Jeff Bell, a Republican running for a U.S. Senate seat, says single women are mooching off the government and they are the reason he is losing by 20 points to his progressive and very popular opponent, Cory Booker.
Bell believes that it is not his prehistoric socially conservative views about abortion that are to blame for his double-digit trail, but that single unmarried women just like free stuff!!!
Bell told the Asbury Park Press:
“I’ve done a lot of thinking about this and looked at a lot of different polls, I think it has more to do with the rise in single women.
“Single mothers particularly are automatically Democratic because of the benefits. They need benefits to survive, and so that kind of weds them to the Democratic Party.”
Bell also asserted that decline in marriage rates had to do with the fact he has not been able to appeal to New Jersey voters, saying that “single women who have never married and don’t have children are also that way. If you take married women, they aren’t that different from married men. So it’s really a problem with the decline in marriage rates. The Democrats do benefit from that.”
If Mr. Bell wants to know why the women of New Jersey are fleeing from his candidacy in droves, he need only to read his own misogynistic, despicable comments. Single mothers and married mothers alike want their children to have access to a great education, quality healthcare and opportunity. If they are ‘wedded’ to the Democratic Party, it is because the Democratic Party fields candidates like Senator Booker, who has worked tirelessly to expand access to an affordable college education, provide healthcare for those who need it and ensure that all women, single or married, receive equal pay for equal work.
So there you have it, women of New Jersey – it’s all your fault that the older, conservative, out-of-touch white man is losing to a younger, very popular progressive who believes in equality for all and reproductive choice.
Bravo!
