    NEW: GOP senators are considering using their female staffers to question Christine Blasey Ford. So it’s not a bunch of white men questioning her.http://bit.ly/2xtcB6D

        NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. The #GOP don't get to pretend to be inclusive when it suits them. If their party suddenly finds it awkward they don't have some women on their side, they damn well ought to elect some. #youmadeyoursexistbednowlieinit

        If we’re going to have female staffers taking over permanently, let’s not have it be the likes of Bob Corker’s, or Tim Cotton’s.

        Is there precedent for this? It seems deceitful: voters should see that there are zero women on the committee.

        “Use them.” Because women only exist on Capitol Hill to be used by Congressmen to hurt other women.

        Republican women staffers questioning a victim? Hmmm, I can’t see how that could go wrong in any way.

        How boring do you have to be to not get hundreds of likes and RT’s from the #Resistance? All it takes to get engagement from them is to tweet out ‘Drumpf’.

        Probably because it takes knowing a little about the subject material to get her joke. I guarantee you that vast majority of the women that invoke that show/book have never seen it. They just like the premise. If they did the show’s numbers would look better than this.pic.twitter.com/k7EiuQSiDT
