Curiously, before the hearing there was apparently no great concern by the House minority on that committee to get a woman on the witness panel because they didn’t make the effort to file the female witness’ paperwork in time. The other witness they recommended was a man (who, incidentally, didn’t show up). Not to mention that there was a woman (who objected to the HHS mandate) on the second panel of the discussion—but by then the “all male” photo had gone viral and Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was already holding her own press conference in another wing to lead the charge of taking offense.
