GOP Senator Caught Calling Teenage Staff ‘Beautiful Girls’

Sen. Roger Wicker (R-MS) has been roundly criticized after he was caught in footage calling underage teenagers “beautiful girls,” Yahoo News reports.

Wicker was speaking to Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) on the Senate floor, who said one Senate page was from one of the most beautiful places in the country. A C-SPAN video shows Wicker gesturing towards a group of female pages and saying: “I thought you were going to say this was one of the most beautiful girls. What about these others?”
