Republican Missouri Senate candidate Courtland Sykes shook up the internet on Thursday with a statement condemning the feminist movement and endorsing traditional family values.


Following the statement going viral, the former Navy SEAL Team 5 intelligence analyst spoke to The Gateway Pundit about his thoughts on feminism and the backlash he is now facing — asserting that they are the real bullies.

The statement the candidate made was in response to questions about his feelings on women’s rights. When asked if they were something he believes in, Sykes said that his fiancée, Chanel Rion, “has given him orders to”, so he “better.” He went on to say that she “knows that my obedience comes with a small price that she loves to pay anyway: I want to come home to a home-cooked dinner at six every night, one that she fixes and one that I expect one day to have daughters learn to fix after they become traditional homemakers and family wives — think Norman Rockwell here and Gloria Steinem be damned.”

Sykes added that he wants his daughters to work from home, have families and not become “career-obsessed banshees.” This line in particular seemed to strike at the nerves of many, particularly on the left.
