From MSNBC's live coverage of the 2012 Republican National Convention on 28 August 2012:

 

LAWRENCE O'DONNELL: "I was struck, as you were, Rachel [Maddow], as she began her speech, trying to relate to women, by talking about women's struggles in this economy and in life, that she actually, in her life, doesn't know anything about. The one population that was specifically excluded from her discussion of women's struggles in this society was any woman who needed, at any point in her life, to rely on any form of government assistance - be it food stamps; be it temporary welfare assistance; be it any form of support whatsoever that any government has ever provided for a struggling woman at any time in her life. That population was completely ignored in this speech."
