Women Leaders To Hold Conference Call on McCain's Refusal To Cut Ties With Fundraiser Clayton Williams

Texas State Senator Leticia Van de Putte and former Chair of the Texas Democratic Party Molly Beth Malcolm will hold a conference call today, Tuesday, June 17th, at 4 pm EDT/3 pm CDT to discuss John McCain's refusal to denounce offensive and misogynist comments made by McCain campaign fundraiser Clayton Williams or return the $300,000 Williams raised on McCain's behalf. Williams stirred controversy during his run for governor of Texas in 1990 when he compared rape to the weather, saying that "As long as it's inevitable, you might as well lie back and enjoy it…" Van de Putte and Malcom will also discuss why Senator McCain is bad for women and how he doesn't understand the issues American women face.
