Claire McCaskill Hits State Rep For Using Outdated, Misogynistic Language In Resolution

Missouri State Rep. Mike Moon (R-Ash Grove) invoked language from the Declaration of Independence in a state House resolution to repeal the Affordable Care Act, and U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) is not having any of it.

In a resolution calling on the Missouri congressional delegation — which includes McCaskill, eight U.S. House members and one other U.S. senator — to “endeavor with ‘manly firmness’ and resolve to totally and completely repeal the Affordable Care Act, settling for no less than a full repeal,” Moon borrowed from the portion of the Declaration of Independence airing grievances against King George III.

The Missouri House Health and Mental Health Policy Committee is set to hear the resolution later Tuesday.
