Miss. candidate stands by his rule: No time alone with a female reporter
A Mississippi Republican running for governor and a female reporter seeking to spend a day with him on the campaign trail squared off Thursday morning on CNN over his refusal to be alone with her.
The candidate, state Rep. Robert Foster, stood by his decision to insist that reporter Larrison Campbell bring a male colleague if she wanted a “ride-along” in his truck because he “just wanted to keep things professional” and avoid “a lot of opportunities where it would’ve been an awkward situation.”
“I didn’t want to end up in a situation where me and Ms. Campbell were alone for an extended period of time throughout that 15- to 16-hour day. And so out of precaution, I wanted to have her bring someone with her, a male colleague,” Foster said over the phone in a live interview with CNN’s John Berman Thursday. Campbell was also on-air.----- “I’m not ever going to be put in a situation with any female to where they could make an accusation against me and there’s not a witness there to refute that accusation.”
Do you blame him?
with the out of control #MeToo movement with its multitude of false accusations ones that can ruin not just ones pollical career but lives why take that chance why put your self in situation that can allow that to happen?
Its sad its come to this that men have to protect themselves from false accusations by not allowing to be put in a situation that allows it to happen,
but it is what it is and woman have no one to blame but themselves
