"...I then had my secretary go through and dog ear the pages that contained black and Latino women to make sure we were filling those quotas as well…” |
Mitt Romney has come under fire for his statement at the
2nd Presidential Debate that he had gone into the community to seek
out women who were qualified to work in his cabinet and was given “binders full
of women” to choose from.
Romney claims it was not as bad as he made it sound, that
he was only trying to make a point that he knew the importance of appearances
and having women in his cabinet was going to make him look good further down
the road when it counted most, i.e. when he ran for President.
“Once I got the binders full of women, I then had my
secretary go through and dog ear the pages that contained black and Latino
women to make sure we were filling those quotas as well…”
Romney admits that it took several binders to find the
women whom he eventually gave jobs to and stated that this underscores his
comment that most women are best when they are at home making lovely homes for
their husbands.
Romney admitted his biggest problem back when he was
Governor was the issue of retrofitting the women’s rest rooms with updated “thingamajiggie
machines” referring to tampon and pad dispensers.
“I’d never come up against that before at Bain,” said
Romney, “and quite frankly, that is where my wife Ann came in quite handy.”
