Former Rep. Beto O'Rourke said he had been wrong for joking at several events in his first two days campaigning in Iowa that his wife has been raising their three children, 'sometimes with my help'
Cedar Rapids, Iowa Beto O'Rourke said Friday night that he had been wrong for joking at several events in his first two days campaigning in Iowa that his wife has been raising their three children"sometimes with my help."
The former congressman from Texas, who launched his bid for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination Thursday, addressed the remarks during a recording of the podcast Political Party LIVE! in Cedar Rapids. The comments triggered complaints from Democratic operatives and activists, many of them women, that female candidates could never similarly joke about their roles raising their children.
