[audience reacts]. Jon by pork i assume the gentleman was referring to local constituents. One senator pointed to her waist and squeezed her stomach and said, dont lose too much weight. I like my girls chubby. Jon dont get too porky. I like my girls chubby. Even when it comes to sexism, the senate is gridlocked. They cant make any progress [cheering and applause] they cant get anything done. Luckily theres always one asshole left. To break the tie.

She says an older male colleague told her, good thing youre working out because you wouldnt wan
