Tennessee Democrat Congressman Steve Cohen’s Gaffe … Eli and Peyton Manning ‘Don’t Do Sexual Assault… Other Than Their Wives’

OOPS, SEXUAL ASSAULTS BEGIN AT HOME WITH YOUR WIVES …

Tennessee Democrat Congressman Steve Cohen seems to not only know who NFL Tennessee Titan’s WR Sammy Hill is, he also seems to have trouble with the English language. While answering a question on the allegations that Sammy Hill sexually assaulted a woman, Cohen stated, “I never heard of him. I don’t keep up with football except for college football, unless it’s Eli Manning or Peyton Manning. And Eli and Peyton don’t do sexual assaults against  people other than their wives.” WHAT!?!

UPDATE I: Cohen Regrets Eli, Peyton Manning sex assault comment:

No duh, I think we can pretty much figure out that Congressman Cohen misspoke. More to the point, I think this shows just how unprepared and ignorant of the fact that these elected politicians are and their inability to speak unless its been prepared in a speech by some unnamed staffer.

A spokesman for U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Memphis, said the congressman intended to point out NFL quarterbacks Eli Manning and Peyton Manning are in committed marriages when he said the pair don’t sexually assault people “other than their wives.”

“Congressman Cohen misspoke, abhors sexual violence of any kind, is a fan of both Manning brothers, and deeply regrets any confusion. His intention was simply to indicate that Eli and Peyton are in committed, monogamous marriages,” Garmisa said.
