A political candidate in New Jersey is taking heat for tweeting that the way for a woman to keep her man is to be a "whore in the bedroom."
Republican state Senate candidate Phil Mitsch says he didn't mean to offend women. He says the comments were a version of advice given by others, including women.
Democrats attacked Mitsch for the tweet as well as others the candidate claims were doctored.
The state GOP has also withdrawn support, telling The Philadelphia Inquirer his comments made him unfit for office.
Mitsch's tweet read: "Women, you increase your odds of keeping your men by being faithful, a lady in the living room and a whore in the bedroom."
Even without the controversy, Mitsch was a long shot in solidly Democratic Camden County.
