SHAME ON YOU, RUSH LIMBAUGH
(Ms. SPEIER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Ms. SPEIER. Mr. Speaker, I rise this morning to say to Rush Limbaugh,
``Shame on you.''
Shame on you for being the hatemonger that you are. Shame on you for
being misogynistic. Shame on you for calling the women of this country
sluts and prostitutes, because that's what he did.
Ninety-eight percent of the women in this country, at some time in
their lives, use birth control. And yet he went on the air recently and
called Sandra Fluke a slut and a prostitute because she was trying to
access birth control pills as a third-year law student at Georgetown.
So I say to the women in this country, Do something about this. I say
to the women of this country, Ask Century 21, Quicken Loans, Legal
Zoom, and Sleep Number to stop supporting the hatemongering of Rush
Limbaugh, and if they do not do that, then I ask them to boycott those
companies.
