Report: GOPer Said 'Poorly-Dressed' House Dems Wore White For Clinton

By KRISTIN SALAKY Published MARCH 1, 2017, 3:32 PM EDT


Rep. Kevin Cramer (R-ND) knocked the "poorly-dressed" women of the House Democrats who wore white pantsuits to President Donald Trump's address to a joint session of Congress Tuesday night, according to Politico.

Cramer brought up the event during a radio town hall address on Wednesday, according to the site. A constituent said Democrats should work with President Trump, even though Republicans did not work with President Barack Obama when he was in office.

The congressman reportedly agreed that there are many issues that the two parties can agree on and that they should work together on, but then brought up the female House Democrats choice of attire for the address, according to Politico. He called it a "disease" that they would wear white pantsuits in order to support former Democratic Presidential nominee Hilary Clinton.

“But by the way, did you notice how poorly several of them were dressed as well?” he asked, according to the report. “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.”

When did Republicans become so whiny and petty?
I'm embarrassed for them. What small minded jerks.

Sadly, it's pretty clear we have more than enough whiny and petty on our side of the aisle too.

I mean, if the ladies aren't attired to your satisfaction, you should pass a law about it. Certainly more productive than anything the House has done for these past six years.

Or, Rep. Cramer, you could take the opportunity to shut up more.

Yes I listen in from time to time - taking one for the team.

Today he started by doing a good old boy sarcasm thing "Women's suffrage?? When was the last time a woman couldn't vote?" He then said (paraphrasing) "The white dresses were a bad choice. To many people, I think, it conjures up a connection to the Ku Klux Klan".

Cut to commercial.

Of course I can understand why the first think to pop into Limbaugh's brain was the KKK uniform of choice.

Diseased? Weird? A syndrome? That's what best describes you and the rest of the filthy, rotten vermin that infest your ratfuck party from top to bottom. Go fuck yourself, Kevin.
