With the GOP health care bill on icon male gay sex videoslife support in the senate, lawmakers are eager to find someone to blame.
One Texas lawmaker focused his frustrations with “some female senators from the Northeast" and tacked on some beyond out-dated and sexist thoughts in a radio interview.
In an interview on "1440 Keys" Friday, Texas Rep. Blake Farenthold spoke about how he wanted to handle the fallout from failing to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act.

Listen to his comments below around the 27-minute mark.
Sure sounds like he really wants to duel the GOP health care bill's opponents, but only the female ones. He can't, though, because they are women.

Cool, that's a normal response in 2017 to a political fail. And no reason to include male senators. That'd be silly.

Sens. Susan Collins, Shelley Moore Capito and Lisa Murkowski came out against Mitch McConnell's bid to straight repeal the ACA, but Sens. Mike Lee and Jerry Moran, both men, effectively sank the proposed replacement bill. And Rand Paul was never on board. So color Farenthold confused about a number of things.
Farenthold is blaming the female senators for stalling the bill, but he's not OK with taking this outside. That would not be appropriate or ladylike.

Farenthold, for the record, was once photographed wearing ducky pajamas with scantily-clad women. He at one time owned the domain name blow-me.org. And he was sued by a former staffer for alleged gender discrimination and for making an uncomfortable work environment.
To recap: Farenthold thinks a man-to-man duel would be the best way to settle health care policy and 2017 gets more ridiculous by the day.
UPDATE 5:01 p.m. PT: Sen. Collins responded to Farenthold's comments and noted that during her 20 years in the Senate "nobody had ever suggested a duel." First time for everything. Except Farenthold wasn't really suggesting a duel with her since she's a woman and all.
