Remember this news from last night? Paul Ryan has retracted his endorsement at whiplash speeds:
Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan has dropped his endorsement of a Wisconsin lawmaker who said that his father had told him “some girls, they rape so easy” as a way to warn him that women could consent to sex but then later claim they hadn’t.
Ryan pulled his support for Wisconsin Rep. Roger Rivard of Rice Lake just hours after the Journal Sentinel reported on his rape comments, and by Thursday afternoon Gov. Scott Walker and U.S. Senate candidate Tommy Thompson also condemned Rivard’s statements. U.S. Rep. Sean Duffy of Ashland said he was donating money he had received from Rivard to a sexual abuse shelter.
What a great guy Paul Ryan is! He befriends and supports terrible men who don’t respect women’s rights and then backs away without a second thought when they say inflammatory things about women.
