What was said

On his podcast, alongside a guest writing a book called “19 Reasons to Repeal the 19th Amendment,” Webbon described his household as having one vote, said suffrage took half of it from him, and said his wife returns it by voting as he does.

Why it counts

This is an argument that women shouldn't have independent political standing, made plainly rather than by implication.

It's framed as a personal household arrangement, which is his business. The published argument that suffrage was a theft to be reversed isn't.

The receipts

Every quote, checked against its source.

Joel Webbon, podcaster

"I see it as our household vote and that half of my vote was stolen from me in women's suffrage. And so my wife votes, but she votes alongside me."
