Republican Strategist Steve Schmidt had some harsh words for his own party on Sunday, criticizing the GOP's standing on equal opportunity for women.
As part of an NBC "Meet The Press" roundtable discussing gender roles in the workplace, Schmidt vowed that any organization where women are "not at the table" is "going to have problems."
"Its one of the problems we have structurally in the Republican Party ... Any company, any organization in todays day and age that doesnt give equal opportunity to women, that doesnt advance women to the table, is going to be an organization that has difficulty competing," Schmidt said.
The Republican Party struggled in 2012 with women voters, thanks to a series of controversial viewpoints on topics ranging from birth control to rape.
