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's team should arrange a section of guests filled with victims of Bill Clinton and other Democrat predators:

But watch them clamor for position for photo-ops and to shake the hand of POTUS as he enters the chamber.

I’ve always had the feeling that Bubba stood in front of a mirror and practiced all of his facial, expressions. This one and the one ,on the golf course , with the cigar dangling from his mouth are two of the most posed.
The guy was and is as phony as Barry.

I hope Trump makes a joke — something like “glad to see everyone wearing black—in honor of our budget heading back to the black.” If anyone can flip the situation- it’s him.

I leave it to this little guy to make my comment on this earth-shattering announcement:

Maybe they can do us a favor and boycott the speech altogether?

Conservative media outlets need to flip this around on the Democraps and publicize that wearing black is for MARY JO KOPECHNE:

Many facets of America needs a do-over and it will probably be very ugly to rid America of this scum.
