Dems refused to stand during Trump’s State of the Union — because they reject American pride
In Tuesday night’s State of the Union, President Trump laid out a question, and a choice for the midterms: Are you for Americans or not?
“Tonight, I’m inviting every legislator to join with my administration in reaffirming a fundamental principle,” Trump said.
“If you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support: The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.”
Democrats remained frozen in their chairs.
Yes, the State of the Union is political pageantry. The yelling from the opposition party and the over-excitement from the party in power are to be expected at this point.
But even for the sake of optics, the Democrats refused to stand because they genuinely believe people who are here illegally are on equal footing as an American like me.
