What a decent person, a rarity these days regardless of political affiliation.

A Mississippi Republican running for governor and a female reporter seeking to spend a day with him on the campaign trail squared off Thursday morning on CNN over his refusal to be alone with her.

The candidate, state Rep. Robert Foster, stood by his decision to insist that reporter Larrison Campbell bring a male colleague if she wanted a “ride-along” in his truck because he “just wanted to keep things professional” and avoid “a lot of opportunities where it would’ve been an awkward situation.

If he can't manage enough self-control when he is alone with a female, he shouldn't be running for office!!!

Has he given his wife reason not to trust him?

So, it's already his fault? Good lord, no wonder why women don't get a lot of respect when they say they have been...sexual...anything.....

This has nothing to do with self control, it's to protect himself from being accused of doing something he didn't do. Pence has the same policy.

this sounds like the Billy Graham rule.

Just like Pence wont take a meeting without his wife being present. In today's age there is nothing wrong with being careful. He is preventing a false accusation. Nothing wrong with his request!!!

This is a very smart policy for any man to have in the professional arena in the metoo era.

Good for him. CYA in today's society of women with bogus "me too" accusations.

For once, I agree with you.
