At a campaign stop on Saturday, GOP Senator Lindsey Graham, in the political fight of his life, said this of women in America:

“I want every young woman to know that that there’s a place for you in America if you’re pro-life, if you embrace your religion and you follow traditional family structure,” he added, “that you can go anywhere, young lady.”

Watch the clip below:


Graham made the comment in Conway, South Carolina after praising newly confirmed Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett.

How long have you been married? What is your wife's name? How many children do you have?

Oh, that's right you never married. Some of us can guess why.

Not expect to be clobbered at the polls. Yes, its south Carolina, but Lindsay Graham wasn't even born when this kind of attitude was prevelant.

Nine years of college and post-graduate school. Three degrees including a Juris Doctor. Two certifications (teaching and law). Proudly and eternally unmarried by choice. Childless by choice (safe sex, y'all!) Proud atheist for decades. Successful teacher. Successful attorney. The antithesis of Ayn Rand. Nobody's bitch. A dangerous woman by those parameters in the eyes of Lindsey. Glad I don't live in SC.

Even in that context, it is amazingly tone deaf, especially given his previous comments about African Americans.

Their requirement was to be conservatives.

If anyone in SC is listening, he should lose.
