During a joint address to Congress, President Trump expressed outrage over the Democrats' perceived disrespect, arguing it was evident when they failed to applaud a child cancer survivor and honored victims of crime. Trump claimed this behavior should have electoral consequences in the upcoming Midterms, asserting that Republicans should utilize video of the event as campaign tools. While some Democrats did stand to applaud, many maintained their protest throughout the address, which was met with criticism from Republican leaders, who emphasized the importance of recognition and respect for all individuals present.
During his speech, House and Senate Democrats protested Trump with signs and refused to stand up or applause throughout.
I was so disappointed that my Democratic colleagues couldn't stand and show love for so many of the Americans that were recognized tonight.
