It shouldn't have been a difficult decision.
During his Tuesday State of the Union address, President Donald Trump issued a challenge to the members of Congress before him.
"If you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support," he said. "The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens."
Republicans stood and applauded. Democrats didn't budge from their seats. It was a striking contrast. Trump knew it, too.
"You should be ashamed of yourself, not standing up," he told Democrats.
Imagine telling someone a week ago that congressional Democrats wouldn't publicly agree with that statement. He or she would have laughed at you because it was so absurd. Even Democrats who prioritize illegal immigrants over Americans would have the political sense not to admit it openly. Right?
Wrong. This wasn't the only moment like this.
Trump introduced Anya Zarutska, the mother of Iryna Zarutska. Last fall, a man fatally stabbed the 23-year-old daughter. The video of her murder -- and the casual indifference of her fellow passengers -- is haunting. Finding out that the alleged killer had been arrested more than a dozen times previously was infuriating. The soft-on-crime policies of leftist prosecutors have deadly consequences. Trump chided Democrats for not standing to recognize Anya Zarutska.
Trump also recognized Sage Blair.
"In 2021, Sage was 14 when school officials in Virginia sought to socially transition her to a new gender, treating her as a boy and hiding it from her parents," Trump said. He continued, "After she was found in a horrific situation in Maryland, a left-wing judge refused to return Sage to her parents because they did not immediately state that their daughter was their son."
Fortunately, Sage today knows that she is a woman.

It is what happens when they worship the father of lies.
The real problem is that Dem voters would follow Dems off a cliff if told to do so. Dem voters are much like muslims in that way.
Not all of them.
“Not all of them.”
Not all muslims are lemmings either, but a LOT are, just like Dems.
Satan is a harsh master.
Feterman showing himself head and shoulders mentally healthier above his Dem party was not on my bingo card.
He stood up .
And condemned his party on legion media for not standing.
The only sane one on their side of the isle apparently.
Reminiscent of the first jury poll in Twelve Angry Men.
“The only sane one on their side of the isle apparently.”
He’s recovering from brain trauma, and still more patriotic and clear thinking than most Dems.
Whoever was in charge of the dems hive mentality that night must have been sweating that decision like the guy in the “what button do I press?” memes.
almost no one understands Trump's strategy of driving them and their left wing insane...I see a lot of concern expressed about Trump being out of control - not able to keep his mouth shut. I see a brilliant strategy instead - Trump stokes so much anger it prevents the other side from acting strategically.
Chemtrails?
Correct.
It also created a great visual. Picture/thousand words.
Since many voters previously Dem voted for Trump this last time your statement is blatantly false.
In the past I saw 7 suburban precincts flipped back and forth depending on the candidates and not the party. From 60% D to 80% R to 87% D to 90% R.
We write off Dem voters and lose when they are really independent voters. When the Dem activists assume Independent voters are Dem when they are really Independent, the Dems win.
