A St. Louis mother is angry after her six year-old child was subjected to a McCaskill robocall about rape and birth control. When she called the McCaskill campaign to inquire about the call, the campaign was huffy and hung up on her after stating “everyone has their opinion.”
The mother explained on my radio show this afternoon that her six year-old answered the phone because he was expecting a call from his father. When the child fell silent for a minute after answering the phone, the mother asked why he wasn’t talking. He then asked her “What is rape?” before handing her the phone. The call took place shortly after 3 p.m. central time this week.
The mother says she wants an apology from the McCaskill campaign for the graphic nature of the call and from the campaign for treating her rudely when she called to ask about the call.
