Reporting on the Virginia House of Delegates blocking the nomination of a gay prosecutor to the state's bench, CNN's Brooke Baldwin tried to draw a connection between women's suffrage, desegregation, and the nomination of the prosecutor.

Her guest, Delegate Bob Marshall (R), argued that the prosecutor had been not just a judge but an activist on gay issues and was thus unfit for the bench.
