Nebraska senator faces criticism for women's march retweet

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) A Nebraska state senator who had cybersex with a woman on a state computer is facing criticism again for a retweet suggesting that demonstrators at a womens march werent attractive enough to be sexually assaulted.

Republican state Sen. Bill Kintner of Papillion on Sunday retweeted a comment by conservative personality Larry Elder that mocked three women pictured with signs protesting Donald Trumps comments about touching women inappropriately. Above the photo, Elder wrote: Ladies, I think your safe.

Kintners retweet drew immediate criticism online and from the Nebraska Democratic Party. The blunt-spoken lawmaker paid a $1,000 fine last year after he admitted to engaging in mutual masturbation on Skype with a woman who tried to blackmail him.

Kintner declined to comment Monday but suggested he would issue a statement later.

I could have guessed that was what he looked like even before I scrolled down to the photo.

"Ladies, I think your safe"

What's the deal with their safe? Is it locked?

That moves him from troglodyte to Brownshirt. Proper use of your would move him up to useful idiot status.

a day 6 days a week is the problem.

Not just the women who voted for him but all of them. They actually believe that, which is amazing and tells me we lost the propganda war, because they lie, we tell the truth, we are always behind.
