Leftists Claim Paul Ryan Banned Women From Wearing Sleeveless Dresses In Capitol. Nope. https://t.co/veIrPktFGx

From The Daily Wire:
The Left has become apoplectic over the notion that Speaker of the House Paul Ryan (R-WI) banned women from wearing sleeveless dresses in the House building. There's just one problem: this has been the House dress code for years.
It all started with a CBS News report about a female reporter who was blocked from entering the Speaker's lobby because she was wearing a sleeveless dress. The reporter, identified as Weekly Standard reporter Jenna Lifhits, attempted to use paper from her notebook as a way to cover up her shoulders, but she still wasn't allowed through.
CBS also noted that Independent Journal Review reporter Haley Byrd was booted from the Speaker's lobby for wearing a sleeveless dress.
...
Cue the feminist outrage....
The problem is that this is not a new policy for the House. Amanda Carpenter set the record straight on the matter:
Wrong. These dress codes have always been in place. Strict rules for female staff who go on Senate floor as well. https://t.co/YtbMU0MvFw

Others concurred:
This is simply wrong. The Speakers' Lobby dress code has been this way for decades. Can be argued it should change -- but let's be factual https://t.co/QDgti2fnGj

I'm used as an example in this and I'll be the first to say:
