Trump’s Strong SOTU Speech Puts Democrats on Defense

Democrats are trying to clean up the mess they’ve made — with some Democrats even calling their Party’s response a "national embarrassment." 

And we hope Democrats continue speaking, because their responses grow increasingly absurd:

• Senate Democrat Leader Chuck Schumer lied that Democrats were "extremely reserved and well-behaved."

• House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries called Republicans "cult-like" for standing and applauding an agenda that puts Americans first.

• House Democrat Whip Katherine Clark defends Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib's yelling as just "pushing back." 

• Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi laughably claimed that President Trump's America First speech ignored "we the people."

• California Rep. Gil Cisneros said it was "wrong" for Republicans to stand for Americans.

• Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz was unable to defend herself for mocking veterans who received the Medal of Honor by calling it an "award show."

• Illinois Rep. Robin Kelly mocked American veterans who received the Medal of Honor: “It was like an award show, you get a medal! You get a medal! You get a medal!”

• Massachusetts Senator Ed Markey called himself an "abolitionist" for boycotting the State of the Union.

• Oregon Rep. Janelle Bynum said it was "racist" and "uncomfortable" for President Trump to ask if the government should serve Americans.

• Virginia Rep. Suhas Subramanyam says President Trump "tried to corner them" when he asked if government should serve Americans.

• Washington Rep. Pramila Jayapal said President Trump "should be ashamed of himself" for asking if the government should serve Americans.
