Congressional Democrats, still sour over Hillary Clinton’s loss to President Donald J. Trump, remained mostly seated and still throughout the president’s first address to Congress. Guy offered his analysis on this, and the consensus is that this was his best speech yet. More importantly, it showed that Trump had become presidential. The tone was softer, though it did not shy away from the promises he made on the campaign trail.
Yet, as Trump discussed support for law and order, law
enforcement, and other subjects that usually garner bipartisan gold claps, Rep.
Keith Ellison (D-MN) and Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) were seen
debating with whether to stand or remain seated during some of Trump’s biggest
applause lines. Independent Journal Review’s Benny Johnson tweeted that the two
were whispering, “Should we stand?”
The most powerful moment came when President Trump
introduced the widow of Navy SEAL Ryan Owens, who was killed in action in Yemen . Carryn
Owens, breaking down in tears, received the longest ovation of the night—and
rightfully so. But Schultz and Ellison remained seated, like cold stones.
Sobbing widow of slain
Navy Seal receives 2 minute standing ovation.
Debbie Wasserman Schultz & Keith Ellison stay firmly seated, no claps
