Shame On You, Rush Limbaugh
Shame On You, Rush Limbaugh
HON. JACKIE SPEIER
OF CALIFORNIA
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
March 1, 2012
(Ms. SPEIER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Ms. SPEIER. Mr. Speaker, I rise this morning to say to Rush Limbaugh,
"Shame on you."
Shame on you for being the hatemonger that you are. Shame on you for being misogynistic. Shame on you for calling the women of this country sluts and prostitutes, because that's what he did.
Ninety-eight percent of the women in this country, at some time in their lives, use birth control. And yet he went on the air recently and called Sandra Fluke a slut and a prostitute because she was trying to access birth control pills as a third-year law student at Georgetown.
So I say to the women in this country, Do something about this. I say to the women of this country, Ask Century 21, Quicken Loans, Legal Zoom, and Sleep Number to stop supporting the hatemongering of Rush Limbaugh, and if they do not do that, then I ask them to boycott those companies.
