Republican Mississippi Gubernatorial Candidate Diagnosed With Gynophobia

Republican state Representative Robert Foster refuses to be interviewed alone by female reporters over fear that "the optics of the candidate with a woman, even a working reporter, could be used in a smear campaign to insinuate an extramarital affair," according to the female reporter he refused to meet with.

Seriously?

Or is this to throw reporters off the scent of something else because he doesn't think anyone would believe that a married man could have an extramarital affair with another man?
