An already polarized Congress is split over a new debate…the colours of a now-infamous dress.
Lawmakers weighed in Thursday night on a Tumbler photo of a dress that quickly became a viral sensation, with much of the public taking firm stances on its hues.
In one camp, are those who say the lacy frock is white and gold. The other side contends the dress is a definite blue and black.
Rep. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) was adamant he knew the truth behind the dress colour controversy:
I know three things: 1) the ACA works; 2) climate change is real; 2) that dress is gold and white.
But Rep. Mark Takano (D-Calif.) used the fierce dress back-and-forth to aim a zinger at Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas): “I've never been more confused in my life.”
Takano then took matters into his own hands:
Just asked my Legislative Director at 10:30 pm to draft a House resolution tomorrow about the dress being black and blue.
And finally, former congressman John Dingell got in on the fun with possibly the best reaction of them all:
Thought I had a reasonable understanding of what Twitter is/can be used for. Especially for an 88-year old. But here we are, with a dress.
