Why are women’s clothes even being discussed? Men wear their funeral outfits all the time!

I don’t get these trumpets. How is wearing white obviously disrespectful? From a so-called friend- “I did not respect the women in white for their obvious disrespect for our POTUS under the guise of supporting independent women.”

Sorry I missed the KFC convention!

They made a statement - we’re just confused as to what it was. Girls can color coordinate their outfits? What next they’ll all elect to get their nails done in the same color gel coat? And then women wonder why they aren’t taken seriously and make less than men.

Back to basics...KKK

I seen immaturity! Grandstanding on the American taxpayers dime! BabyKillers

Marxist sheep

These woman absolutely do not represent me. These democratic woman in congress are constantly putting men down and need to prove their empowered. Conservative woman do not need to put men down to feel empowered. They know who they are already and also respect who men are as well

They came across as childish and petty. They made a clear statement they are fans of victimhood and misery.

Symbol of women’s suffrage movement. With so many newbies, maybe they are virgins. Who cares ?

Because they were never in a sorority in college. It is sad

Hate group all smiles!

More than looking like the Lancaster County Women's KKK They looked and acted like a bunch of sorority girls at their first fraternity party--downright silly. Follow the leader instead of think for yourself-A mindset that will not be good for those who wants to accomplish.

And they did.

Theyre mediocre and sheep.

To pretend they're righteous and pure? Didn't work.

I’m old enough to remember when you media hacks accused our FLOTUS for wearing white as a white supremacist dog whistle. Unbelievable...

Like a group of walking tampons

That they’re attending the VA govenor party after the SOTU. Dressed to impress.

What realDonaldTrump failed to acknowledge in his SOTU speech was that almost everyone of the women elected to Congress this term were Democrats.

Lemmings

That was the Democrats. The Republican women wore something different...

What the Women in Congress should have worn for Trump's State of the Union address. 'I am asking Congress to pass legislation to prohibit the late-term abortion of children who can feel pain in the mother's womb'. SOTU

Stand with Northam. Interesting.

What the Women in Congress should have worn for Trump's State of the Union address. 'Lawmakers cheered with delight upon the passage of legislation that would allow a baby to be ripped from the mother's womb moments before birth'. SOTU

They gave Trump multiple standing ovations.

Where are the pink hats?

The new KKK!

It really emphasizes Ocasios rack.

And they made the statement that they love most of the current policies.

They’re behind the times. AlexandriaVAGov was wearing white back in 1984.

Where are their hoods?

Looks like we found the new faction of the KKK - SpeakerPelosi et al emulating Margaret Sanger RacistDemocrats

As a female, wearing red would have been more appropriate. Democrats AbortingFullTermBabies

Cult following....

NO the economic wolves just want you to know what pack they are running in... it is the vanity of the beastly nature they instilled into their hearts which lets them think good of themselves while putting the least among US to death in the streets.

I'm surprised they didn't wear their hoods. DemoKKKrat

Could other to stand for some amazing feats... happy that babies can be killed at birth but not happy sexual predators are under siege and jobs are up for minorities?

To spread a false narrative

Her necklace made a statement too!

Can we stop saying she shed now? 🤔

Dosent the KKK wear all white?

It's Ok to be white

Going back their roots, the KKK...

They remind me of sheep doing the bidding of pelosi and aoc.

But, it's way past Labor Day.

That they are the real KKK.

The looked Ridiculous -

brody_connell Those ladies make a huge statement simply with their presence. The White was a nice touch

They looked like the kkk

They ended up looking like baby-murdering mean girls.

Ironic. They support killing a baby by not recognizing it’s a person just like the last Democrat group who wore white, that didn’t think blacks were people. Founded in 1865 to Resist the achievements of Abraham Lincoln-the first Republican. WalkAway

Women or deomocratic women?

They look like witches arriving !

The Democratic Party is being taken over by morons and bigots, and oh yeah, Muslim extremist

Travel Titanic!

No spaghetti sauce for dinner! 🥘

What happens after WAAAAAAAL is constructed? Cold winds (from the North pole and Canada) will be blocked and get colder and colder and finally icy mountain will form. Temperatures fall drastically. Mexico gets protected by the wall from cold waves and snow formation to an extent.

Dressed in there clan colors

They didn't.

They just left their white hoods at home is all but America knows.

Which was

They did. They told everyone they were petulant children.

They wore white to show support for their fellow Klansman RalphNortham Its no secret they are the party of the KKK. This is vile.

Their statement was groupthink.

Wow. I see a lot of ignorance here about the symbolism of what the women wore. Did anyone read the article?

That they are white supremacy? They don’t represent me and my values. So they failed

Got to love the morons commenting on this article. Bunch of male Trump supporters not getting it.

Hillary Clinton's legacy.

Why didn't they use Twitter?

Democrat women are clearly having mental issues

They sent a message that they will only applaud women who succeed. Sad.

And that they did. Hysteria and histrionics in full display. It looked like a high school girls football rally!

Every time Republicans try to free people from slavery the Democrats show up in all white.

Tiffany Trump also wore white.

DemocRats then. DemocRats now. All thats missing is the hood.

yeah, acting like fools on tv during trump's speech at Capital.

They are victims.

What is the statement, white power? I'm confused?

I liked when Trump got them to stand up, “raise the roof”, and chant USA!!! “Don’t sit down yet...you’re gonna love this next one!!!”

🤭😏

A statement that white doesn't look good on everybody 🤔

Embarrassment. They should have been wearing red.

Tiffany Trump also wore all white.

No they wanted to act like 6th graders and get permission from each other on when they were permitted to clap or stand. Individualism isn't about dressing the same. Girls do that in Elementary school.

Uhm, what statement?

Meanwhile they scared off civil rights icon John Lewis. Why did they dress up like klanswomen ? It’s was white privileged, white power, white insensitive. Horrific display

i think america would have one female president within decades.

The KKK fashion look suits the Democrats. StateOfTheUnion RalphNortham Democrats

Extremists who adore abortion at 8 months 29 days. Ghoulish.

More of the Dems anti-man sexist drivel.....

Statement that there is no Independent thinker among them?🤦🏼‍♀️🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

They forgot their hoods

That they’re better than men? Isn’t that TheDemocrats message? Any Whitemen White men in the Democrat party of racists needs to run away like they’re on 🔥

Can only assume they're backing Gov. Northam.

👍

Blah Blah Blah...here is where the press starts dividing us all again.

Trump uses State of the Union address to emphasize immigration agendaWith newly empowered House Democrats in front of him, Trump inflated the threat of immigrants entering the country unlawfully and sought to make an emotional appeal to the public.
