Republican Slams Democratic Women For Wearing White To Trump’s Speech
Representative
Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., strongly criticized the Democratic congresswomen
who wore white to President Trump’s address to a joint session of
Congress on Tuesday, dismissing the move as “weird” and characterizing
it as an homage to Hillary Clinton’s failed presidential bid
“But
by the way, did you notice how poorly several of them were dressed, as
well?” Cramer said Wednesday, during a radio town hall broadcast from
Fargo, N.D., Politico
reported. “It is a syndrome.
There is no question. There is a disease
associated with the notion that a bunch of women would wear bad-looking
white pantsuits in solidarity with Hillary Clinton to celebrate her
loss. You cannot get that weird.”
Rep.
Lois Frankel, D-Fla., the chair of the House Democratic Women’s Working
Group, whose district encompasses Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate, led the
effort to wear white, in order to visibly promote gender equality.
White
is closely associated with the women’s suffrage movement.
Clinton
notably donned white throughout her campaign, including during her
speech at the Democratic National Convention, when she officially became
the first female presidential nominee of a major party in the United
States.
House
Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi responded to Cramer’s comments on
Wednesday, tweeting, “Thank you for illustrating why we so badly need to
honor #WomensHistoryMonth.”
A spokesman for Cramer did not respond to a request for comment.
