You're watching multisource video political news analysis. 

You can say a lot in 140 characters. As one New Jersey state Senate candidate discovered, 140 characters were enough to help him make headlines. Oklahoma’s KSBI explains.

“First Republican Phil Mitsch refused to apologize for his Twitter advice to women telling them to be a lady in the living room and a ho in the bedroom.”

Mitsch’s tweet went out to his more than 44,000 followers in early September.. WCAU reports Mitsch apologized Thursday for offending people with his-- uhm-- advice. But he says he was only trying to make light of an old addage.

“After apologizing, Mitsch’s statement went on to explain that the tweet was inspired by an ‘age-old saw most notably quoted by Jerry Hall, Mick Jagger's ex-wife, in the early 1990's: 'My mother said in order to keep a man, you must be a maid in the living room, a cook in the kitchen, and a whore in the bedroom.' "

But as it turns out, that advice wasn’t a one-time deal. In fact, after a little digging, Gawker discovered on the same day Mitsch tweeted advice to women, he advised members of the same sex as well saying...

"Increase your odds of keeping your women by being faithful, a gentleman in the living room and a stud in the bedroom.”

But wait, there’s more.

“Also from the same day (September 2, for the record) are these gems: ‘When a woman lets a man make love to her she is really letting him make love to her heart and sou;'. ...and ‘A little sex everyday keeps the doctor away. Screw the apple'"

Anchors for New York’s WPIX say-- hello-- think before you tweet.

“Yea, when you’re typing that in, it’s one thing to say something when you have the filter, but when you’re actually typing and you have the chance to backspace, delete, delete, delete, and that doesn’t happen. Yea, there should be a mental disconnect there and some people just don’t have it.”

And it looks like the New Jersey Camden County GOP felt the same way-- it pulled its support for Mitsch. The GOP leader is quoted in the Philadelphia Inquirer saying-- the apology just wasn’t good enough.

"‘I found his apology overshadowed by the kind of excuse-making that is found too often in politics...‘Mr. Mitsch has failed to take ownership of his mistake.’”

Despite the controversy and loss of support, Mitsch says he’s still committed to running for a seat in the Senate.
