A spokeswoman for New Jersey Democratic congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman confirmed Wednesday that her guest will be Victorina Morales, who was born in Guatemala.

Morales has spoken out about the Trump Organization’s hiring practices. The Trump Organization said Wednesday that it will use the E-Verify electronic system at all its properties to check employees’ documentation.

Remember how Trump put those 5 women in the front row to embarrass Hillary?

And Republicans gave Paula Jones a new nose, paid her legal bills and brought her to the Press party?

But I am pretty sure tRump and the tRump family would not recognize anyone who actually works for them at their hotels. They probably see them as peons.

I'd hang out in the Ladies' room till he was done, and then go take my seat.
