Where did they buy the scarves from? What is the significance of the scarves? What is the lead time for delivery of such an order?

Has to do with how far in advance they planned this synchronized kneeling.

The stripes in the scarves decode with a bar code scanner to spell “Dumbass”.

I’m pretty sure...

Somebody posted a link to an article about those scarves. Made by some designer. Supposedly it’s callef “kente” cloth and is a sign of royalty in some African culture. The scarves were also worn by the Demisheviks at the SOTU.

It is a Kente type scarf.

There are 350 patterns of scarf and each has it’s own meaning.

Each pattern in the stole has a meaning. I suspect the one they are all so flagrantly wearing has to do with Unity and Strife

Maybe they were from the SOTU or Nancy had new ones whipped up in time for the photo op:

Members of the CBC (Congressional Black Caucus) wore brightly colored yellow, green, black and red kente cloth accents to President Trump’s first State of the Union address, as a sign of defiance against his “sh*thole* comments about African and Caribbean countries.

“The whole idea was to show support for Africa, particularly after the President called Africa and Haiti s-holes,” said Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) in an exclusive interview with theGrio. “We thought it would be important for us to demonstrate our support in some way.”

Rep. Waters hosted a “State of the Union Clapback” event on Capitol Hill on Tuesday night for millennials, inviting dozens of Members of Congress to explain why they were boycotting or protesting at the State of the Union. Also invited, was Titi Wreh, a local fashion and jewelry designer who designed the kente cloths.

Ironically, Wreh is African immigrant. She came to the United States in 1985 to attend Spelman College and now owns a shop, Chez Kevito, in Takoma Park, MD.

Wreh created the 55 scarves at the request of Congresswoman Yvette Clark’s office and was on hand at the “State of the Union Clapback” with her sewing machine and iron to help Members of Congress properly adorn themselves.

“When I got in the hallway and saw them, it hit me,” says Wreh, who explained that woven kente cloths originated in Ghana and are normally worn by royalty. “I was more excited to be there, knowing they were protesting.”
