Three weeks after GOP Rep. Liz Cheney (Wyo.) said she would vote to impeach former President Trump, a barrage of her male colleagues lined up to criticize her during a conference meeting, The New York Times Magazine reported on Thursday.
Some of the remarks were decidedly sexist, and were shared among GOP women in political circles in Washington, D.C., the Times reported.
A remark from Rep. Mike Kelly (R-Pa.) in particular created waves.
Kelly reportedly equated Cheney voting to impeach Trump to a football game, telling the conference, You look up into the stands and see your girlfriend on the oppositions side thats one hell of a tough thing to swallow, the Times reported.
Shes not your girlfriend! a female colleague reportedly yelled out in response, the story stated.
The Times reported that Kellys comment was immediately passed around circles of Republican women in professional Washington. Former GOP Rep. Barbara Comstock (Va.) told the Times she was horrified by the comment.
Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.), addressing Cheney as Liz, reportedly said that her defiant attitude bothered him, adding that she was not being a team player.
