Republican Woman Running for Office Thinks Women Shouldn’t Hold Office
This Republican woman running for office thinks women shouldn’t run for office.
Mylie Biggs, the daughter of Trump-loving Representative Andy Biggs, is running for a seat in the Arizona state Senate. And a year ago, she went on a podcast and said that she doesn’t believe women should hold political office, reported the Phoenix New Times.
“Honestly, I don’t know if I would vote for any female. I don’t know if females should be in office,” Biggs said on the show.
“There are a lot of really good women in office, I’m not trying to hate on anyone—like, some really good congresswomen,” Biggs added. “Yeah, I don’t think women should hold office in general. That’s my position. That’s my stance. I think women should run the home.”
Biggs launched her campaign in late June, saying on X, “My parents taught me to love my country, the Constitution, and to value my freedoms. I’ve watched so many good people in my life serve this country in the military and in public office. I too seek to serve.”
But on the podcast, Biggs didn’t seem interested in serving—or even in working at all. She lamented how “modern feminism” has changed the world, “starting with women’s right to vote.”
“I hate a 9-to-5 schedule,” Biggs added. “I get home, and I don’t want to do anything else. Like, women aren’t built for this.”
Since announcing, Biggs has not submitted a campaign finance report, and has not yet raised any money, according to the Phoenix New Times.
Many women are “built for this,” but perhaps Biggs is not one of them.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed Thursday that Donald Trump is totally fine with his illegal takeover of Gaza.
During an interview with Fox News, host Bill Hemmer pressed Netanyahu on whether the U.S. government had agreed with his plan to fully occupy Gaza.
“Has President Trump given the green light for your plan to take over the remaining 25 percent of Gaza and occupy all of it?” Hemmer asked.
“Well, you know, he understands that it’s Israel who’s gonna do the fighting. It’s not American soldiers,” Netanyahu replied.
“Did he give you a yes?” Hemmer pressed.
“Well, he just says, ‘I know Israel will do what it has to do,’ and we haven’t gotten into that kind of discussion,” Netanyahu said.

Netanyahu said that he and Trump had discussed conducting a “humanitarian search” in Gaza before Israel conducts its “final” military action, which would involve moving the remaining Palestinians into so-called “safe zones.” But in Gaza, humanitarian safe zones are a common target of the Israeli military, leaving Palestinians with nowhere left to go.
The prime minister also said that Trump had agreed that they need to lay down “key principles” the day after Israel’s final purge. While Netanyahu said that a civilian government needed to be installed in Palestine (he claimed to have no interest in ruling the region), he noted that Israel would need to be in charge of Gaza’s security to ensure that Hamas did not reemerge.
Netanyahu revealed on Fox News that Israel intended to occupy all of Gaza “in order to assure our security, remove Hamas there, enable the population to be free of Gaza, and to pass it to civilian governance that is not Hamas and not anyone advocating the destruction of Israel.”
“That’s what we want to do. We want to liberate ourselves and liberate the people of Gaza from the awful terror of Hamas,” he said.
Netanyahu has directed the massive military campaign that has killed more than 60,000 people, causing widespread destruction and famine. Now he claims he wants to liberate the very people his military has been illegally and indiscriminately killing.
After successfully forcing Columbia and Brown to hand over granular admissions data to the administration, President Donald Trump seems to be taking aim at a bigger target: every university in the United States.
Trump is expected to sign an order Thursday mandating that universities turn over applicant data in order to prove they’re not carrying out affirmative action policies, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on X.
Leavitt’s post gave no further details on how the government would make these determinations, or what consequences the universities would face if they refused to cooperate.
Trump’s battle against the Ivy League appears to have been a slippery slope leading to a grab for total control over higher education. The president has threatened universities with enormous funding cuts if they don’t follow his orders: dismantling anything purportedly related to diversity, equity, and inclusion; harshly punishing pro-Palestinian protesters; and giving the federal government sway over curriculums and entire © New Republic
