WASHINGTON - U.S. Republicans chagrined by how few women their party has serving in Congress are launching an initiative on Wednesday aimed at reversing the trend in the 2020 elections, though steep fundraising, recruitment and policy hurdles lie ahead.

“Our numbers are so low, it’s become appalling,” said Olivia Perez-Cubas, spokeswoman for the WFW Action Fund. “At this point in the 2017 cycle, it probably would have been a third of that,” Conway said, noting many of the women are looking to run in the competitive swing seats Republicans lost when Democrats seized control of the House in the mid-term elections last year.

“You are talking about a situation where of the 127 women who serve in Congress, House and Senate, 106 are Democrats and 21 are Republicans. That’s the biggest difference we’ve ever seen,” Walsh said.

If only they can stop stopping women from doing what they want in their own lives

Think about this: There are literally fewer Republican women in the House now than there were in 1995. Think about that.

If their husbands let them.

Yes, the man hating vipers are a threat to our freedom.

Lmao

LOLOLOL.... As though they think the Republican voters would allow that. They don’t believe women should rule over men.

Luck with that. No way the party of misogyny will support that.

Oxymorons

Yes, with their views about women's rights...

Incomprehensible how women can be Republicans now

White House will assert immunity for Hope Hicks during congressional testimonyDems on the House Judiciary Committee plan to question Pres. Trump's long-time confidante Hope Hicks about her knowledge of the hush-money scheme to silence Trump's extramarital affairs in the run-up to the 2016 elections, according to a committee aide Yawn. I hope they ask her about her sexual encounters with the POTUS. Lol. It's no longer Russia. The bar (or is it Barr?) is constantly shifting. Best advice: stop the witch hunt, they're injuring themselves.
