How incredibly foolish for someone to hand out their pass to a stranger. It seems to me, that this ought to be the message. These women could not be prosecuted because they were given a pass.
The "someone" was not an innocent hack who drove or flew "X" miles to the convention only to decide to "give" their pass to another person.
The act was intentional in order to generate the news that it did. The question now is who in the MSM gave that pass to that radical, marxist, commie woman?
Its been rumored to be someone from MS??? but since that hasn't been substantiated, I'm not mentioning the network.
