Jane Dee Hull, who served as Governor of Arizona from 1997 to 2003, today scolded Richard Carmona, Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate, for an insensitive comment he made on Thursday regarding the appearance of CNN’s Candy Crowley.
“Making a joke about a
woman's appearance says a lot about someone's character and
judgment,” said former Arizona
Governor Jane Dee Hull. “Why would Richard Carmona think that degrading the
looks of a respected journalist is funny? Legitimate questions have been raised
about Richard Carmona's treatment of women, and his so-called ‘joke’ should make
it clear that Richard Carmona does not respect women.”
Governor Hull also noted
that she was among the Arizonans that recommended Carmona for Surgeon General,
but she has concluded that he simply does not have the right temperament for the
United States Senate.
Councilwoman Higgins, who attended the debate and witnessed
Carmona’s remark, said: “I can say that
there was absolutely no excuse for it. It was in extremely poor judgment. Arizona
voters, especially female voters, deserve an explanation from
Richard Carmona about why he thought an insensitive comment like that was
funny.”
