Thumbs down for Trump from Pelosi's women in white: Democrats dress like their suffrage heroines (and Hillary) to attack President Daily Mail, Mar 1, 2017, KAILEEN GAUL
Female Democrats attacked President Donald Trump by wearing white in a powerful show of unity to honor women's suffrage as he made his first address to a Joint Session of Congress.
The homage to their heroines was led by minority leader of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi who says Trump doesn't support women's rights.
Pelosi tweeted: 'Tonight, our Democratic #WomenWearWhite in support of women's rights - in spite of a @POTUS who doesn't!'
During the 60-minute speech where Trump vowed 'I am here tonight to deliver a message of unity and strength', the female Democrats could be seen giving the President the thumbs down when he brought up repealing and replacing Obamacare.
Trump said: 'Obamacare is collapsing and we must act decisively to protect all Americans.'
'So I am calling on all Democrats and Republicans in the Congress to work with us to save Americans from this imploding Obamacare disaster.'
Some of the 66 women serving in the House and four non-voting delegates also wore blue 'save Obamacare' buttons and ACLU ribbons in defiance of President Trump's travel ban.
Hillary Clinton wore all white at Trump's inauguration. Many assumed this was also an homage to suffragettes. She also wore a white pantsuit during one of the presidential debates.
Pelosi released a statement after Trump's address further blasting the president. She said: 'The President's speech was utterly disconnected from the cruel reality of his conduct.
