According to Connecticut’s CTNewsJunie.com, a group of women calling themselves “Moms Opposing McMahon” gathered Wednesday morning in a park to protest Republican Linda McMahon’s bid for United States Senate. The group’s leader, Leslie Simoes, said this about McMahon:

“We oppose McMahon’s candidacy and attempts to reinvent herself as a proven jobs creator when in reality she has profited by marketing violence against women and mistreatment of her employees.”

WWE has since responded to the claims made by “Moms Opposing McMahon”:

“All WWE broadcast programming is TV-PG, rated not by us, but by the standards and practices departments of our TV network distributors, while the majority of today’s prime time programming is rated TV-14. Five million women watch WWE’s weekly TV programming, representing nearly 40 percent of our TV audience. Women would not be watching if they found our programming objectionable.”

If anything WWE empowers women as everytime they have been pushed around for a storyline they have fought back!

Lmao this whole campaign is going tits off. This is WWE's like fourth statement on her campaign so far -- all have been defending her against all sorts of claims.

While WWE is right on this one, the crazies out there will band together as always. You can never stop the radicals, those people are the right combination of dedicated and insane.

(It's CTNewsJunkie, noobs at SEScoops. Proofread your shit.)

As Mr. Cobalt just said, WWE's right on this and they have the facts to back it up. Still, this crazy amount of backlash towards her campaign can't be a good thing, can it? Most voters don't pay attention to actual important things and just go with the popular opinion, and things like this seem to sway that quite a bit. Controversy creates cash, but not votes.

No Crayo, I'm not stupid, why?
Because I pointed out you didn't know the website name correctly?

Yeah, it's statistically proven that a larger (slightly, but larger) percent of women vote. With her obvious connection to wrestling, that's already a hit against her sadly. By constantly mentioning it, the moms are going to band together against the violence. It'll be kind of like in the South Park movie with them vs Canada.

In the meantime, those same moms that bitch about WWE being "too violent" will go out and buy their 12 year olds Mortal Kombat and Call of Duty. Wrestling and violent games are both okay, the problem is the hypocrisy by people that one is good and one is bad.
