Democrats’ disdain for American priorities hit new lows during President Trump’s State of the Union, where many refused to stand for victims of illegal alien crime or even basic protections for citizens. Now, they’re doubling down with excuses that expose their true allegiances.

Building on their poe faced refusals to applaud pretty much any commons sense statement during the speech—as we detailed in ourprevious coverage—top Democrats are now openly trashing the address as ‘divisive’ while justifying their boycott.

According to reports, roughly half of House and Senate Democrats skipped the event altogether, opting for counter-rallies like this clown show:

There, they criticized Trump’s policies on immigration and the economy, accusing him of harming Americans through border security measures and cost reductions that have actually benefited working families.

Over 80 Democrats announced their boycott ahead of time, including high-profile figures like House Minority Whip Katherine Clark and Senators Chris Van Hollen and Adam Schiff. Instead of engaging with Trump’s message of renewal, they chose to rally against what they called his “unpopular agenda,” even as polls show broad support for securing the border and prioritizing citizens.

In the aftermath, Democrats unleashed a barrage of complaints that only highlighted their detachment from everyday Americans.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz called the speech “absolutely revolting,” specifically recoiling at the idea of prioritizing Americans over illegal aliens.

Mark Kelly dismissed it as a “disappointment” that tried to “divide us as a nation,” despite his own refusal to stand when Trump called for putting American citizens first.
