#DangerousWomen
Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in the House
“To know the condition of a people,” it’s been said,
“one has only to know the status of its women.”
What is the American condition when elected women officials at the highest levels of government are demeaned by their male counterparts? That’s the question for these times. And, can we really expect the rights of women to be upheld—especially Roe v. Wade—in the current political climate?
This week on THE JANUS ADAMS SHOW: #DangerousWomen. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez takes to the House floor when she is verbally assaulted by a male congressman in the most sexist and racist of terms. Hear who supported her . . . and who did not.
