Women invited to wear white to Trump's State of the Union
WISC-TV ^ | January 29, 2019 | Kate Sullivan and Ashley Killough CNN

The House Democratic Women's Working Group is inviting female members of both parties to wear white to President Donald Trump's State of the Union address next week as a symbol of solidarity.

"Wearing suffragette white is a respectful message of solidarity with women across the country, and a declaration that we will not go back on our hard-earned rights," Rep. Lois Frankel of Florida, the chair of the working group, told CNN.

Frankel pointed out there have never been as many Democratic women serving in Congress as there are today.

In 2017, the same group coordinated Democratic women wearing white to Trump's joint address to Congress. At the time, the women said they were wearing white not only in memory of the women's suffrage movement but also to show Trump their support for a number of issues affecting women, including affordable health care, reproductive rights and equal pay.

Wearing white has become common among female politicians who want to make a statement. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wore white to the new-member swearing-in ceremony earlier this month, and wrote in a tweet, "I wore all-white today to honor the women who paved the path before me, and for all the women yet to come."

The New York Democrat added, "From suffragettes to Shirley Chisholm, I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the mothers of the movement."

Hillary Clinton wore white when accepting the Democratic nomination for president in 2016.

So it’s white women only. As Bob Dole once said, “where’s the outrage?”

Trump should show up in a white tux, just to screw with their symbolism.

When Melania wore white it was interpreted as stark racism and bigotry, IIRC.

white gives camera crews difficulty.

But if the Democrat Klan wants to show their “strength” so be it.

And for all of the tens of millions of innocent girls these stupid mean women aborted?

What the heck is this? Last I checked, women have had the right to vote for several decades... Further - Trump has been more pro-woman in every aspect of his administration than his predecessors.

I guess the DemoCraps are desperate to try to make SOME kind of showing?

Lois Frankel is a Democrat dirtbag. A great example of democrats, she brought red light cameras to West Palm Beach as Mayor and then, when she got caught by one, she ordered them removed. The very sight of her on television brings on nausea.

They’re trying to paint a persona on Trump. It needs no connection with reality. Millions will believe it without question and curse you if you deny it.

Shirley Chisholm would have kicked her ass.

...we will not go back on our hard-earned rights.

I must have missed something. Who asked/demanded they go back on their rights?
