Wisconsin Republican Senate candidate Eric Hovde made an appearance on Newsmax last week, where an awkward dodge made him imply that he has nothing good to say about female voters or women.

When Newsmax anchor Tom Basile asked about Hovde’s plan to appeal to female voters, the candidate responded by saying he takes a page out of President Ronald Reagan’s book.

“It’s just not my way, I’m kind of like President Reagan, if I don’t have something good to say about somebody, I don’t say it,” Hovde said, supposedly talking about his opponent Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D).

Hovde went on to say that Baldwin’s record is horrible and she is a “big do-nothing.”

Since launching his campaign, Hovde’s record of disparaging comments has become a subject of discussion. During his previous Senate run in 2012, Hovde bashed women for having children out of wedlock. More recently, Hovde claimed that morning-after pills are the same as abortion and compared them to narcotics.
