I bet EVERYBODY understood why she wore that loud dress. For no other reason than to attract attention to herself.

THAT is not what you are there in Congress for, little girl. Go to the local country club and make googoo eyes with the old rich dudes in the cardplaying room. Or some such thing.

Talk about needing some attention. The only way she could have been more needy is if she wore a white coat with a fur collar and called President Biden a liar all night.

I used to love the Chiquita banana jingles as a kid too. I can still sing it and have this Carmen Miranda type banana dancing in my head when I think about it. Unfortunately behind that fun advertising image there's a lot of murdered civilians and labor organizers. They paid to have people killed who were standing in the way of cheap imported fruit

I know they have issues, but the House floor is not the place to work them out. They’re turning the SOTU into a joke. Maybe it’s time to go back to the days when presidents sent their addresses to Congress.

(Actually, Big Bird wore it better.)

But right, the US Congress is not the place to wear this kind of getup.

Good point, she could have gone airborne with a stiff breeze.

if not her behavior, has always made me guess that she has a mental illness. This worn in that setting adds to the mountain of observable evidence. If she weren't dangerous I'd feel sorry for her.

but, she was at a work function. She was not dressed appropriately for that function.

She is looking for attention.

Also, it appears to be poorly fitted.

ETA: I bet she's the woman who shows up to a wedding in a lacy white dress.
