Raw Story  

Add former Naval War College professor Tom Nichols to those who are wondering today why the Republican Party chose freshman Sen.

Senator Katie Britt of Alabama, she has been considered kind of a rising star in the GOP right now," host Acosta prompted his guest. "That whole business, I think the kitchen locale, you know, I mean it was a little too on the nose for a party that's had problems with women and reproductive rights and women's rights."
