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.

“It’s evening, who will notice? Women wear black in the evening all the time”

They would look stunning with the pink tnuc hats for contrast.

Are they protesting themselves? So far it seems that on the left coast and in Foggy Bottom almost all the perps and victims are staunch DemocRATS.

Shirley Jackson Lee: Hey y’all! Did we give up when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Uh uhhhhh
The Ghost of Ted “Swimmer” Kennedy: Er, ah, uh. No. Hell no!
Chuckles Schumer: ... I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody’s part.
Nanzi Pelosi: And we’re just the guys to do it.

Plastic Face will wear black to mourn all those who will die from Trump’s tax cuts.

May we suggest bags over the heads of Democrat women? The cause: beautification of our Capitol.

Trump should send a written copy. Don’t give them a platform.

Nancy and the fellow travelers would prefer a hammer and sickle but SS would do for the meantime.

&&&
Yeah, because that darn Trump keeps trying to take voting rights away from women.

This stuff would have me laughing if it was not so infuriating. I know that these Rat females know that this is all a bunch of nonsense, but what really ticks me off is that they think the rest of us women are stupid enough to take all of it seriously.

Sounds kind of racist to me. Like there is something bad about black.
