Democrats’ behavior at Trump’s Congress address ‘completely disgraceful,’ press secretary says
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt did not hold back in criticizing Democrats for their behavior during President Donald Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress. In a scathing rebuke, Leavitt described the Democrats’ actions as “completely disgraceful” and accused them of being out of touch with the American public.
According to Leavitt, the Democrats’ behavior during Trump’s speech was the most shameful moment in the history of presidential addresses. She expressed disappointment in the way Democrats booed Trump and disrupted the proceedings by chanting “USA.” Rep. Al Green, a Democrat from Texas, even went as far as shouting and waving his cane at Trump, prompting Speaker of the House Mike Johnson to have him removed from the address.
Leavitt also called out Democrats for failing to stand for “everyday Americans” who were honored by Trump during his speech. She highlighted the case of DJ Daniel, a 13-year-old cancer survivor who was officially sworn in as a member of the Secret Service. Despite the heartwarming moment, not all Democrats joined in celebrating Daniel. Leavitt also pointed out that Democrats ignored the mothers of Laken Riley and Jocelyn Nungaray, who were both tragically murdered by illegal immigrants.
In response to the Democrats’ behavior, Republicans are now working to penalize Green for his disruptive actions. Rep. Troy Nehls of Texas is leading an effort to file a censure resolution against Green, citing his defiance and bringing disrepute to Congress. Green, however, has stated that he is willing to accept any punishment for his behavior.
During his address, Trump promised to take America’s destiny into its own hands and declared that this would be the country’s greatest era. He pledged to cut down inflation costs, wage war on drug cartels, and enhance border security funding for deportations as part of the administration’s crackdown on immigration.
The controversy surrounding the Democrats’ behavior at the joint session of Congress underscores the deep political divides in the country. While Republicans are pushing for consequences for disruptive behavior, Democrats are standing by their actions. As the fallout continues, it remains to be seen how this incident will impact future political discourse and unity in the nation.
