Kirk’s OFFICE Apologizes For Senator’s Comment On Women. No mention of LGBT or African Americans

[RandySF]

CHICAGO (AP) – U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk of Illinois apologized Thursday through a spokeswoman after being caught on a live microphone using a word that’s disparaging to women.

Kirk, who is seeking re-election in 2016, called fellow Republican senator and presidential candidate Lindsey Graham a “bro with no ho,” remarks captured on a live microphone as a U.S. Senate panel conducted a roll call vote in Washington. Graham, of South Carolina, is a lifelong bachelor who’s recently joked he could have a “rotating first lady” if elected to the White House.

“That’s what we’d say on the …” Kirk goes on to say. The rest of the sentence is muffled, but he seems to say “South Side,” a reference to a swath of heavily minority Chicago neighborhoods that stretches south of downtown.

Kirk lives in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park.
