Sarah Sanders bringing subservient back at WH 'Communicating with the Women of America' event

ThinkProgress @thinkprogress 20m20 minutes ago
At White House women’s event, Sarah Sanders told women to ask men for jewelry. Then things got weird. http://bit.ly/2DbLCgv

During a White House event on Tuesday entitled “A Conversation with the Women of America,” Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders advised women to ask their husbands and boyfriends to buy them jewelry. And things got even stranger from there.

Sanders plug for jewelry came after she introduced a woman named Sharon who told panelists — including White House staffer Ivanka Trump and Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao — that she’s a business owner.

“I’m a jewelry store owner of more than 20 years in the Atlanta area, so I’m ecstatic about the tax reform bill,” Sharon said, at which point Sanders jumped in with some advice.

“Give your husbands, your boyfriends her contact information,” Sanders said, with Ivanka Trump adding, “We’re going to have to send some people your way… my secret skill, matchmaking.”

Buy my jewelry! That's their advice in addressing women's concerns.
Jewelry is a priority?

Meanwhile, in the House, Paul Ryan sees America's kids as a bargaining chip. He plans to keep the govt's doors open by extending CHIP for 1 month.
ONE MONTH of health care for our kids. Maybe.
