WASHINGTONAdmonishing those responsible for failing to uphold their moral duties, Vice President Mike Pence expressed disappointment Saturday in the 200,000 husbands and fathers who had allowed the women and girls in their charge to attend the Womens March on Washington. I cant tell you how let down I feel by the heads of these households who did not simply give their wives and daughters a firm, decisive no when they asked to participate in todays demonstration, said Pence, noting with frustration that many of the protesters had been granted permission to travel across the country alone and stay for several days in a faraway city with no male chaperone whatsoever to guide and look after them. There are a few men marching as well, so they must be the ones supervising this whole thing, and thank God for that. But I cant help but feel that these ladies custodiansthe ones who were supposed to be providing a masculine voice of reason on these sorts of mattershave really come up short today. Pence stressed that he, for example, had told his 23-year-old eldest daughter that it was simply out of the question when she mentioned she was thinking of attending the march.

There are many Republicans not just dumb enough, but actually eager to stake out political positions that are this stupid.
