    How many tweets have their been of a newly elected repub man and his wardrobe?
    Context. It has nothing to do with her being a woman, it's about her now public financial issue and the tweeter trying to infer she has money for nice clothes so why cant she afford an apartment, which obviously is silly. Not defending the tweeter at all, just think its ridiculous thst this is news, that we try to make every little thing into some scandal, or label it as quickly as we can as racism, or misogyny, or whatever. 

    Hope she picks her battles better than this moving forward

    I'm pointing out towards women.  It is always about their clothes.

    A guy in a suit is a guy in a suit unless he's Gotti.  That guy had some suits.


    Dave Letterman had some suits as well. And it’s always about their “appearance.” She should troll them by wearing a burlap sack to the office. Or a head to toe, face covered burqha. And the only male politician I can readily recall being criticized for what they wore was Obama and his tan suit. Oh, the outrage!

    You should research women and clothes in politics.  There has been many an article about it.

    My thoughts?

    Who gives a shit.

    My thoughts as well but it’s hilarious to see repubs get so “outraged” or derisive over such trivial matters. They know they’re losing the message war.

    If you Google search the words "Trump wardrobe" you can find dozens of negative articles about Donald and the first lady's clothing. For her theres a lot of positive ones too, but for Donald it is pretty much all negative.
    I just don't see how this is a race, gender, political issue. Lots of people are criticized for what they wear.

    Criticizing their fashion shouldn't be off limits for them.

    Ummm, the US HAS ALWAYS worked towards corporate interests. Bullshit wars have been contrived on behalf of corporate America. The term banana republic was coined after such intervention.

    I'm not quite sure if she is or not. I think the media keeps very purposefully only using photos that make her look manic (really she's just an enthusiastic happy person, and they pick the worst possible photos, and it's pissing me off). I'd love to see a photo where she just looks normal, like I'm sure she usually looks, as opposed to where she's in mid-word, mouth gaping, with her eyes popping out of her head. And yes, I do think this is a form of editorial sexism.

    Agreed. There's too much of this:


    And not enough of this:



    She's a young, smart, motivated person with passion for her beliefs. I'm sure I disagree with her on some things, but I do like seeing people engaged, and am impressed that someone under 30, regardless of background, gender, party, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation is stepping up to make a difference.

    If this woman worked in your workplace she'd easily be one of the most beautiful women around and you'd be every bit as aware of it as anyone else.

    This reminds me of The Office, when the whole office debates whether Hilary Swank is "hot or not".  Bunch of Kevin's, Stanleys, and Merediths arguing "hot or not" about someone who is so far out of their league lol
