GOP Lawmaker: If Witnesses Saw College Rape, It Was "A Really Great Party"

GOP State Rep. Mike Bocchino

The sickness of the Republican Party simply ceases never to amaze me.  Where else would one see an elected official  say that if witnesses existed to a college campus rape, "it’s a really great party."  The sick individual in question?  Connecticut Republican State Representative Mike Bocchino.  As the father of two daughters, I can only ask WTF is wrong with Bocchino?  The GOP can claim that the GOP war on women is over, but Bocchino and the other foul trolls like him make it clear that such is not the case.  The New Civil Rights Movement has details.  Here are excerpts:

Why can't Republican lawmakers stop the stupid talk about rape. It might as well be labeled the Todd Akin syndrome, but it extends back much further than the disgraced Missouri former Congressman.

You'll remember, of course, it was Akin in August of 2012 who claimed "if it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down."

There have been countless others since, some joking about rape, others serious in their ignorance of what rape actually is, or how it affects victims, both physically and emotionally.

Today you can add Connecticut Republican State Representative to the shameful list.

During a debate on a campus sexual assault bill Tuesday, Connecticut state Rep. Mike Bocchino offered up an unwise opinion. The bill would require both parties about to engage in an intimate or otherwise sexual moment to both consent by saying "yes."

"No question that sexual assault is a horrific thing," Bocchino, who voted for the bill, told his colleagues. "No question that date rape things that happen on college campuses are disgusting," he added. "Because at the end of the day, there are no witnesses…or at least if there are, it’s a really great party."

Nearly 24 hours later, Bocchino finally offered a statement that incorrectly characterizes and incorrectly quotes his comments,a nd offers a slim apology.

Bocchino actually said, "it’s a really great party," not "some kind of party." 

Bocchino is one sick bastard. Why do I suspect that he also campaigns as a "family values" Christian?
