the very least Mr. Brown tacitly approved this despicable slur and he himself may have used the term at least once on this recording." |
