Rep. Womack angers single moms at town hall
that was so disrespectful!”#ARLeg pic.twitter.com/DLggNIFRXn

Republican Rep. Steve Womack, not known for his diplomacy in the best of circumstances, stepped in it at a town hall in Rogers last night. He was unapologetic, of course.
He met a lot of constituents unhappy with his stand on immigration, the environment and other issues, but drew sharp blowback when he seemed to link gun violence to single-parent homes.
Some single mothers in the crowd took offense and a video of the exchange was circulated nationwide by Shannon Watts, founder of the Moms Demand gun safety organization, who sent the message to almost 400,000 Twitter followers.
