Virginia GOP candidate: Spousal rape isn’t a crime if she is ‘wearing a nightie’

After losing all major statewide races to Democrats for the first time in 24 years, Republicans in Virginia are pushing to replace a moderate GOP congressman with a candidate so conservative that he doesn’t even believe that spousal rape should be a crime.

On Wednesday, Mother Jones pointed out that state Sen. Richard H. “#######” Black, who is running to take over retiring Rep. Frank Wolf’s seat, had fought against making spousal rape a crime because the woman was “sleeping in the same bed, she’s in a nightie.”

Democrat Shawn Mitchell had uncovered the 2002 video of Black talking about spousal rape for an attack ad during the 2011 campaign for Virginia state Senate.

“I do not know how you could validly get a conviction of a husband-wife rape, when they’re living together, sleeping in the same bed, she’s in a nightie and so forth,” Black says. “There’s not injuries, there’s no separation or anything.”

The guy is an idiot If he doesn't understand what spousal rape is or how it can happen he should do a bit of research instead of making factually inept comments.

But if you're in a nightie, aren't you just asking for it?

Women have their duties to perform for their husbands. It is in the marriage contract. - "To love, honor, and obey."

But if you're in a nightie, aren't you just asking for it?

Depends. Sometimes that flannel night shirt hides better.

Better yet, just don't talk. The R next to your name on the ballot is good for an automatic 45% of the vote anyway.

In politics, 50.000001% is an A.

Must have been a liberal uni. 60 was barely passing in real American schools. Anything below that was fail,

Except when electing a President.

Even in electing a President. The question is, 50%+1 of what?

Liberal uni? Does that even exist? Universities are run by political parties now? Weird.

Conservative universities do exist. Liberty University, for example. Doesn't have to be run by a party, just has to be dominated by a group of people who share an ideology.
