Drnach, who works with national grassroots organizations, tells us:

Then we did something right.

The outspoken Republican said on Tuesday’s "The Rush Limbaugh Radio Show":

A man shouting at them equaled domestic violence. It didn’t matter if the women shouted first. But let’s not get sidetracked …
