The war on women continues.

Barbara Comstock, currently a member of Virginia’s House of Delegates, is running for Congress in the state’s tenth district — where local Democrats says she is getting a pass at the polls because of her sex. The district’s Democratic party tweeted yesterday:
[email protected] If @barbaracomstock were a man, she’d be down 20 pts w women. Her record & policies are horrible for women. But voters assume…
— VA 10th Democrats (@VA10thDemocrats) September 19, 2014The tweet was in response to Comstock’s latest ad condemning her Democratic opponent, John Foust, for “sexist” comments. Last month Foust told a Leesburg audience, “I don’t think she’s even had a real job.”
Comstock’s campaign issued the following statement –
John Foust’s statement is offensive. This attack insults working women, federal employees, lawyers, small businesswomen, and Moms at home – all of whom have real jobs and pay the very real taxes that John Foust raises and advocates. This desperate attack shows how out of touch he is with who it is that lives and works in the 10th District and the challenges that working women, working Moms and Moms at home face every day by men who demean their many and demanding roles. We understand the desperation of Democrats this year but this was beyond the pale.
