The president of the National Organization for Women may have said it’s wrong for anyone to call a woman a “whore,” but the head of the California NOW affiliate says Republican gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman still is one.
California NOW President Parry Bellasalma told the TPM blog on Thursday that the description of the Republican candidate for governor of California is accurate.
“Meg Whitman could be described as ‘a political whore.’ Yes, that’s an accurate statement,” Bellasalma said after a TPM blogger called to ask her about a story that appeared on the Daily Caller website.
In the Daily Caller report, Bellasalma said a conversation recorded by a voicemail system after Whitman’s Democratic opponent, Jerry Brown, thought he’d hung up on the Los Angeles Police Protective League demonstrates that Whitman is a sell-out and thus deserving of the description.
“The very troubling issue that is embedded in that call is what prompted the description of Meg as a ‘whore’ is basically that she sold out Californians for an endorsement and a $450,000 independent expenditure campaign,” Bellasalma told the Daily Caller.
