What Is #SOTUBlackout Protest? House Democrats Wearing Black To Trump Address

Several Democratic congressional members are wearing black to President Donald Trump's State of the Union address Tuesday, including several female and male members of the House of Representatives looking to shed light on sexual harassment. Last year, several members of Congress wore white to Trump's first speech to a joint Congress -- but things have gotten dark over the past year. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, Linda Sanchez, Tulsi Gabbard, Brenda Lawrence, Nanette Diaz Barragán, and Mike Quigley are among the Democrats wearing black for the #SOTUBLACKOUT at President Donald Trump's Tuesday State of the Union address. The women are looking to bring the recent "#MeToo" and "TimesUp" anti-sexual harassment narratives into Congress.
