A GOP precinct chair in Utah wrote on Facebook this week that he thinks giving voting rights to women was a “grave mistake.”

“The more I study history, the more I think giving voting rights to others not head of household has been a grave mistake,” Casey Fisher, a Davis County precinct chair who oversees Republican caucuses in his district, wrote on Sunday.

Fisher deleted both the post and his Facebook account when he began receiving angry messages, according to Davis County GOP chairwoman Teena Horlacher, who defended Fisher in an interview with The Salt Lake Tribune.

“The sentiment was along the lines of what our Founding Fathers believed in,” she said.

1. The sentiment was along the lines of what our Founding Fathers believed in,

They believed in slavery, they believed in indentured servitude, they believed in poor houses, they believed that women like Teena Horlacher should be given rights as determined by men!!!

Let's conduct an experiment, Teena Horlacher and other Republican women, who love to defend misogynists, should be treated like women were treated in the 18th century...and then after 6 months they can go on Dr. Phil and tell us all how much they loved it!!!

Funny how the republicans always forget about slavery and genocide against Native Americans when talking about "the good old days" huh?

5. Odd thought from the state that was either first or second to give women the vote.
