Eric Hovde About Women Voters: “If I don’t have something good to say about somebody, I don’t say it”

MADISON, Wis. — Yesterday, Heartland Signal reported that Eric Hovde disrespected women again, saying he has nothing good to say about women voters. In a Newsmax interview over the weekend, Hovde answered a question about how he’d appeal to women voters by saying “if I don’t have something good to say about somebody, I don’t say it.”

This comes as no surprise, as Hovde has spent his entire campaign insulting Wisconsinites, especially women, including claiming that women aren’t engaged with politics because they “spend too much time focused with what’s going on in Hollywood.” He’s regularly disparaged the people of Wisconsin, including single parents, nursing home residents, people struggling with their weight, farmers, and more.

Eric Hovde on appealing to female voters: ‘If I don’t have something good to say about somebody, I don’t say it’
By: Richard Eberwein

Wisconsin Republican Senate candidate Eric Hovde made an appearance on Newsmax last week, where an awkward dodge made him imply that he has nothing good to say about female voters or women.

When Newsmax anchor Tom Basile asked about Hovde’s plan to appeal to female voters, the candidate responded by saying he takes a page out of President Ronald Reagan’s book.

“It’s just not my way, I’m kind of like President Reagan, if I don’t have something good to say about somebody, I don’t say it,” Hovde said, supposedly talking about his opponent Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D).

Since launching his campaign, Hovde’s record of disparaging comments has become a subject of discussion. During his previous Senate run in 2012, Hovde bashed women for having children out of wedlock. More recently, Hovde claimed that morning-after pills are the same as abortion and compared them to narcotics.
