TEHRAN, Feb 06 - Democratic Senator Kirsten Gillibrand has scorned US President Donald Trump’s job success claims, asserting that he has merely opened up more space for Democratic women in the Congress.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - The New York senator sent out a tweet late Tuesday, saying, “President Trump seems not to understand that the female jobs he created were Democratic women in Congress."
Gillibrand’s comment was in response to Trump’s claimed success in job creation for women.

Following Trump’s remarks, Democratic women of the House stood to their feet and applauded each other’s success in the recent midterm elections.
As the cameras took a shot of Representatives Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, the first two Muslim women elected to Congress, Trump said, “You weren’t supposed to do that.”
The lower chamber of the US Congress is, at the moment, dominated by Democrats, after the 2018 midterms, which saw a record number of women running for and assuming office.
