The News Journal thinks Carper’s song was sexist. I think he was his normal awkward self, although maybe even a little more uneasy around actual humans these days.
Mama always said, “If you don’t have anything nice to say, then don’t say anything at all.”
Because words have power, and when it comes to accuracy and inferences, it’s better to stay quiet than say something that you may not be able to apologize for.
U.S. Sen. Tom Carper’s remarks prior to Hillary Clinton’s campaign appearance Monday in Wilmington have been called “awkward.”
Especially concerning was the senator’s reference to the Donna Summer song “She Works Hard For the Money.”
If Hillary Clinton were a man, would a U.S. senator lead a crowd in singing a song titled, “He works hard for the money?”
We think not.
