Green politician claims gas drilling conspiracy gives ‘the womenfolk’ STDs

Environmental activist and Pennsylvania Democrat State Rep. Michael Sturla managed to insult both workers and women when, in an e-mail to a reporter, he implied the state’s women are promiscuous, claimed that natural gas drilling gives “womenfolk” sexually transmitted diseases, and further claimed the government behind a conspiracy to cover up the supposed natural gas/STD epidemic.

“Michael Sturla owes Pennsylvania’s energy sector workers an apology for insanely accusing them of spreading diseases, and he owe women an apology for suggesting they are promiscuous  and only ‘the womenfolk’ can get STDs,” said American Tradition Partnership Executive Director Donald Ferguson.

“I hope the tinfoil wrapped around Michael Sturla’s head is recyclable,” said Ferguson.

Amazingly, after telling reporters that Pennsylvania women are promiscuous, that natural gas development causes STDs and the government is covering it up, Sturla is still the Democrat Policy Chairman for the Pennsylvania State House.

“If that’s who Pennsylvania’s House Democrats have put in charge of their policy, they all owe their constituents an apology.  Michael Sturla continues to prove there’s no science or truth whatsoever behind environmentalist claims about natural gas drilling.  They’ll simply make up whatever story they think will terrorize people out of a job.  Sturla’s insane rant is yet another of the scare stories about clean, safe resource development are utterly insane lies,” said Ferguson.

“After an ill-advised relationship with environmentalists, Michael Sturla is trying to infect his constituents with unemployment and poverty.  The only epidemic threatening Pennsylvania is the irrational campaign of lies spread by the anti-jobs environmentalist lobby and Michael Sturla’s case of malignant stupidity and misogyny,” said Ferguson.
