So do these GOP women believe they'll #MAGA w/this bevy of '50`s denials?

@GinaSosa: “Tell me what

@bennyjohnson @Mariska @MaddowBlog @Lawrence @SamSeder @GinaSosa 2/8…support—that some teen boy's sexual misconduct marred Ms. Sosa's adolescence too.

Yet astonishingly, in very same conversation, Ms. @ irinavilarino & another one simply can't fathom *why* #CBFord didn't disclose earlier!

I don't know—maybe call her therapist to testify & ask her?

And then, o/c, that old chestnut of an excuse, 'Hell hath…
