In the age of social media, optics are everything.

So the responses to a tweet from Vice President Mike Pence of his and President Trump's meeting with the House Freedom Caucus shouldn't be a surprise.

The problem? The photo of the meeting on the Obamacare replacement bill didn't include a single woman.

As a note: The conservative Freedom Caucus doesn't have any female members.
