Fox News guest insists letting women vote was a mistake

5/8/2012

Earlier this year, the notoriously outspoken Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson posted a YouTube video claiming "one of the greatest mistakes America made" was giving women the right to vote -- because they "get upset, just like that." Silly ladies and their silly emotions! But when Peterson recently paid a visit to Sean Hannity's Fox News program -- which he's appeared on numerous times -- he didn't apologize for what he said. He stuck by his comments, insisting he has "a responsibility to tell the truth." Luckily, it's unlikely anyone will pay much attention to Peterson's version of the truth: He's previously argued black people should be put back to work on "plantations," and that President Obama "hates white people."
