Courtesy of Yahoo News:NEW -- Washington following Hollywood's lead: A group of female Democratic lawmakers is planning to wear black to President Trump's first State of the Union address in a show of solidarity for #MeToo and #TimesUp— Geoff Bennett (@GeoffRBennett) January 9, 2018
A number of women in Congress are planning to wear black to the State of the Union later this month as a show of support for women affected by sexual misconduct.
The show of support echoes actresses who wore black to last Sunday's Golden Globes to support the Me Too and Time's Up movements.
NBC News was first to report Rep. Jackie Speier, D-Calif., was calling for lawmakers on both sides of the aisle to dress in black. President Trump will deliver his first State of the Union address on Jan. 30.
The movement is being championed by the Democratic Women's Working Group, which includes all female Democratic members of the House of Representatives.
Damn!
And that's not all. Some Democrats are also planning to bring victims of sexual assault to the speech as their guests.
I was planning to boycott Trump's SOTU speech, but now I am a little intrigued to see if this fucks with his head.
Looking out over a sea of women dressed in black, sitting next to victims of sexual assault, and knowing they are there to send him a message, could render Trump even more incoherent than usual.
People have been calling on the Democrats to start upping their game.
Well from Dianne Feinstein's brave actions the other day, their push back on the border wall, their call for a more comprehensive response to Russia election meddling, and now this. I would say they are doing exactly that.
