Missouri Congresswoman Disses Women's March as 'Very Pornographic'

Was Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler watching the same Women's March we were watching?

The Republican legislator, who represents a rural Missouri district that includes Columbia, recently lambasted the women who marched on Washington, D.C., as "radical liberals who don't like the results of the election" and "from the fringes of the Democratic Party."

Let's set aside for the moment the record-breaking crowds that showed up to march. (If 3 million people is a mere "fringe," the Democratic Party is much bigger than we previously realized.) Because that's not even the looniest part. As the interview with 93.9 FM (The Eagle) continued, Hartzler started making things up whole cloth — and then, naturally, blamed the media for not reporting on her delusions.

"What has not been reported is the reality of a lot of their signs and a large proportion of the message was very, very graphic," she claimed. "It was very pornographic. Their signs, their posters, it was pornographic is all it was, and no media has talked about that, and it was very sad."
