"I said that if I weren't governor, I'd take him outside as a result of the remarks he made about my wife," admitted Codey.
Carton had made insulting remarks about the Governor's wife, who had once suffered from post-partum depression. Mary Jo Codey had admitted in and interview that after giving birth she had thought of drowning her child or putting him in a microwave. She added she would have hurt herself before her child.
Carton was quoted as saying:
"What Governor Codey ought to do is approve the use of medical marijuana so women can have a joint and relax instead of putting their babies in a microwave. Then all they want to do is cook Doritos. Women who claim they suffer from this postpartum depression ... they must be crazy in the first place."
As of this report, Carton was demanding an apology from the governor who he also referred to as a "schoolyard punk".
