When Donald Trump interrupted Hillary Clinton during the final presidential debate to blurt that she was a "nasty woman," many liberals took up the designation with pride. Not everyone agrees the words are something to rally around, though. After being asked if Trump's comment was "appropriate" on The Alan Colmes Show on Thursday, Rep. Brian Babin (R-Texas) insisted the line was entirely called for:
COLMES: You think it's appropriate to call her a nasty woman?REP. BABIN: Well I'm a genteel Southern gentleman, Alan.COLMES: So does that mean no?REP. BABIN: No, I think sometimes a lady needs to be told when she's being nasty. [Fox News]
