Nancy Pelosi and Gabby Giffords also wore white suits at the DemConvention -- but for Hillary Clinton, it wasn't just about suffragette white.
“For four years, people have said to me, ‘I didn’t realize how dangerous he was.’ ‘I wish I could go back and do it over.’ ‘I should have voted.’ This can’t be another woulda-coulda-shoulda election,” she said.
“Remember in 2016 when Trump asked: ‘What do you have to lose?’ Well, now we know: our health, our jobs, even our lives,” she said. “Our leadership in the world and, yes, our post office. As Michelle Obama and Bernie Sanders warned us on Monday: If Trump is re-elected, it will get even worse. My friends, we need unity now more than ever.”
Secretary Clinton’s 2016 loss triggered a historic wave of feminist activism and an increase in women running for office, which was highlighted in a moving montage before her speech called Women’s Suffrage to Women’s March. Many women on Twitter were inspired by the video and the symbolism of the pantsuit. After her speech, the hashtag #StillWithHer trended on Twitter.
Clinton also acknowledged the misogyny that Sen. Kamala Harris will face running against Trump, just as she did during her presidential campaign “I know a thing or two about the slings and arrows coming her way. Kamala can handle them all,” she said.
