Pelosi's first tweets after Kabul bombings about Women's Equality Day

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi fired off a series of tweets Thursday celebrating Women’s Equality Day – her first public comments since explosions in Afghanistan injured at least three U.S. Marines.

"Despite progress, women across the nation still face barriers to full equality: from shameful pay disparities to the unfair economic impacts of the pandemic to the brazen assault on the right to vote. At this moment, Democrats are committed to Building Back Better with Women." "More than a century ago, after generations of marching and fighting, courageous suffragists finally won full and equal citizenship and representation in our democracy with the adoption of the 19th Amendment. We honor those who moved our nation closer toward full equality for all," she added.
