Of Course The GOP Women Who Opposed ACA Repeal Are Facing A Sexist BacklashThough two men from the most conservative wing of the Republican party dealt the death blow to the GOP Senate health care bill on Monday night, it was three Republican women who effectively halted Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnells next attempt to repeal the Affordable Care Act.
In the days since, these GOP women ― Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), and Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) ― have received both an outpouring of support and an ugly backlash online. Unsurprisingly ― and depressingly ― much of the aforementioned backlash seems wrapped up in the gender of the three senators.
Collins, Murkowski and Capito have not only been labelled traitors to the Republican party and RINOs (Republicans in Name Only), like some of their male colleagues who openly opposed the original Senate health care bill. They have also been referred to as witches, feminazis and bitches who have a crazy look, and are an example of why women shouldnt serve in government.

Republicans or not, this is just plain wrong. That last tweet..."these women are the worst Traitors to the USA"...as they cheer their 'Resident that sold the USA to Russia. These dRump supporters need to be locked up.

Women should remain barefoot and pregnant (this is what the all white male health care bill writing team has in mind).
