Rep. Kilroy: GOP Shouting Down Democratic Women Was A ‘Sexist’ Attempt To Put Us ‘In Our Place’
Rep. Kilroy: GOP Shouting Down Democratic Women Was A ‘Sexist’ Attempt To Put Us ‘In Our Place’
On Saturday, several Republican went wild and shouted down members of the Democratic Women’s Caucus on the House floor. As each woman stepped up to the microphone to give a brief statement about how the House health care legislation would benefit women, Republicans — led by Rep. Tom Price (GA) — repeatedly talked over them, screamed, and shouted screeds like “I object, I object, I object, I object, I object.”
Yesterday, ThinkProgress interviewed Rep. Mary Jo Kilroy (OH), one of the Democratic women who faced this treatment. Kilroy said unequivocally that the GOP’s actions were “sexist” and it would be “nice” if they apologized. She pointed to recent GOP comments about House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) — that it’s time to “put her in her place” — and said that’s exactly what Price and the other Republicans were doing on Saturday:
KILROY: [T]hree male members of Congress got up and started shouting down — trying to shout down the Democratic women. I thought it was loud, I thought it was rude, I thought it was disrespectful, and I thought it was sexist. [...]
Well, when you engage in loud, rude, and boorish behavior, my mother would have said they should apologize. I don’t expect an apology, but that would be nice to have that. But you know, you’re seeing this sexist behavior going on.
You heard recently comments — from the Republican side of the aisle, some of my Republican colleagues over there — saying Speaker Pelosi should be put in her place, and I think that’s what they thought they were doing with the Democratic women. And it’s simply outrageous to me to have women being treated like that on the floor of the House.
Listen here:
Yesterday on a Center for American Progress Action Fund conference call, Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz said that Republicans have been essentially giving a “back-of-the-hand treatment to women,” pointing out that on Friday, Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX) “actually compared women to smokers and suggested women, like smokers, have to pay more for insurance just by the accident of our ability to get pregnant.”
Transcript:
KILROY: It wasn’t just me they were shouting down; it was every Democratic woman that got up to speak, to ask for unanimous consent to extend and revise the remarks in support of the Democratic health care bill. And each woman was giving a very short, one-sentence statement about why it was important for women — all the different aspects of the bill, why it was important for the women.
Apparently that message was too hard for Republican members of Congress to take because three male members of Congress got up and started shouting down — trying to shout down the Democratic women. I thought it was loud, I thought it was rude, I thought it was disrespectful, and I thought it was sexist.
TP: Why do you think they’re doing that? What were they so afraid of, that you were saying?
KILROY: Apparently since there’s a lack of a viable alternative coming from the other side of the aisle, they wanted to delay the Democratic bill from being voted on. They were engaged in a stalling tactic. But in particular, they were wanting to change the dialogue from how this bill helps women to a discussion on Republican tactics and parliamentary procedure and how long there is for debate and various points of order, or just shouting, “I object! I object! I object! I object!” to drown out the message that this bill — House bill 3962 — substantially will benefit the women of this country.
And instead of a celebratory moment by all of this who were lined up to speak — as women, to women, about why this bill would help them, but not give a long speech, just give a one-sentence statement as is permitted under House rules and then ask permission to revise and extend your remarks — to turn that into a contentious moment. So instead of talking about health care for women, we’re talking about the Republican tactics.
TP: So, did any of them come up to you afterward and apologize? Or do you think any of them should apologize?
KILROY: Well, when you engage in loud, rude, and boorish behavior, my mother would have said they should apologize. I don’t expect an apology, but that would be nice to have that. But you know, you’re seeing this sexist behavior going on.
You heard recently comments — from the Republican side of the aisle, some of my Republican colleagues over there — saying Speaker Pelosi should be put in her place, and I think that’s what they thought they were doing with the Democratic women. And it’s simply outrageous to me to have women being treated like that on the floor of the House. And the rules clearly say we can get up, give a simple sentence about why we’re supporting the bill, and ask to revise and extend. They were simply shouting that down.

November 10th, 2009 at 11:01 amParanoia Strikes Deep
By PAUL KRUGMAN
Published: November 9, 2009
Last Thursday there was a rally outside the U.S. Capitol to protest pending health care legislation, featuring the kinds of things we’ve grown accustomed to, including large signs showing piles of bodies at Dachau with the caption “National Socialist Healthcare.” It was grotesque — and it was also ominous. For what we may be seeing is America starting to be Californiafied.
The key thing to understand about that rally is that it wasn’t a fringe event. It was sponsored by the House Republican leadership — in fact, it was officially billed as a G.O.P. press conference. Senior lawmakers were in attendance, and apparently had no problem with the tone of the proceedings.
True, Eric Cantor, the second-ranking House Republican, offered some mild criticism after the fact. But the operative word is “mild.” The signs were “inappropriate,” said his spokesman, and the use of Hitler comparisons by such people as Rush Limbaugh, said Mr. Cantor, “conjures up images that frankly are not, I think, very helpful.”
What all this shows is that the G.O.P. has been taken over by the people it used to exploit.
LINK
November 10th, 2009 at 11:01 am(cont.)…
And if Tea Party Republicans do win big next year, what has already happened in California could happen at the national level. In California, the G.O.P. has essentially shrunk down to a rump party with no interest in actually governing — but that rump remains big enough to prevent anyone else from dealing with the state’s fiscal crisis. If this happens to America as a whole, as it all too easily could, the country could become effectively ungovernable in the midst of an ongoing economic disaster.
The point is that the takeover of the Republican Party by the irrational right is no laughing matter. Something unprecedented is happening here — and it’s very bad for America.
November 10th, 2009 at 11:03 amRepublics believe a woman should only be in 2 places…
A kitchen or straddling a pole at their local strip joint.
Notice how close they are to the Taliban in ideology?.
They don’t want women to succeed. They don’t women in Congress.
They don’t women educated. They don’t women to show leadership.
Women of America, it’s time to show Republics their ‘place’…
…in a bathroom stall soliciting public sex.
November 10th, 2009 at 11:03 amIf men tried this at our local city council meeting there would be an uproar that would end careers. It happens in the Congress and we are trained to just accept this as GOP tactics. ARGH!
November 10th, 2009 at 11:04 amMore conservative values. Because in the old days, white men could yell at women in public without shame. Black men of course, would be lynched for such disrespect.
Well, I guess they still have no shame.
November 10th, 2009 at 11:05 amI lived in Texas when Ann Richards ran for Governor. When Clayton Williams made a sexist remark during his campaign, tons of women came out to vote for Ann that might not have otherwise.

want us all to be their puppet babies.
After all these years, the Repugs still have no respect for women. The ones they tolerate are the ones like Palin and Bachman. Two ditzes who have no brains, and are nice to look at. If you can get passed that whole psyco thing.

November 10th, 2009 at 11:13 amBetween putting in anti-women’s reproductive rights amendments on a health care bill as a cowardly effort of obstruction and pulling the end-around on Diedre Scozzafava, and electing the anti-woman candidate Bob McDonnell to the governorship to Virginia, I think we have plenty of evidence of the GOP’s general hatred and intolerance of women.
November 10th, 2009 at 11:16 amWhat I find most troubling is the disrespect for procedure in the House. EVERY MEMBER is allowed time to speak without having to deal with behavior that wouldn’t be allowed in anyone’s own home let alone the floor of the House.
I may not agree with what they say, but I’ll defend their right to say it are words lost on the GOP. They are showing how scared and desparate they have become.
November 10th, 2009 at 11:17 amI didn’t catch the sexist angle at the original incident. I just saw it as very rude, obnoxious behavior and a total lack of civility and total lack of ability to enter into a meaningful dialogue. It also seemed a natural result of the bullying tactics of the reich-wing over the last 2 decades.
But if this behavior was only present when the women’s caucus, then she has a point.
November 10th, 2009 at 11:17 amGender bias is alive & well in Health Insurers & the Republic party.
November 10th, 2009 at 11:18 am“And it’s simply outrageous to me to have women being treated like that on the floor of the House.”
____________________________________________________________
It’s outrageous to have anyone treated like that on the floor of the House — or anywhere else.
But it’s the goal of the GOP to be rude and boorish. They’re running out of tricks to demonstrate their relevance, and they’re left only with tactics that only diminish it in the eyes of the voters they depend on.
I’m not sure that the Republicans were deliberately targeting women, or if women just happened to be in the bullseye that day. Whether intentional or not, that kind of combat against women will only lose them women’s votes. A tactical error, IMO.
November 10th, 2009 at 11:18 amConsidering the fact that a pregnancy can only be acheived when a man and a woman combine DNA, how hard is it to see that since the man bears half the responsibility in conception, then he should be on the hook for a portion of the pre-, post-, and perinatal cost obligations as well.
November 10th, 2009 at 11:19 amI think it would be good for America if the Republican Party strove to purify its ranks.
Much like Spinal Tap, their popularity is not waning; their appeal is becoming “more selective”.
November 10th, 2009 at 11:21 amYesterday on a Center for American Progress Action Fund conference call, Rep.

I’ve been a cigarette smoker for over 2 decades , and I know for a fact that I’m in WAY better shape than almost every GOP politician I see ; is Sessions gonna’ try to convince me that I’m more of a health risk than someone like a Chris Christie , Mitch McChinless , or even that lying pig , Limpballs , much less that Ms Wasserman-Schultz is ?
Yeah……….Good luck with that
November 10th, 2009 at 11:23 amCan you imagine an amendment requiring all men who do not have a vasectomy to buy a separate rider to get health insurance? Then when men objected, women shouted them down.
November 10th, 2009 at 11:24 amralph@33, And they are doing just that. These ‘Tea-Baggers’ are going after all the Moderates. They learned nothing from the elections in NY and CA. I guess we should sit back and enjoy the ride.

November 10th, 2009 at 11:37 amHF, so true that the republicans made it so obvious that America needs true Health reform. Republicans had 8 years to do any number of the things they recently put forth. But didn’t.
So yes, the republicans have been instrumental in showing the American public that the time for health reform is now.

November 10th, 2009 at 11:44 amRepugcare amounts to subsidising insurance companies and denying care to our most vulnerable citizens. We send how much money to Israel which has Universal Health Care for all its citizens? I thought Repugs wanted to encourage free enterprise. How many small (one person or family) businesses are being crippled by the greed and inefficiencies of the Health Insurance companies? It is painfully obvious that the GOP has no solutions, but only wants to obstruct progress and abuse women and minorities.
November 10th, 2009 at 11:44 amRepublicans don;t want health care for any American that isn’t wealthy and certainly not for women. Thew GOP’s health care plan is simply “you’re on your own.”

I suppose their nonsensical arguments against reform, their pathetic attempt at a bill of their own, and their general efforts to shoot themselves in the foot may have helped the Democrats in the long run.
But because the people are fed up with the system the way it is now, and they’re hurting without reform, this would have passed even if the Keystone GOPs had done nothing.
November 10th, 2009 at 11:53 amThe anti-abortion Republicans are sexual busybodies, bullies and tyrants. Now it seems that Senator Harry Reid has accepted the Stupid-Crap Amendment to the health care reform bill, thus making it a vehicle for the anti-abortion, anti-woman, anti-sex right wing movement. Heck of a job, Harry…
Since this health reform bill will not allow citizens currently covered by private corporate insurance to switch to the public option, where’s the so-called “competition?” Answer: there is no competition, if we will be forcing people to keep their present private health insurance. It is a lie. This so-called reform is becoming a bad joke…
November 10th, 2009 at 11:54 amHF has a point about republicans and healthcare. The 8 years of republican majorities in both the house and senate proved to the american public just how much the republicans care about the average citizen.
November 10th, 2009 at 11:55 amNow idiots like HF think every crime committed is by a Muslim. No wonder these easily led sheeple are destroying this country.

Maybe they should include wording that allows Insurance Companies to charge higher premiums for right-whiners and self-identified Republicans.
This would be due to right-whiners & Republicans inability to see reality, and might mistake their flawed perceptions and “accidentally” hurt themsleves as they shove their heads further in the sand in their attempt to ignore the truth.
November 10th, 2009 at 12:44 pmThis sort of conduct is merely an extension to the town hall disruptions. These Republicans are trying to intimidate the Dems with this obnoxious conduct to the point where the Speaker of the House needs to step in with sanctions. This conduct will continue in everything related to the legislative process because the Republicans think that if they can’t have their way, then disrupt the proceedings so that others cannot be heard. There are various sanctions that the Speaker can impose including removal from the chamber.
November 10th, 2009 at 12:50 pmBilbo, I also wonder why they didn’t remove the disruptors. The presider certainly has that authority.
The best I could think is that if the repubs were booted from the room, that would just be more ammunition of how fascist the dems are at cramming it down the repub throats (as opposed to the truth: the repubs don’t seem to like civilized discourse).
November 10th, 2009 at 2:00 pmThese people seem to be so submerged in their White Male Power World (a la C Street, I guess) that they have no clue about what is happening in the society around them.
This is reprehensible behavior, and it shows their actual weakness: so really, they should not act like this, with women or anyone else (although I guess their poor relations with the Other Sex must be at the root of some of their personality disorders…)
November 10th, 2009 at 2:25 pmThe right wing political tactics used by Republicans today come right out of the 1969 movie, “Z”.
