Republican strategist Mary Matalin appeared on Good Morning America this morning and championed Herman Cain’s statements made at his press conference, calling his denial “powerful and believable.” Worse, she blames the women who have stepped forward for being feminists during a time when she thinks feminists were looking for reasons to be offended. Seriously? Yes, seriously — remember, this Mary Matalin we’re talking about. She stated:

“I’m not condoning harassment. I don’t want to get all these ridiculous emails, but we did go through this period of this grievance industry, uh, for feminists who want to be offended, [who] find a way to be offended. There’s not a lot of charges other than that one that he flatly denies that even comes close to assault or harassment.”
