Patricia Schroeder: “the United Nations owes the women of the globe a great apology. Every 10 years there is an international U.N. Women's…”

“the United Nations owes the women of the globe a great apology. Every 10 years there is an international U.N. Women's meeting, and the United Nations could have cared less about what the host did to make this meeting as inconvenient and as awful as possible. In fact, the Secretary General of the United Nations could not even bother to come. He predicted he was going to have a fever all 12 days that this meeting was going to be going on. Now, the message that sends to all countries is that the United Nations is putting this on only because it is politically correct, but they do not really care, and the Secretary General cannot really bother to come. I find that tragic, and I am very grateful the First Lady went and tried to put together anything that we could, because these issues are very, very critical. There will not be another international meeting for 10 years, and to have allowed China to play with it this way is outrageous. I think the House leadership owes American women also an apology, because the delegation sent from this body to the women's meeting could not have a woman chair.”
