Republican candidate Robert Foster is on the campaign trail to be elected Governor of Mississippi. He refused to be accompanied by a female reporter on a campaign event unless she brought a male chaperone with her. He's been accused of sexism.

He said that he had made a vow to his wife to not be alone with someone of the opposite sex to avoid even the appearance of sexual impropriety. It also protected him from the risk of false accusation.

Micah Tinkler is a real estate agent in Mississippi and he thinks the Mr Foster is justified in this thinking. He was talking to presenter Ben James.
