‘Perfectly sums up the state of today’s Democrats – acting like angry children instead of leaders. ‘
By Bob Unruh
Democrats attending President Donald Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday entered the room with frowns, consulted each other with pursed lips and glares at the GOP majority, and held signs expressing their politics, which often was at odds with what the American people have chosen.
But the real test of what they are for, and significantly, what they are against, came in their actions during Trump’s speech.
For example, they declined to applaud when Trump announced the capture of the terrorist who masterminded the Abbey Gate attack during Joe Biden’s ill-executed withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan. It left 13 American service members dead.
They refused to applaud a young boy fighting brain cancer as he was made an honorary member of the U.S. Secret Service.
They declined to applaud a call for lower taxes for middle-class Americans.
The White House took note of their performance, explain, “Tonight, President Donald J. Trump delivered bold, forward-looking remarks before a joint session of Congress — highlighting the historic accomplishments already achieved in his second term and setting the course for four years of prosperity and strength.
“Unfortunately, Congressional Democrats were too consumed by their own hatred of President Trump, refusing to show support for lowering taxes, fighting childhood cancer, capturing terrorists, protecting women and girls in sports, or law and order — to name only a few.”
The White House statement noted the comment from former White House spokeswoman Dana Perino, now a network commentator, who said, “The Democratic Party still has no common sense. They have no ideas and they have no heart. They couldn’t even stand for the most inspiring moments of the speech.”

One Democrat, Al Green, was ejected by the sergeant at arms for belligerently badgering the president while he was trying to speak.
I don’t usually put much stock in these speeches, but all of this frowning and glowering by the Democrats is a very bad look.
The American people are seeing with their own eyes that the Democrats simply can’t applaud ANYTHING that is obviously good if Trump is for it.

Halperin explained Democrats’ attacks on Trump lose credibility when they act in an “aberrant” way.
