A Fox News pundit suggested women should feel more “shame” and be quieter when condemning Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) over her support for accused sexual assaulter and Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

Conservative pundit Bill Bennett bizarrely cited the infamous comment made to Sen. Joe McCarthy when Army counsel Joseph Welch asked him “have you no decency, sir?” to condemn Women’s March co-founder Linda Sarsour.

“Senator Susan Collins is the mother & grandmother of white women in America who gave us a Donald Trump presidency,” Sarsour tweeted earlier Friday. “The 53%. She is a disgrace & her legacy will be that she was a traitor to women and marginalized communities. History will not treat her kindly.”

In response to that comment, Bennett asked, “Ladies, have you no shame?”

“Really, how about just a little quiet,” he continued.
