In the age of social media, optics is everything.
So, the responses to Twitter from Vice President Mike Pence and President Trump’s meeting with the House Freedom Forum should not be a surprise.

The problem? The photo of the meeting on the Obama-care replacement bill did not include a single woman.
A rare look inside the GOP’s women’s health caucus. https://t.co/SgLmvSpeSM
