By Holly Ramer, Associated Press



CONCORD, N.H. — A New Hampshire state senator unaware he was unmuted during a remote hearing Wednesday apologized after calling a female colleague a vulgar name.

Sen. Sharon Carson, a Republican from Londonderry, was leading the meeting of the Executive Departments and Administration Committee when she briefly paused the committee's work.

"I'm sorry, my daughter is currently hospitalized and her doctor is on the phone. I'm going to put the committee in recess for 10 minutes," she said, according to a video posted to Twitter by WMUR Political Director Adam Sexton.

"Nobody else can do anything. Right," said Sen. John Reagan, R-Deerfield, followed by the vulgarity.

Here's the quote: "So nobody else can do anything, right," he said. "B*tch."

Ah, those GQP family values...

[yardwork]

1. Blatant hatred and disdain for women, right on mic.

7. Hatred of women AND children.

The only children they like are fetuses.

[chia]

2. These remote/zoom/'I thought I was muted' mishaps remind me of the C.S. Lewis quote:

Integrity is doing the right thing, even when no one is watching.

(or listening...)

4. And apparently

This is a concept that is 100% foreign to Mr. Pence, who cannot be trusted to be alone with a woman.

6. haha good observation

3. Everything he said was bad

He complained about a 10 minute delay so she could talk to her hospitalized daughter’s doctor. He was an asshole before he got to the b word.

5. "Open-mic goof".

Yeah, it was the microphone's fault...
