How out of touch are Republicans? Maybe this examoke will help you answer that question. This Republican actually said that spousal rape is not really rape, because the woman is “sleeping in the same bed” with her husband and she’s “wearing a nightie.”
The statement was made by virginia’s state Sen. Richard H. “Dick” Black.
Democrat Shawn Mitchell had uncovered the 2002 video of Black talking about spousal rape for an attack ad during the 2011 campaign for Virginia state Senate.
