"Political Fashion Statements: The State of the Union Attire"
Lawmakers and their guests made political statements through fashion at Joe Biden's State of the Union address, with some wearing white for reproductive rights, red for Washington statehood, and yellow and blue for Ukraine. Former Representative George Santos, despite his controversial past, wore a bedazzled collar and a red pin in tribute to a murder victim allegedly killed by an undocumented immigrant. Marjorie Taylor Greene wore a "Say Her Name" t-shirt and handed Biden a pin in reference to the victim. Some Democratic lawmakers showed support for a Gaza ceasefire by wearing red-and-white lapel pins, while others wore Palestinian keffiyeh scarves and watermelon earrings to show solidarity with the Palestinian cause.
