Democrats are planning to bring sexual assault victims to Trump's first State of the Union address

A number of Democrats are planning to invite victims of sexual misconduct to President Donald Trump's first State of the Union address, NBC News reported on Wednesday. Each lawmaker in the House and Senate is given one guest ticket to the yearly address and can decide who they bring. "Some members will be bringing survivors of sexual assault and advocates as their guests," an aide to Florida Representative Lois Frankel told NBC News. Frankel is the Chair of the Democratic Women's Working Group, which is comprised of all the Democratic women in the US House of Representatives. In the past, the group has focused on equal pay, access to child-care and birth control. More recently, the group spearheaded a call for a Congressional investigation into sexual misconduct allegations against Trump. Photo: U.S. Rep.
