Dems ditched American heroes for adults in frog suits and tiresome De Niro — all we can do is pity them
For the better part of Trump’s first term, Democrats regularly protested that the president was “shattering norms” in dangerous ways.
Much of their rhetoric revolved around the grand task of preserving them.
But fast-forward to another Trump presidency, and they’re no longer crying about keeping norms intact. They’ve moved to the “if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em” phase — and way, way beyond.
On Tuesday night, many Dem politicians decided to shatter some norms, bigly, and snub President Trump’s State of the Union address.
They skipped a pep rally for awesome Americans like World War II vet George “Buddy” Taggart, National Guardsman Andrew Wolfe — who had a miraculous recovery after being shot by a terrorist on Thanksgiving Eve in Washington DC — and Team USA’s gold-medal men’s hockey team.
