Here come the WOMEN in black: Democrats show how they will protest Trump tonight – with badges commemorating African-American rape victim Recy Taylor honored by Oprah at the Golden Globes
Democratic women - and some men too - posed for a photo showing off their all-black attire that they'll be wearing to tonight's State of the Union address
The Democrats are sporting black after the women of Hollywood did the same, paying respects to victims of sexual assault and harassment at this year's Golden Globes awards
The rape survivor turned activist Recy Taylor, who Oprah Winfrey paid homage to in her Golden Globes speech, is being honored by the Democrats too, as many of them are sporting pink 'RECY' pins Hours before the State of the Union address, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi gathered together her fellow Democratic women – and some men too – for a photo-op, as they showed off their black outfits for tonight.
The lawmakers were taking a page from the women of Hollywood, who sported black gowns to the Golden Globes to pay homage to the 'Me Too' and 'Time's Up' movements.
The Democrats followed the lead of Oprah Winfrey too, who had brought up the rape and subsequent activism of the late Recy Taylor.
For the State of the Union, the lawmakers sported pink 'RECY' pins too.
Pelosi, according to Politico, thought the wardrobe revolt was enough of a message, as she also instructed her members not to walk out of the speech or make a commotion.
'Let the attention be on his slobbering self,' Pelosi said of President Trump, who delivers his first official State of the Union tonight. 'If you walk out, don't come in.'

What has Trump done to these women? I mean other than keeping them safe, giving most of them a tax break and many a raise, and make their mutual funds and 401ks (those who have them) soar in value. Even multi-millionaires like Pelosi and DiFi and other public servants are seeing great boosts to their stock portfolios.
Debbie Washerwoman Schultz is there, I guess she got a 24 hour pass from Gitmo.
I wonder what Melania will be wearing.
Really mature of you girls (even those of you in the back). I don’t know who’s worse YOU or the VOTERS who keep reelecting you. Hopefully, some will see this as the total disrespect that these shenanigans are and send you packing but I ain’t holding my breath.
The Women in Black who worked to coverup Bill’s women problems and Hillary’s $$$ corruption.
In the private sector, most of them would have been fired for their complicity.
Whatever.
Fools never know it.
Seriously....is E! going to do “red carpet” interviews with these women, and make them feel “pretty” for once in their lives?
Some of those seats are empty, oh, never mind.
Perfect!!
They did?
I was going to suggest the Trump invite them to a Dîner en Blanc immediately after the speech.
Because the Dumborat Party is dead?
Instead of offering legislation that would benefit the American people, this is the best the democrats have to offer.
LOL!
What a fricken bunch of insane morons.
The Founding Fathers were right......again.
How do ya get so much ugly in one pic?
Hey! Ain’t that a slave-holder in the picture behind those communists?
Their SJW base will not be happy.
the cameraman’s retinas must be permanently damaged
I see Washerman Private,Schultz in the background
