Want to REALLY mock Alyssa Milano?

I do!

Especially now, when her Invective against @realDonaldTrump is at set at Homeless Lunatic.

She said that the Democrats gave women the vote.
Milano has no factual knowledge on any subject.

She simply repeats talking points.

Think "tape recorder."

IT WAS ALL REPUBLICANS.
The first woman elected to Congress was Jeannette Rankin of Montana, a REPUBLICAN.

In 1918, Rankin introduced a resolution that would amend the Constitution to prohibit states from denying women the right to vote.

It passed the House but failed in the Senate by two votes.
On May 21, 1919, U.S. Representative James R. Mann, a REPUBLICAN from Illinois and chairman of the Suffrage Committee, introduced an amendment to adopt the the Susan Anthony Amendment granting women the right to vote.
It easily passed the House and passed the Senate.

Since it was a constitutional amendment, it had to be ratified by 3/4 of the states.

It all came down to ONE VOTE:
REPUBLICAN Representative Harry T. Burn from McMinn County--who was 23 years--old--held the fate of America's women in his hands.

He personally OPPOSED the amendment, but he knew that it was all up to him.

So he asked his mother.

Here's what she said:
"Be a good boy. Do what you know is right."

So against his PERSONAL desires, he voted for the 19th Amendment.

Therefore it was REPUBLICANS every single step of the way.

Why did it fail the first time?

BECAUSE DEMOCRATIC WOMEN ACTIVISTS RIOTED OUTSIDE THE WHITE HOUSE.
AND.

The group that did the rioting was the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA).

THEY PUSHED BLACK SUFFRAGETTES FROM THE GROUP.

Frederick Douglass broke with NAWSA because of their racism.

Susan B. Anthony was a WHITE SUPREMACIST.
Black Suffragettes such as Sojourner Truth and Frances E.W. Harper were pushed out of ALL SUFFRAGETTE MOVEMENTS.

They had to form their own movements, such as the National Association of Colored Women Clubs (NACWC), founded in 1896.
It included Frances E. W. Harper, Mary Church Terrell, and Ida B. Wells-Barnett.

DEMOCRATIC LEADERS ARE HORRIBLE PEOPLE.

Carrie Chapman Catt took a--gasp!--nonviolent and CALM approach, and she got REPUBLICAN James R. Mann to reintroduce the resolution in the House.
So Milano AGAIN proves herself to be an idiot of the highest order.

KEEP HER THE FACE OF LEFTIST ACTIVISM.

She's one of Trump's best allies.

END
ADDENDUM:

REPUBLICAN Harry T. Burn--the deciding vote on the 19th Amendment--was from McMinn County, TENNESSEE.

Sorry I left out his state.
