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.

Trump should wear black, that should cause a trigger or two.

Well since they want to bring attention to sexual harassment, maybe Trump can have Juanita Broderick sit in the front row.

“Burkas!”

Full coverage. Don’t have to shower, shave, wear make up, get coiffed.

What’s not to like?

I would LOVE LOVE LOVE it if the President would acknowledge their charade, and ask if it’s to finally acknowledge their beloved President Clinton.

Ding ding ding.

It shows no independence, they are all followers.

Just like Jonestown, they willingly drink their leaders Koo-Aid.

the theatre of the absurd

it is a shame that the State of the Union address is given in Congress, otherwise the president could enforce a dress code
to assure reasonable, proper attire without this bullsheet business

anyway, I doubt anything...even solid black...would help improve Pelousy’s appearance, which has really super-run-down these past few years .. she really looks pretty awful I think

Don’t they have ANY original ideas?

They seem to be pretty good about finding new ways to steal taxpayer's money.

Trump should greet the crowd with, “Wow! Look, everyone is dressed black!” “That’s great, hey, I liked Johnny Cash, too”.

Followed by, “OK, you’ve made your statement, so now I’ll make mine...”. Then, continue with the SOTU.
