Of course that Lying Sack of Shit lied about the 'binders full of women'
I knew that asshole was lying the moment he said that. Not that I actually knew what happened, I'm just smart enough to know Mitt Romney is a pathological liar who couldn't care less about women.
What actually happened was that in 2002 -- prior to the election, not even knowing yet whether it would be a Republican or Democratic administration -- a bipartisan group of women in Massachusetts formed MassGAP to address the problem of few women in senior leadership positions in state government. There were more than 40 organizations involved with the Massachusetts Women's Political Caucus (also bipartisan) as the lead sponsor.They did the research and put together the binder full of women qualified for all the different cabinet positions, agency heads, and authorities and commissions. They presented this binder to Governor Romney when he was elected.
