Gloria Steinem’s Townhouse Dinner: Clinton’s Unplanned Arrival

Gloria Steinem’s Townhouse

It’s a dark and stormy November night at Gloria Steinem’s townhouse, and Hillary Clinton has something to say about the 2026 election.

“One of my most anticipated moments will be watching donald trump walk into the state of the union through the now more than one hundred women members of the house of representatives . i just want them all to stare at him and say, ‘you fired us from jobs we were qualified for. you insulted us. you demeaned our ambition. you undermined our place in government and society. and we’re here.’”
