During Donald Trump's State of the Union address,eroticism erotic a chant of "USA" rang out across the chamber as a large group of attendees jumped to their feet.
Surprisingly, they were mostly Democratic congresswomen.
In Tuesday night's address, the highest energy moment came when Trump brought up the record amount of women in the workforce, saying women "filled 58 percent of the new jobs created in the last year." That elicited an unexpected celebration from the large group of Democratic women sitting front and center in the chamber.

After the speech, House Speaker Pelosi said she "liked" Trump's pointing out of the number of women in Congress in his speech, but that it needed clarification.
"I liked when he acknowledged it was the largest number of women, he forgot to acknowledge there were only 15 Republicans and 91 Democratic women in the Congress of the United States ... in the House of Representatives," she said.
"I love the way the women just rose to the occasion."
