The truth is, ahem, bound to come out eventually. Nearly five years after then-Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney found himself in an internet quagmire for describing the "binders Full of women" he used to staff his gover**r's cabinet, the Boston Globe has obtained two of said binders.
Romney was answering a question About workplace inequality during a 2012 debate when he insisted that he had "binders Full of women" who were assessed for positions in his Massachusetts state gover**rship. He was immediately and widely lampooned across the internet for the comment - introducing one of the first political memes into the internet lexicon.
Some of the Women whose applications were filed in the Binders did actually find positions state and federally: Gina McCarthy was hired as former President Obama's Environmental Protection Agency administrator and Jane Tewksbury headed the Department of Youth Services under Gover**r Romney.
Sure, Romney's effort might have been a bit clunky and totally misguided, but we'd still take it over Donald Trump's total disinterest in staffing a cabinet in which men and Women are equally represented.
