In order to show support for women's rights, Democratic women chose to wear suffragette white to President Donald Trump's first address to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday — a memo Republican Rep. Kevin Cramer of North Dakota most definitely missed.

Tonight, our Democratic #WomenWearWhite in support of women's rights -- in spite of a @POTUS who doesn't! pic.twitter.com/kKJpfV5iUE — Nancy Pelosi (@SpeakerPelosi) February 28, 2017

According to Politico, Cramer took the time to criticize his Democratic colleagues for their choice of attire during a radio town hall on Wednesday, chastising them for being "poorly" dressed and implying the women chose to wear "bad-looking white pantsuits" because they were sore losers.

“By the way, did you notice how poorly several of them were dressed as well?,” he asked one constituent. “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.”

As previously reported, the decision to wear white had absolutely nothing to do with Clinton, and was instead meant to be a way for Democratic women to protest the Trump administration and its policies. In fact, many of the women who chose to partake in #WomenWearWhite explicitly explained this prior to Trump's address.



"We wear white to unite against any attempts by the Trump Administration to roll back the incredible progress women have made in the last century, and we will continue to support the advancement of all women," Rep. Lois Frankel said in a statement.
