Powers is correct: Biggs surely would have been fired by now if he had directed his misogynistic venom toward First Lady Michelle Obama rather than Ann Romney and Janna Ryan.
Indeed, others have been fired for far less.
Twitter was glad to see Powers weighing in on the side of decency:
@kirstenpowers10 @jasonbiggs thank you, kirsten.
