Pelosi, other female Democrats to wear black to Trump's State of the Union address
ABC "News" ^ | January 10, 2018 | By BENJAMIN SIEGEL

A group of female House Democrats, including Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., plan to wear black for President Donald Trump’s first State of the Union address later this month, in an anti-harassment demonstration to show solidarity for victims of sexual harassment and misconduct.

“We are supporting the brave women in every industry and every corner of the country who are making their voices heard,” Pelosi said in a statement. “We are at a watershed moment in the nationwide fight against sexual harassment and discrimination, and we must continue to keep up the drumbeat of action for real change.”

The effort is being led by Rep. Lois Frankel, D-Fla., the chair of the Democratic Women’s Working Group, and has been in the works for weeks. Other leaders of the group, including Reps. Jackie Speier, D-Calif., and Brenda Lawrence, D-Mich., also plan to participate.

Democratic women led by Frankel wore white at Trump’s first joint address to Congress last February, a nod to the women’s suffrage movement and rebuke of the Trump administration.

This is the same Nancy Pelosi that defended Conyers against the initial reports that he was a sexual predator/harasser, or whatever he ended up being?

Everything about Democrats is cheesy symbolism and optics and zero substance.

It would be so easy for President Trump to list the accomplishments; e.g., low black American unemployment, ISIS caliphate dissolution, etc., then draw attention to those who thought it was time “celebrate” in black!?!

Democrats are all emotionally stunted at the level of unsocialized 8 year olds.

It will be a much needed improvement.
