This is exactly what he should do. Do the SOTU Show from the Oval Office and explain to the American people that Pelosi and Cummings were using the House chamber for a Tantrum sit in/Orgy/Vagina Costume Fashion Show.
I would love to see him do a SOTU speech in Texas, in a stadium. Set the stage to look exactly like the house. Put chairs on the field just like the house and then have the republicans seated in their normal position and leave the dem side vacant, (or invite the dems to attend and leave the seats empty for those that don’t come). This would really provide great optics.
