TV station thinks better of portraying Republican women as simply skirts, legs, and heels
NBC Chicago was looking for a photo to go with its piece on more Republican women than ever running for office, but they realized pretty quickly that they’d made a poor choice by going with a shot of elephant skirts and heels.
Wow, @nbcchicago just deleted this tweet after portraying Republican women as nothing more than skirts, legs, and heels.

Hi, the legs on the furthest left are mine. I’m more than a cute skirt and nude heels. Instead of showing the faces of us, you show our other halves. My name is Caroline Craig, I’m a proud Republican, and I’m more than my legs. @FFL_of_America

Oh they deleted it. How cute. Maybe they found out conservative women actually have torsos.

Additionally, y'all could make a fortune selling those skirts in Alabama.

These women pictured are our members at a political conference, but this photo is absolutely the WRONG photo to use to highlight the historic number of Republican women running for office.

They deleted the tweet & reposted with a different photo, but I’d just like to say:
The fact that a photo of legs in skirts and pumps was used to cover a story on GOP women RUNNING FOR OFFICE is a blatant attempt at sexualizing and infantilizing conservative women. It’s gross.

As one of the women in the original photo, it’s absolutely disgusting to me that someone would try to reduce women who are doing something historic (running for office in record breaking numbers) to a photo of completely unrelated women (the @FFL_of_America ladies) in skirts.

Sorry that the tweet objectified you. It really was inappropriate as you are more than just legs (and identical skirts).
What are three things about the last three years makes you a proud Republican?
