“From what I understand, which is not much, when my party rapes the American public, it has a way of shutting down.”
(St. Louis, MO) Rep. Todd Akin made a follow-up appearance on KTVI-TV today to explain his controversial comment that women who are “legitimately raped” do not get pregnant.
“I mis-spoke and I’m terribly sorry. What I meant to say was that When the AMERICAN PUBLIC is legitimately raped by my party, they have a way of shutting down so they won’t get hurt. That’s what I’ve heard from an economist friend of mine.”
“See, I don’t support any kind of controls on Wall Street or banks because I know when the American public gets legitimately raped by them, it isn’t really affected.”
“If the American public complains about it, how do we know it wasn’t asking for it?”
“They shouldn’t have choice. There should be no exceptions. Even if the economy dies.”
