Of course the headline is technically accurate. Click bait always is. He did in fact say those words, but the actual meaning of the statement is clearly not what the headline is trying to convey.
To be clear, I'm not saying what he meant is correct either. It's not corrrct to most people. Which is why I have a problem with the misleading headline--the statement doesn't need to be taken out of context to show how dumb it is. Miscontruing the actual meaning just muddies the water.
What I am saying is that the meaning of the headline is exactly what he said and meant. He and many other conservatives literally think women shouldn’t vote, because women don’t vote for them.
Did you even read the quote? He is clearly not saying he would go back to that time because women can't vote. Here is his stated reason:
His actual reason is still dumb. You don't have to make up a false meaning to his statement to disagree with it. It's disagreeable all on its own.
