Now, here's Sen. Mamie Locke:
Mr. President, when I learned that one of my colleagues said that a woman who was pregnant is a host, even as a sarcastic remark, something else was being said. It was a degradation of women. That kind of language suggests that women are fundamentally less human than men, and women are subservient. Charitably, I can say that this kind of comment is snide and doesn't get it anywhere. Frankly, it's misogynistic and demeaning. Sometimes, when we are on social media and the mask slips, we get to see what people really believe.
Also speaking, prior to Senators Louise Lucas and Mamie Locke, were Senators Barbara Favola and Janet Howell, who similarly blasted Martin for his "demeaning" comments towards women. Unfortunately, I tuned in a bit too late to record Senators Favola and Howell, but I presume that video will be available later today...
