Democrats are a classy bunch. How classy, you ask? Well, let’s go to California Democratic Rep. Norma Torres for an example:
Quote of the day, from the House floor:
Rep. Norma Torres: “Mr. Speaker, it is tiring to hear from so many sex-starved males on this floor talk about a women’s right to choose.”
— Matt Fuller (@MEPFuller) June 12, 2019
Follow up, after Rep. Rob Woodall (R-Ga.) asked Torres if she wanted to change her statement.
Torres: “Mr. Speaker, if it pleases my colleagues on the other side, I will withdraw my statement about sex-starved males on the floor.”

Watch:
"Mr. Speaker, it is tiring to hear from so many sex-starved males on this floor talk about a woman's right to choose."

Are we supposed to be impressed by Torres resorting to tiresome pro-abortion arguments, or … ?
They must be sex starved if they don't want to see babies killed. Only possible explanation.

Everybody catch what state this nobody is from? Solving the homeless/poop/drug/plague problem isn’t a glamorous enough mandate for her. https://t.co/M41J6gD68C

A friend notes that the unconscionably stupid and abhorrent quote so many journalists are excitedly tweeting has an unspoken corollary: "Because players support abortion, and good on them" Doubtful the bright lights in media and politics have considered the implications… https://t.co/AZcOxPi8BB

"Sex starved" males want 0 responsibility. Abortion gives them that. https://t.co/rbXj8L8OuZ

Me: Trump is dumb and juvenile. I wonder if The Other Guys are better.

Way to take the high road once again, Dems.
My, what a productive and well-considered remark from Rep. @NormaJTorres about pro-lifers.https://t.co/VD8Whumduj pic.twitter.com/G2MVEFTXi4

Those who believe that the inexcusably sexist attitudes of some men towards women are not present in some women towards men are deluding themselves. You can talk about "yeah, but who has the power?" all you want, and it's still just as wrong.

Yep.
