The identity politics being overplayed by liberal women in Washington, on display last night during the president’s State of the Union last night, further sets women back rather than advancing our futures. (4/6)

We don’t need to think alike.

We don’t need to act alike.
(5/6)
We simply need to be present and be working for ALL of the people who elected us.
