Did Trump forget that America has 4 female governors?
President Trump gave a warm welcome to the nation's governors and their families Monday night when he hosted them at the White House. But The Huffington Post noted there was one big problem with Trump's greeting: It didn't seem to include the nation's four female governors. "He welcomed all the governors, their wives, and their daughters last night. It was weird," Oregon Gov. Kate Brown (D), one of the four women governors, told The Huffington Post. Brown said she'd "been there before" and thinks people just "forget there are female governors in the world."
Brown wasn't clear on why Trump only greeted the governors' daughters though. The best reason she could think of: "I did not meet any sons there?"
