A spokesman for Rep. Nan Hayworth (R-N.Y.) is facing criticism after advocating violence against female Democratic senators in a Facebook post.

Jay Townsend, the official campaign spokesman for the freshman representative, went on a vicious online rant on Saturday, which he began by taunting a constituent who voiced criticism about an earlier post on gas prices. "Listen to Tom. What a little bee he has in his bonnet. Buzz Buzz," Townsend wrote.

"My question today... when is Tommy boy going to weigh in on all the Lilly Ledbetter hypocrites who claim to be fighting the War on Women? Let’s hurl some acid at those female democratic Senators who won’t abide the mandates they want to impose on the private sector."

He attached a link to a Free Beacon article that claims female senators pay their male staffers more than their female staffers.

A moderator of the NY19 U.S. House of Representatives Civil Discussion Center page responded to Townsend, asking him to "please refrain from calling our members names." The unnamed moderator also asked if Hayworth knew about his comments or whether he had "gone rogue."

Comments from outraged constituents quickly followed. "‎'Hurl some acid' Jay Townsend? Do you realize what that means?" wrote one person. "Acid attacks are particularly brutal, aimed almost solely at women, with the intent to maim and disfigure. I couldn't imagine a worse piece of invective from someone who puts the Republican war on women in quotes."

Another commenter: "Mr. Townsend, do you think we live in Afghanistan?"

Richard Becker, a Democrat running to challenge Hayworth this year, released a statement on Townsend's incendiary comments.

From his campaign spokesman Barry Caro: "I'd be fired -- immediately and with cause -- if I said stuff like this. Which begs the question: why is Jay Townsend still Nan Hayworth's spokesman. ... Does she agree that we should 'hurl some acid' at politicians her campaign disagrees with? These comments are simply unprofessional and should never cross the lips of a Congressional spokesman."

"This isn't some obscure supporter or no-name right wing provocateur, and we're not playing 'six degrees of condemnation.' This is Nan Hayworth's official campaign spokesman saying some truly disturbing things on her behalf. The people of this district deserve to know whether Nan thinks what her spokesman is saying is ok -- and if not, what she's going to do about it."

HuffPost reached out to Hayworth for comment. This post will be updated if she responds.

Townsend is no stranger to politics: In 2010, the GOP strategist ran for Senate against Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and lost.

In an ironic twist, Townsend also maintains a Facebook page called "How to Run for Public Office" offering free "campaign and communications tips."

It's safe to say he could use a refresher.

He was being sarcastic, and mocking the entire ' war on women' meme, by making his own absurd remark.

If you're stupid enough to think he was being serious, then you're just the sort of idiot who believes this ' war on woman' crap. It's all a complete ruse, made up, astro turfed crap, the Left has to phony up, to keep folks from looking at the economy, stupid.

I get that, and given your previous statements about women, I find it easy to believe you feel that way. It explains why you think it's "absurd" that women could possibly be offended by jokes about throwing acid at them.

I'm sure you find rape humor really funny, too. We already know you find statutory rape of underage girls hilarious.

And yes, it is ironic that you claim there's no "war on women" by telling rape jokes and making fun of schoolgirls who have acid thrown in their faces.

Being an idiot is not a matter of party.

I've heard Republicans talking that way about Democrats. It's not acceptable from either side, yet tolerated (in the media) if the victim is Republican.

I doubt anyone involved in this case advocates throwing acid on anyone...its a figure of speech.

Never said, well anything you claim. Never made fun of school girls having acid thrown on them, never joked about rape, and I did mention that I was repeating a Stephen Wright joke, and STILL you just continue to lie and distort the facts, taking things completely out of context, and clearly showing your unyielding obsession to every word I say.

You must have some sort of alter set up for me, I bet, huh?

No kidding.


Apparently Rappy and "Hero" hang with some very creepy Republicans, if they use figures of speech like this in their everyday conversations.



"I supported Bush in 2000 and 2004 and intellegence [sic] had very little to do with that decision." - Hero

Mitt Romney, introducing his running mate: "Join me in welcoming the next President of the United States, Paul Ryan!"

Rappy's response? "You're lying, gullible ( believing in some BS you heard on msnbc ) or hard of hearing."

You just can't fix stupid. This is Rappy's party. These are the people he supports here, every day.

I guess you condemn the creators of Batman...they advocate throwing acid on public officials for entertainment purposes.

Wasn't the arch villain the victim of the acid attack.

This is what Rappy and "Hero" think is really funny stuff to joke about:



This was Fakhra Yunus. While she was sleeping, her husband poured acid all over her face, disfiguring her for life. After 38 surgeries and years of torment, in March of 2012 she took her own life. No one was prosecuted for this crime.


Funny stuff if you're a Republican, I guess.

Uh oh! Everybody pull over, slow down! It's the PC police!

Slowly place your free speech on the ground and take two steps back with your hands up!
