WASHINGTON (AP) — Melania Trump is hosting a luncheon on International Women’s Day. It’s her first solo White House event as first lady.
The U.N.-designated day commemorates the push for women’s rights. Women across the U.S. are observing the day by skipping work and shopping, and attending rallies.
At the White House, the first lady welcomed about 50 women seated at tables adorned with floral centerpieces of pharaoh tulips and sweet pea flowers in shades of purple.
Attendees included her stepdaughter, Ivanka Trump; Vice President Mike Pence’s wife, Karen; White House counselor Kellyanne Conway; and Education Secretary Betsy DeVos.
Reporters were led out of the room as the first lady began to speak.
She and President Donald Trump planned to have dinner later Wednesday with Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and his wife, Heidi.

Ok this is a slap in the face of every American woman. I’m sure these "international women are all rich and flew over on their private jets too. The first slut is an embarrassment just like herr little stubby hubby.
The article says that the press was lead out of the room just as she began to speak. I wonder which one of Michelle Obama’s speeches she read.
So where’s her red dress? She probably doesn’t even know what International Women’s Day is, other than a day for rich women to eat a good lunch.
…and wears black to celebrate the end of equal pay…
Hey, maybe let’s don’t observe International Women’s Day by calling women “sluts?”
And, uh, AP, women are protesting inequality by playing hooky and going shopping? Really?
And when they didn’t move fast enough, they were told to get the “lead out!”
