Opponents are blasting Republican Congressman Jason Lewis for comments he made as a radio talk-show host, just released in a C-N-N report. In one audio clip Lewis says, “It used to be that women were held to a little bit of a higher standard. We required modesty from women. Now are we beyond those days where a women can behave as a slut but you can’t call her a slut?”
Lewis’s Democratic opponent Angie Craig says she’s deeply disappointed by his remarks about women and the example they provide to the young men of our nation. Craig says “Our children are looking up to our nation’s leaders and we must do better. ” Lewis’s campaign manager said in a statement, “This has all been litigated before, and as Rep. Lewis has said time and time again, it was his job to be provocative while on the radio.”
