Republicans Unaware of Candidate’s Views on Women

A Kentucky Republican official said the committee that recently selected Calvin Leach (R) as the GOP’s state Senate District 37 nominee was not aware of a blog post he authored that described women in vulgar and sexist terms, the Louisville Courier Journal reports.

Leach lamented his “encounter with the dating scene” and referred to women as “promiscuous skanks” who have been “put on a pedestal by society” and only date for personal gain.

He added: “These girls are soulless parasites. Don’t walk away. Run.”
