GOP Rep. Refuses To Apologize For Disgusting Joke About Women And Domestic Violence

Kyle Tasker thinks domestic violence is a laughing matter. The New Hampshire Republican state representative took to Facebook this week to defend a fellow Republican, by attacking women and domestic violence survivors.

Tasker tried to stand up for Republican Mark Warden, who last year said that some people “like being in abusive relationships.” ”It’s a love-hate relationship,” Warden concluded.

On Facebook, Tasker posted an image which depicts two people, drawn as stick figures, apparently having oral sex, and captioned, “50,000 battered women and I still eat mine plain.”

I'm pretty much convinced that GOPers and run of the mill Winger Cons are running this internal contest within themselves to say the most reprehensible thing in public possible. And were I to gather what the grand prize would be, I'd say that it would be the right of the winner to keep a small Black child in their basement as a sex slave.

So, if perhaps he discover that one of them had, in fact, kept a small Black child in their basement as a sex slave, then we can assume that I'm on to something here.
