Lucas, last week, in a speech to a crowd of voters in Iowa, Sen. Ted Cruz
suggested
that Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton should be “spanked.”
Join CREDO and Daily Kos in telling Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to censure Sen. Ted Cruz.
After falsely accusing Hillary Clinton of lying, Sen. Cruz then made the following statement: “In my house, if my daughter, Catherine, the 5-year-old, says something that she knows to be false, she gets a spanking.”
No matter the political or policy disagreements Sen. Cruz may have with Hillary Clinton, there is no place for that kind of offensive, misogynistic, violent rhetoric in our public discourse. If Republican leaders in Washington are serious about casting off their image as a party waging a war on women, then they need to quickly and publicly rebuke Sen. Ted Cruz for his comments.
Take a stand against violent, misogynistic rhetoric toward women and children. Sign the petition.
Keep fighting,
