NJ Republican stands by 'whore' tweet

New Jersey State Senate candidate Phil Mitsch wasn't talking to Snooki when he offered this tip: "Women, you increase your odds of keeping your men by being faithful, a lady in the living room and a whore in the bedroom." He was talking to his near 45,000 Twitter followers. Yes, he tweeted it back in on Sept. 2.

I shared the tweet with a friend. She said, "That's gotta be hacked." But no, it's real. It was sent out on Sept. 2 and hasn't been deleted. Actually, Mitsch stands by the tweet, according to UPI.com:

"That's a great tip," he said at a meeting Wednesday with the editorial board. "That shows the utmost respect for women. … What I was trying to say to men was, 'Men, look, if you got to go out and play around and you can't be honest with a woman and respect her, then you're better off just doing pay, play, and get the 'F' away.'"

Pay, play and get the 'F' away. Truer words were never spoken.

UPDATE: Mitsch has finally apologized for the offending tweet, as reported on THE BLAZE front page.
