Culture War History Month Continues
“We are seeing the fabric of this country fall apart, and it’s falling apart because of single moms.” —Rick Santorum in a February 1994 campaign appearance. A month later: “What we have is moms raising children in single-parent households simply breeding more criminals.” [Mother Jones]
Lee Atwater would be SOOOOOO proud of Frothy Mix.
This is so 90s.
BTW, Preznit ex Unicorn Barry mostly grew up in a single parent household… oh wait.
@ManchuCandidate: Well yes but that was in Kenya so it doesn’t count. We’re talking about genuine American single moms.
@ManchuCandidate: slick willie was raised by a single mom. I know two 70+ year old women who raised their kids alone and who today would whup frothy’s ass right now for running that mouth. and he better hope their boys don’t catch him first.
turns out frothy drove a subaru and chugged beer at penn state where football coaches prey on fatherless children. guess that’s where frothy learned who to pick on.
