Congresswoman Trolls Melania Trump By Wearing Her Dress To DNC

Melania Trump’s billowy white dress was perhaps the second-biggest piece of news to come out of her partially plagiarized Republican National Convention speech last week.

In fact, people were so enchanted with the former model and fashion designer’s $2,190 off-white Roksanda “Margot” dress that it sold out less than an hour after her speech.

Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-Ohio) was apparently one of the lucky few people to get her hands on the outfit, and, in what has to go down as one of the sickest political convention burns ever, she wore it to her address at the Democratic National Convention on Thursday evening.

Which makes it even more hilarious. She looked just as good, if not better, and probably didn't spend more than two grand on it.

Though the dresses looked alike, they weren’t the same size, Beatty suggested with a sly serving of side-eye.

“I have heard others say (Trump's dress) was a zero, or she is a zero,” Beatty said. “But I am a 10.”

~~~

“Well, the internet says that Joyce Beatty wears it best, because she used her own words in it,” Beatty told ET.

She joked: “I am Congresswoman Joyce Beatty, and I approve this dress.”



Go, Joyce!
