Received this e-mail today from Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D. IL) in support of Rep. Tammy Duckworth's (D. IL) U.S. Senate campaign:
Unbelievable: Mark Kirk was caught on a live mic at a Senate hearing this morning calling fellow Senator Lindsey Graham a “bro with no ho.”
This kind of sexist language has no place in the U.S. Senate. Contribute to Tammy Duckworth’s campaign now to replace Mark Kirk with a Senator who will champion women.

It’s beyond inappropriate for a U.S. Senator to make a joke referring to women as “Hos” - and it’s also reflective of Mark Kirk’s broader anti-woman legislative record.
Kirk has voted against equal pay, childcare to support working moms, and nutrition aid for expectant women.
Illinois deserves a Senator who will work to expand opportunity for women - not one who spends Senate hearings making sexist jokes.

Rep. Jan Schakowsky
