A Republican candidate running for governor in Mississippi denied a reporter access because she is a woman, the reporter wrote in an essay published inLarrison Campbell claims that after she attempted to shadow state Rep.
"Perception is everything. We are so close to the primary," he reportedly told Campbell."And that's why we have to be careful." , tweeting:"Before our decision to run, my wife and I made a commitment to follow the 'Billy Graham Rule,' which is to avoid any situation that may evoke suspicion or compromise of our marriage. I am sorry Ms. Campbell doesn't share these views, but my decision was out of respect of my wife."
Wrong o wrong wrong. He just required of her that she have a male companion. The left is so quick to find any possible accusation that can be made against a republican for any reason, that he is doing this to protect himself and his family.
He’s from Mississippi. Would you expect anything less?🤪
I do enjoy the responses from WOMEN who are so angry when they see what a MAN puts up with everyday and every time they take photos of their OWN children in a playground or why they don’t go to a bathroom ALONE, or what they are meant to do if a MAN approached THEM in a car park
It is terrible that when a man shows respect to his wife by refusing to ride alone with a woman in his truck for 15 straight hours, he is attacked by the left and the media. Why does the left despise all morals and values?
Marilyn31682963 He is still living in the Wild West and is not an human being
It goes to show that that Republican is still living in the 1950s when it’s actually 2019. Don’t be such a sexist!
He needs a doctor!
He should not be running for office
Stop promoting this tool like you want him to be elected. Every story makes him stronger.
Women should not be able too report thing's! Were a Christian nation!
And once again Mississippi proves why it’s the worst state in America...
'Our campaign simply cannot afford an outbreak of cooties at this time.'
He makes a very good point. Remember there are politicians like Alex Cortez that say if she said it (a woman) it must be true.
When I look at that picture I feel like I'm looking into a vast black hole of stupid.
In most states, you have to be older than 12, to run for office...
Tuesday evening, Foster responded to Campbell's article, tweeting: 'Before our decision to run, my wife and I made a commitment to follow the 'Billy Graham Rule,' which is to avoid any situation that may evoke suspicion or compromise of our marriage....
I’ll shall not commit adultery is also in the Bible but that doesn’t seem to stop Republicans. That’s still not bear false witness that doesn’t stop Republicans.
douchebag
This man is an entitled coward that should not be in office.
Those “Christian” boys need to get help, if you can’t control yourself around women & sexualize every relationship that’s a problem!
Stop goving him attention
Another Republican Liar,they must be inspired by Trump
He obviously just prefers young men. No shame.
This story is getting old fast. Why doesn't Newsweek post something new?
What this really says is that robie and his wife both know that he’s a pig and can’t be trusted. The state of Mississippi deserves better than this regressive jerk!
Every media outlet should send only female reporters to cover him so that he can learn a lesson or two about manners, equality, and justice.
Something's not right with this guy, you want to bet?
Just bring your wife along with you that will stop any attempt to smear you
We live in such crazy times
Really have to wonder if there is a reason why there appears to be such a lack of trust in his marriage.
Paranoid moron.
What’s wrong with that?
He didn’t deny access. He simply is protecting his reputation by making sure she can’t make false allegations against him as liberal women love to do by requiring an additional person to accompany her.
From the look of him he should be more worried about photos with male journalists 😉
This is on you, MeToo . And he didn't deny her access, he insisted on a chaperone.
In this toxic metoo 'movement' I can understand why he stands firm. You cannot trust anyone in this toxic environment!!! Cudos to him!!!
He’s entitled to his own wack beliefs, but he’ll always just be known as ‘candidate’ because of them.
A woman can accuse of man of anything - and be believed - no proof is needed - no jury - just an accusation - he’s wise (I’m a dem btw)
What a sexist piece of 💩
That's because Dems make up things about you and try to make it stick.
I don't blame him. He is not denying her anything but him being alone with her. Stop lying Newsweek. Your headline is a flat out lie! Are you vying to be the number fake news outlet in American now? Trying to beat CNN?
I wonder what happens if a gay reporter rides with him in the back of a limo?
Well, his insistence that women are evil is what would make me hesitate to let any woman or girl be in his presence unprotected. Perhaps he can't control himself (which makes him unfit to lead anything, let alone a government position).
When the left which includes lies, steals and cheats to win, what do you expect? See what you tried to do to Kavanaugh. You’ll are destroying real victims ability to be heard. If he took one ride in private the liberal propaganda press would be saying he raped her.
Men can be accused by another man as being a closeted gay sexual predator. Does this mean that every man needs to have someone else present all the time, so he can't be accused?
Amazing that we have several southern states competing to be the most regressive/backwards oppressive to women.
Mississippi “The state of burning crucifixes and crazy gubernatorial candidates”
Just like Muslin extremists- men are such pigs - they can’t control their - RAPE - instinct. So avoid all temptation. This - “ Christian” is no - STANDING MAN !
GOOD! WOMEN WILL DESTROY YOU IF YOU DO! THEY CANT BE TRUSTED!
We can all assume if he becomes Governor there will be no female employees unless they have a man with them to walk 5 steps behind all day long.
for the 5th time...how about no reporters or journalist follow him....NONE OF THEM!!!
So basically saying he can’t be trusted not to rape a queer woman. Got it.
This really is a non issue.
Why bother covering him anyways?
For people who are so afraid of Sharia law coming to America, the GOP seems to welcome it with open arms.
he literally said ppl would expect him to assault a woman and then added ppl would expect him to assault a woman regardless of her sexuality
He can't be trusted with women, and he's proud of it SMH
Muh truck, Muh rules - Robert Foster
Dear White Men: Time to grow a pair. Your time is running out. Women are coming for you, honey.
This is drumpf's america, stupid and regressive.
In future news, Mississippi Republican governor exposed for multiple affairs prior to his election campaign.
He’s obviously a danger to women
This guy is a first-term State Senator on a publicity binge. His 15 minutes were up 48 hours ago. I ridicule him, because what he has to say is ridiculous.
In today's Social Climate it's my opinion they Both have a Valid Point... People go by the way it Looks... Not the way it IS...
He is telling every woman to vote against him.
It’s the “sticking to my guns” that makes him so precious.
Republicans are the Tyrant Leaders. Women are only here to get on their knees for men.
He’s afraid of women. He’s never been with one.
To protect himself from accusations and rumors
Why would anyone vote for a piece of 💩 so morally unfit that he can’t trust himself around women?
He cant trust himself or his wife doesn’t trust him. That’s what he should say.
Send only female reporters and camera people
As well he should is this age of metoo! If he's ever a SCOTUS nominee, he doesn't need any false accusations that CAN'T be proven which is a classic Democrat strategy! 3 most important things for politicians? Witnesses, witnesses, witnesses!
That’s the GOP
Married man doesn’t want female reporter to shadow him alone on 16 hour car ride in his truck. Can a male reporter shadow a female under similar situation just because he asked? What is she was uncomfortable and asked him to bring a female along. Is it wrong now?
The southern states are years behind the rest of US with their antiquated ideas.
What a misleading title. Luckily the actual article provides better insight
To Everywoman in Mississippi you can vote him out
Mississippi GOP gubernatorial candidate doubles down on denying reporter access because she's a woman and not a handsome young boy
Every single reporter should agree NOT to cover this candidate until he changes his position.
'halp I can't be alone with a woman because they're nothing but sexual objects to me'
Is he afraid he can’t control himself around women? Because no women would touch that
Wow misleading AF, the title alone should be considered slander.
FFS
This should not be allowed!!!
