David Axelrod condemned the Democratic heckling during President Trump's address to Congress, calling some acts, like those of Rep. Al Green, despicable. He stressed the need for leadership that aims to heal political divides rather than exploit them for gain. Axelrod referenced Abraham Lincoln's call for unity and healing from the Civil War as a contrasting example of true leadership. He admitted some Democrats' refusal to stand for notable individuals recognized by Trump could be perceived as an opportunity missed for bipartisan respect and healing, recommending a focus on problem-solving rather than division.
I thought what Al Green did was despicable... you should try and solve problems and heal our differences.
Abraham Lincoln's call for healing was in stark contrast to today's political expediency vs. leadership dichotomy.
