CWA: York’s “Submissive Wife” Question Completely Ignorant

The Washington Examiner’s Byron York annoyed the crowd last night when he asked Michele Bachmann if she would be submissive to her husband if elected president. Equally annoyed was Penny Nance, CEO and President of Concerned Women for America:

“I was taken aback once again by the temerity of the media last night. Byron York’s question to Michelle Bachmann about her relationship with her husband was incredibly inappropriate and downright ignorant. Perhaps he should study theology a bit before asking a question about a complex Biblical statement on the home. Secondly, there are one or two men in the group whose wives have such sway in their campaigns that the same question would have more fittingly been asked of them. Gentlemen, grow up.”
