In the brutal throes of the Washington, D.C. summer, female reporters are reportedly getting barred from the Speaker's lobby for — wait for it — wearing sleeveless dresses.
According to a CBS News report, one "young, female" reporter even tried to craft makeshift sleeves out of notebook paper to avoid being ejected. (It didn't work.) On Twitter, CQ Roll Call reporter Kellie Mejdrich said she was told she'd be removed from the Speaker's lobby if she wore a sleeveless dress again.
Can confirm I was warned the next time I would be removed https://t.co/M0BTcFYchO
