VOMIT!..."You don’t get that way unless you have a strong man that allowed you to blossom.”



At his event, Brown was bolstered by the former mayor of Lowell, Rita Mercier, who pointed to Brown’s wife and daughters as evidence of his support for women, calling them “three adorable good woman that are strong and vibrant and independent. You don’t get that way unless you have a strong man that allowed you to blossom.”

Women can't blossom without strong man? FFS.

I know plenty of gay mothers, and straight single mothers (of kids who have absent fathers), with amazing strong, vibrant, and independent daughters.

don't think I have ever heard of a male politician "allowed" to do anything by females but I could be wrong.
