It appears former Vice Chair\u00a0of the Wasatch Republican Party, James Green, has done the latter. The Washington Post&#8217;s Kristina Guerra wrote a scathing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/news\/post-nation\/wp\/2017\/02\/19\/utah-republican-argues-against-equal-pay-for-women-its-bad-for-families-and-society\/?utm_term=.6b8b391a3013#comments\">1,300 word article<\/a> about Green&#8217;s letter and the aftermath. Her story has received almost 900 comments in one day.<\/p>\n<p>The only one who still doesn&#8217;t seem to get that Green&#8217;s comments were off-base is Green himself. According to the article in response to the situation he said, &#8220;There was no offense intended toward Women, whatsoever. And yet some took it that way. To those who were offended, I profusely apologize. I sincerely did not mean to do that.\u201d \u00a0He didn&#8217;t say, &#8220;I&#8217;m sorry&#8221; or &#8220;My comments on women were wrong.&#8221; No, it appears he\u00a0was sorry if his\u00a0prejudice towards women offended anyone. Crazy.<\/p>\n<p>If you are a Republican leader in Summit County, and want a chance of winning any race, your damage control probably now includes female voters (as well as all those groups impacted from actions out of the White House).<\/p>\n<p>The only silver lining\u00a0we can see coming from this debacle came in\u00a0the comments section of the Washington Post article:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Utah is a wacko state.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Yep. We love that.\u00a0If enough people think Utah is bat-shit crazy, maybe a few will\u00a0stay home. Not that we don&#8217;t welcome our visitors.
