A GOP OFFICIAL IN NEW JERSEY DECIDED TO SHARE A MEME THAT
NICK TO GRADES WOMEN WHO DECIDED TO TAKE PART IN THE WOMEN'S
MARCH THIS PAST WEEKEND.
IT WAS REPUBLICAN JOHN CARMEN AND APPARENTLY ON HIS
FACEBOOK PAGE HE HAD SHARED A MEAN THIS IS THE FOLLOWING: WILL
THE WOMEN'S PROTEST TO BE OVER IN TIME FOR THEM TO COOK DINNER?
MAKE ME A SANDWICH.
IT'S LIKE THE FAVORITE REPUBLICAN RESPONSE TO A
WOMAN WHO SHARES HER POLITICAL VIEWS.
ANYWAY, HE GOT CRITICISM FOR INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, AND
HE DID RESPOND TO THE CRITICISM WITH NOT AN APOLOGY, BUT
KIND OF DOUBLING DOWN.
HE SAYS I THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNY.
PEOPLE NEED TO LIGHTEN UP.
HE ALSO WROTE THERE MUST BE A LARGE SANDWICH MAKING CLASS
GOING ON IN WASHINGTON, DC TODAY.
ANYWAY, WHEN HE CONTINUED TO GET CRITICIZED AND PEOPLE
HONESTLY TRIED TO EXPLAIN TO HIM WHY IT IS NOT THAT FUNNY,
THIS IS LIKE PLAYED OUT, TRY TO COME UP WITH SOMETHING MORE
CLEVER, AND WHY IT IS NOT FUNNY TO GO AFTER PEOPLE WHO ARE
EXERCISING THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS BY THE WAY.
HE DECIDED TO POST ANOTHER MEME.
AND IT WAS ABOUT ROSA PARKS.
ROSA PARKS REFUSED TO GIVE UP HER SEAT ON THE BUS.
BUT SHE DIDN'T TRASH THE BUS.
BIG DIFFERENCE.
THESE PROTESTS WERE INSANELY PEACEFUL AND I HAVE TO BE
HONEST, I WENT TO THE WOMEN'S MARCH IN LOS ANGELES AND
BEING IN PUBLIC WITH LARGE CROWDS OF PEOPLE MAKES ME
SUPER UNCOMFORTABLE RIGHT NOW JUST BECAUSE THE COUNTRY IS
IN A REALLY BAD PLACE.
I WAS SHOCKED AT HOW INCREDIBLY WELL-ORGANIZED AND PEACEFUL
IT WAS.
IT WAS A REALLY GREAT FEELING TO BE THERE WITH PEOPLE WHO HAVE
STRONG POLITICAL OPINIONS, WHO BELIEVE IN COMMUNITY AND HELPING
ONE ANOTHER OUT, WHO WANT TO PROTECT THEIR RIGHTS AND WHAT
THE MEDIA DOES AND WHAT THE OPPONENTS TO THESE
PROTESTERS DO IS CLAIM THAT THEY ARE ALL VIOLENCE AND THEY
TRY TO MINIMIZE AND BELITTLE THEM AND MAKE THEM
SEMI-CARE CRAZY CRIMINAL THOUGHT THAT IS NOT THE CASE AT ALL.
2.9 MILLION PEOPLE MARCH THIS PAST WEEKEND AND TO SAY
THAT THEY ARE VIOLENT AND DESTROYING PROPERTY IS INSANE.
TWO QUICK POINTS ON THAT.
ONE, THERE IS NO EVIDENCE ON IT I KNOW IT IS AN ALTERNATIVE
FACTS, BUT NOBODY WRITE ABOUT ANYTHING BEING IN ANY WAY
HER DURING THE WOMAN'S MARCH START DURING THE
INAUGURATION, THEY SAID THEY WERE IN ARGUS, I DON'T KNOW
BUT THERE WERE DEFINITELY SOME WINDOWS BROKEN THAT WASN'T
THE WOMEN'S MARCH, THAT WAS THE DAY BEFORE.
HE IS SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO THE WOMEN'S MARCH WERE
THERE WAS NO REPORTS OF ANY VIOLENCE WHATSOEVER.
SECONDLY, DO YOU THINK THEY WOULD'VE BEEN IN FAVOR OF
ROSA PARKS?
GUYS LIKE THAT BACK IN THE DAY THEY WOULD'VE BEEN LIKE
HEY, WE DON'T NEED ANY NORTHERN AGITATORS COMING IN HERE.
WE HAVE TRADITION AND HERITAGE HERE AND EVERYONE KNOWS
THEIR ROLE, THEY ARE COMING IN HERE AND STIRRING THINGS UP.
NO, THEY WOULD'VE HATED ROSA PARKS.
THEY DID, THE CONSERVATIVES HATED ROSA PARKS LIKE THAT.
NOW THEY FAVOR PRETENDING TO BE IN FAVOR PEOPLE IN MARTIN
LUTHER KING AND ROSA PARKS.
PLEASE SPARE ME.
BACK TO MAKING SANDWICHES.
IF YOU ARE A COUPLE OF GUYS AND YOU WANT TO JOKER HIM
PRIVATELY, IT IS ILL-ADVISED, BUT WHO CARES?
YOU ARE NOT A PUBLIC OFFICIAL.
OR YOU MIGHT LIKE I DID, MAKE IT IRONIC SO WHEN I WAS
INTERVIEWING THAT WOMAN WHO HATES ALL OF THEIR FEMINISTS AND
DOESN'T AGREE WITH WOMEN'S RIGHTS, I WAS LIKE, IF YOU DON'T
WANT WOMEN TO HAVE RIGHTS, THEN I GUESS YOU ARE HAPPY IN
THE DAYS WERE YOU MAKE SANDWICHES?
GO MAKE ME A SANDWICH.
AND I SAID THAT IN THE CONTEXT OF IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE
EQUAL, THEN I GET TO LEARN OVER YOU.
LET ME BE CLEAR, I HAVE MADE SIMILAR STATEMENTS
ESPECIALLY WHEN THE ELECTION WAS HAPPENING AND WE HAD JORDAN
CHARLTON INTERVIEWING PEOPLE AT THESE TRUMP RALLIES AND SEVERAL
WOMEN WOULD TALK ABOUT HOW, ONE WOMAN SAID THAT SHE DOES NOT
BELIEVE THAT WOMEN SHOULD HAVE A PLACE IN POLITICS AS SHE IS
AT A RALLY, BY THE WAY AND WOMEN SHOULD NOT VOICE THEIR OPINIONS.
THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE RIGHTS.
THE RIGHTS THAT WE TAKE FOR GRANTED ON A REGULAR BASIS AND
NOW A LOT OF US ARE WAKING UP WE WANT TO PROTECT THOSE RIGHTS.
HERE IS THE THING, HOW ABOUT YOU DON'T MESS WITH MY LIFE AND
MY RIGHTS.
IF YOU WANT TO BE IN THE KITCHEN TO MAKE A SANDWICH, DO IT.
IF YOU WOULD BE A HOUSEWIFE, IF YOU WANT YOUR HUSBAND TO
CONTROL EVERY SINGLE COMPONENT OF YOUR LIFE, PLEASE, YOU
HAVE FREE WILL, YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO MAKE WHATEVER
LIFE DECISIONS YOU WANT.
YOU DO YOU, BUT I'M NOT GOING
TO JUDGE YOU, THAT'S YOUR RELATIONSHIP.
THERE'S A THING, I WANT TO BE A LEADER, I WANT TO MAKE DECISIONS
FOR MYSELF AND I WANT TO HAVE A STRONG VOICE IN POLITICS.
YOU DON'T GET TO TELL ME HOW I LIVE MY LIFE.YOU WANT
YOUR HUSBAND TO DICTATE YOU, AWESOME.
HERE'S ANOTHER THING, PEOPLE GET ON ME BECAUSE I CALL
REPUBLICAN WOMEN STUPID.
I MEAN, THEY DON'T RESPECT YOU.
THEY TREAT YOU LIKE YOU ARE CRAP.
THEY TALK ABOUT CONTROLLING YOUR BODY, THEY TALK ABOUT
PUNISHING YOU, THEY TALK ABOUT HOW THE ONLY THING YOU ARE
WORTH SOMEONE WHO GOES AND MAKES YOUR HUSBAND A SANDWICH.
THEY DON'T RESPECT YOU, SO WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?
SIT HERE AND PRETEND LIKE YOU ARE SMART?
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY.
BY THE WAY, IF YOU THINK THAT
POLITICAL CORRECTNESS HAS RUN AMOK IN THE COUNTRY, I
AGREE WITH YOU.
DON'T BE A SNOWFLAKE WHEN I CALL YOU STUPID.
I WILL ADD TO THAT.
IF YOU ARE IN THE CAMP THAT YOU THINK MEN ARE SUPERIOR TO WOMEN
AND HENCE SHOULD MAKE THESE DECISIONS AND YOU SHOULD OBEY
YOUR HUSBAND AND VOTE FOR REPUBLICANS THAT AGREE WITH
YOU AND YOU WANT THEM TO LORD OVER YOU, DON'T COMPLAIN WHEN I
ASK YOU TO MAKE ME A SANDWICH BECAUSE THAT IS YOUR JOB
ACCORDING TO YOUR INTERPRETATION.
I DON'T AGREE WITH THAT AND I DON'T WANT
THAT, ANA DOESN'T WANT THAT, NONE OF US WANT THAT, BUT YOU
DO SO HOW DO YOU COMPLAIN WHEN ASK YOU TO MAKE ME A SANDWICH?
SHOULDN'T YOU SAY YES, SIR.
YOU ARE A LORD OVER ME, A REPUBLICAN, YES SIR.
WHAT KIND OF SANDWICH WOULD YOU LIKE?
THAT WOULD BE THE RESPONSE IíM LOOKING FOR GOING FORWARD.
BACK TO THE REALITY.
IF YOU ARE AN ACTUAL POLITICIAN AND YOU REPRESENT ALL THE PEOPLE
IN YOUR DISTRICT, YOU CANíT GO AROUND MAKING JOKES LIKE THIS.
YOU ARE NOT WITH YOUR BUDDIES IN THE LOCKER ROOM OR THE CLUB
SO WHEN YOU DO THAT PUBLICLY, FOR ALL THE WOMEN WHO DO
CARE, WHO DON'T THINK THAT THEIR ROLE IS FOR YOU TO LORD OVER
THEM, YOU ALSO REPRESENT THEM.
THEY ARE IN YOUR DISTRICT.
THIS IS A SLAP ACROSS THE FACE.
THE PEOPLE WHO DON'T AGREE WITH YOU ON POLITICS,
50% OF YOUR VOTERS, 50% OF YOUR CONSTITUENTS ARE
PEOPLE YOU ARE NOW SAYING, YOU WANT TO BE INVOLVED IN POLITICS?
THAT'S CUTE LITTLE MISSY.
WHY DON'T YOU GO BACK, MAKE ME DINNER?
HERE IS WHAT THEY SHOULD MAKE YOU.
UNEMPLOYED.
