A Democratic congresswoman was caught playing what appeared to be the popular smart phone game Candy Crush during President Trump’s State of the Union address on Tuesday.

Congresswoman Brenda Lawrence (D- Mich) could be seen tapping away at digital jelly beans and gumdrops while Trump delivered his message of “unity” to the nation.

Some fellow members of Congress were seen reading Twitter and emails just beside her.

I saw it. I have no doubt it was intentional. It was their way of showing how little they respect Trump. The optics, however, did not work in their favor, in my opinion.

Typical Black Upbringing in Detroit. Notice, no mention of a father!

Lawrence grew up in Detroit’s northeast side, on Lumpkin Street. She was raised by her grandparents after her mother died when she was three years old. She attended local schools, graduating from Detroit’s Pershing High School. Next she earned her bachelor’s degree in Public Administration from Central Michigan University.

Lawrence had a 30-year career with the US Postal Service, advancing to work in human resources. In the early 1990s, as an active member of the Parent-Teacher Association at her children’s school, she sought and earned a seat on the Southfield Public Schools Board of Education. She served as president, vice president, and secretary of the board.

Lawrence is also an avid Candy Crush player.

It makes me a little uncomfortable to know that the wi-fi was on, and that people were carrying their personal devices into the chamber at all.

So what’s the problem, I think all the Demoncraps in Congress should just take to playing Candy Crush full-time. After all, they do nothing of value there....
