Vice President and baby whisperer Joe Biden on Thursday said the Republican "war on women" is real, and must be won by Democrats in order to install a liberal majority in the Supreme Court. Politico reports:
Vice President Joe Biden said Thursday he believes the right’s "war on women is real" and could be particularly salient during the multiple Supreme Court appointments he expects to come during the next president’s term.
"I think the war on women is real," Biden said in an interview he sat for with MSNBC’s Ed Schultz as part of a campaign trip to New Hampshire to talk up the Buffett rule. "And, look, I tell you where it’s going to intensify: the next president of the United States is going to get to name one and possibly two or more members of the Supreme Court."
Biden's remarks came in the wake of the political firestorm set off by Democratic strategist Hilary Rosen, who accused the wife of presumed GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney of having "never actually worked a day in her life."
Rosen had also suggested that Democrats are not responsible for, and do not use, the term "war on women."
"Can we just get rid of this word, ‘war on women’?" she said Wednesday on CNN. "The Obama campaign does not use it, President Obama does not use it—this is something that the Republicans are accusing people of using, but they’re actually the ones spreading it."
