The Most Berlusconi Thing Berlusconi Has Ever Said: Moms Can't Be Mayors
“Being mayor means being in your office 14 hours a day,” he mansplained to an established female politician.
Former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is back in the news with one of his infamous quotes. In a radio interview Tuesday, the billionaire media mogul dismissed Georgia Meloni, a politician from the rival right-wing party, as a viable potential candidate for Rome’s mayoral race—simply because she’s about to be a mom. Via The Guardian:
Berlusconi, after all, knows a thing or two about making good choices. The man was knocked out of his prime ministerial position in 2011 after allegations that he had sex with a minor surfaced. (He was convicted of that crime, but later cleared.) And that sex scandal was just one of many corruption controversies that have surrounded Berlusconi.
