Mike Johnson says he's talked to Thune & he's "very confident that when this moves forward in the process - if & when it is processed in the Senate, which is no certainty - they will take the time methodically to do what we have not been allowed to do in the House. To amend this discharge petition."

The framing of this by CNN implies she's talking about bad candidates, but she isn't. She's saying this country hates women. People say look at Mexico or Germany, they elected women. Yes. Because they, as a country, don't hate women nearly as much as we do. Fucked up shit. She's not lying.
