Radio Host Calls Campus Rape Culture 'Big Lie' At Rick Scott Rally

Asshole alert!



At a rally to get out the vote for Florida Gov. Rick Scott (R) on Tuesday, conservative talk radio host Dennis Prager called the issue of campus sexual assault "a big lie" invented by "the feminist left."

At the Sarasota Hyatt, Prager began by calling the idea of a war on women “a gargantuan lie to get votes," and then turned to his opinions on campus rape culture, according to the Sarasota Herald-Tribune.

"Did you ever look at what counts? An unwanted kiss is considered sexual assault. I'm stunned it's only 1 in 5," he said, according to the paper. "Four out of five women have not gotten an unwanted kiss?"

"My wife gets unwanted kisses every so often," he added.

Prager said that the left, not the right, is insensitive to violence against women by "trivializing" the word rape.

as 'unwanted kisses', the fact that he doesn't even think an unwanted kiss actually is an assault is a display of mind-boggling stupidity. If it wasn't an 'assault', anybody on the street could come up and kiss you at any moment.

I wonder if he'd change his mind if he constantly had strangers, perhaps diseased, constantly trying to kiss him.
