Todd Starnes: I had a front-row seat at Trump's State of the Union -- You won't believe what I saw

FULL TITLE: Todd Starnes: I had a front-row seat at Trump's State of the Union -- You won't believe what I saw

I was honored to be among those Americans selected to sit in the House gallery at the State of the Union address Tuesday night. I was a guest of Rep. Jody Hice, a Republican congressman from Georgia.

It was one of those uniquely American moments – where strangers sat together – many of opposing political views – united under the belief that we are a free people, one nation – under God.

My seatmate was a Democrat from Illinois. She runs a non-profit food pantry in Aurora. We found common ground by talking about food – the belief that no American should ever have to go to bed hungry.

Also in my section was an investment guy from the Silicon Valley and a Packers fan from Wisconsin – and a decorated Army Ranger from Texas. He was gracious as all of us shook his hand and thanked him for his service.

In advance of the big night I had to provide the congressman’s staff with my name and birthdate and Social Security number. It all made perfect sense what with the president and the vice president and all the other important people in the House chamber.

So you can imagine my surprise when I learned there were several DACA recipients in the audience and one was seated in our midst. How she gained entry into the building without a Social Security card is beyond me.

Rep. Mike Levin, D-Calif., acknowledged that he had invited an illegal immigrant to attend the SOTU. She had been an intern on his campaign in 2018. The congressman could have selected a law-abiding, American taxpayer to watch the SOTU but instead, he chose...

Yes, the flag is specifically why I selected that picture.

The Democrats are actively destroying the United States of America.

And not by accident, either.

Out of state students had to produce all sorts of proof about who they are, what state they are residing in and then these out of state students would be forced to pay out of state rates.


My peeve—not a pet peeve—my granddaughter was born a U.S. citizen in St. Louis, Mo and raised in Costa Rica. She paid out-of-state tuition for 2 years at San Diego State. She had to get a Calif. Drivers License, be registered to vote, etc. etc. to finally get in-state tuition. Illegals got in-state tuition from the first day. Still pisses me off.

With you on that. My son, born in Texas, went to work in Florida and enrolled in the local community college (Valencia).

He was 3-days short of the cut-off for in-state tuition. . .THREE DAYS. . .and they said nope, pay out of state rates. . .but illegals paid in-state.

Still pisses me off.

yep

The Democrats are trying to turn the United States into S&G, openly.

This is yet another reason they like Barack. He is their spirit of antichrist leader.

It’s rather shocking to watch this in real-time.

“To defend the dignity of every person, I am asking the Congress to pass legislation to prohibit the late-term abortion of children who can feel pain in the mother’s womb. Let us work together to build a culture that cherishes innocent life. And let us reaffirm a fundamental truth – all children – born and unborn – are made in the holy image of God.”

“The Republicans rose with a mighty force and roared their affirmation of the president’s remarks. It was, in my estimation, the most passionate and emotional moment of the evening.”

“But the reaction from Democrats was stunning albeit predictable. They refused to stand in agreement that newborn children deserve the right to live.”

“There they sat for the nation to see – many dressed in white – as they sat stone-faced in their seats.”

“A few days ago I caused a bit of an uproar when I said on “Fox News at Night” that there was an evil in the Democratic Party. After what I saw on Tuesday night — I absolutely stand by those words. There is something demonic happening within the ranks of the Democrats.”

She has a social security card. That is the second illegal act they commit once they illegally break into the country.

>>But it is legal for a non-Citizen to volunteer and not be paid.

Isn’t that foreign collusion?

“They were checking Social Security cards at the door? “

No. Attendees had to provide that info days ahead of the event so they could be checked out.

Would have been neat to see both of them frog-marched out of the place. Thinking upon this, I realize that possibly there were a few other elected officials there that could also have been righteously removed from the premises for various reasons. Now that would be a sight worth seeing & could have made some added material for the president’s speech.

If Democrats had their way, their illegals would be replacements for citizen voters. I believe that was the case in Orange county Cali-fornia.

When I try to post a link, I have the HTML Sandbox open at the link tutorial. Evidently I’m missing a step. But thank you, kindly.

Nothing like loudly proclaiming your gender bender with a flag like the one in the picture.
