"What a sad commentary on the Democratic Party, that the idea the American government should stand for American citizens, not illegal aliens—that shouldn't be controversial, but apparently it was to the Democrats."
"Something that I saw that probably most TV viewers didn't see was really the cowardice, because there were a few Democrats who sort of politely clapped. They didn't want to stand up—I guess maybe they were worried about being primaried by the far left fringe of their party. But they were all looking around."
"I'm inviting every legislature to join with my administration in reaffirming a fundamental principle—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."
During Trump's State of the Union address, the President called on lawmakers to stand in support of prioritizing American citizens over illegal immigrants. Most congressional Democrats remained seated, prompting Trump to rebuke them. Vice President Vance subsequently criticized this response in a Fox News interview, describing it as cowardice and a sad commentary on the Democratic Party. Vance noted that some Democrats politely clapped but refused to stand, appearing fearful of primary challenges from the party's left wing. He emphasized that their hesitation reflected a lack of individual courage, as they looked to colleagues for cues rather than making independent decisions on what they considered an obvious, common-sense statement.
