In a recent joint session of Congress, Democratic representatives displayed overt disrespect towards President Trump, turning the event into a spectacle marked by booing and protests. The author criticizes their conduct, particularly in response to moments that should transcend politics, such as honoring a young cancer survivor. The article questions the Democrats' commitment to traditional values of compassion and respect, highlighting the backlash against Trump's statements on women's sports and government spending. It raises concerns about the party's identity and values in the current political landscape.
As a lifelong Democrat, I never imagined I would watch my own party embarrass itself so thoroughly - and so publicly - as it did during Tuesday's joint session of Congress.
This boy beat cancer and dreamed of protecting the president. That dream came true when President Donald Trump honored him - a beautiful, human moment that should have transcended politics.
When Trump said biological men shouldn't compete in women's sports, Democrats acted like he'd proposed banning Little League. But most Americans - including plenty of Democrats - agree that protecting women's sports isn't radical.
Are we now the party that supports waste, fraud and abuse?
