GOP Candidate Said Women Shouldn’t Vote

September 21, 2022 · 6:11 pm ET · Leave a Comment

Michigan congressional candidate John Gibbs (R) once railed against giving women the right to vote, arguing that America has “suffered” since women’s suffrage, CNN reports.

Gibbs “also made comments in the early 2000s praising an organization trying to repeal the 19th Amendment which also argued that women’s suffrage had made the United States into a ‘totalitarian state.’”
