GOP Candidate Accused of Sexism for Trying to Protect Himself

RUSH: “A female reporter in Mississippi is accusing a Republican gubernatorial candidate of sexism after he refused her request to shadow him on the campaign trail. Rep. Robert Foster’s, R-Hernando, campaign reportedly told Larrison Campbell of Mississippi Today that her presence might stoke speculation about an affair between the two. Colton Robison, Foster’s campaign director, offered Campbell an opportunity to follow the candidate but said she would need a male colleague accompanying her.”

So all of a sudden now women have come a long way baby now moving backwards. Here’s a female reporter who wants to shadow a candidate to do one of those inside the campaign kind of stories, and he’s telling her no ’cause I know what’s gonna happen. Somebody’s gonna say you and I are having an affair or you might come out and say that I touched you inappropriately or something. And I’m not having it. I’m not even putting myself in a situation where somebody could say this, allege this, nor you could say it.
