West took his tirade a step further, asserting that Schultz was “not a lady.”

The congressman’s personal attacks showcase a recurring misogynistic theme in politics. Being called vile, despicable and cowardly is insulting enough, but when resorting to gender-based attacks one has reached an all-time low.

Why would a member of Congress cry wolf and of all things, do it via the Internet? An adult should be able to address conflict headstrong and with integrity, but I digress. It’s no surprise that West acted in such a manner, however, considering he’s a freshman member of Congress, and he has apparently not learned the basics of “couth 101.”
