OPINION:
I watched in disbelief the disgraceful actions of the Democrats during President Trump’s address to Congress last week (“Juvenile Democrats desperately seek attention during Trump’s address,” Web, March 6). One particularly loathsome anarchist who stood out was Rep. Al Green of Texas, who refused to take a seat and chose to disrupt the assembly, shaking his cane at the president, until he was finally removed by the sergeant-at-arms.
House Speaker Mike Johnson admonished Green, saying the Democrat was violating the rules of Congress with his behavior. As a former law-enforcement officer, I believe Green should have been arrested and cuffed for disorderly conduct and disrupting an assembly. Furthermore, if some deranged man on the street had pulled on an officer what Green pulled during the speech, he more than likely would have been shot.
The Democrats gave no courtesy to the people President Trump recognized during his address. These politicians added insult to injury by ignoring our citizens, sitting down instead of standing up to recognize and show solidarity with them.
These are the same soulless Democrats who, under former President Biden, allowed violent lawlessness—including murder by illegal aliens—to prey upon our citizens for four years. Then they had the unmitigated gall to put up their stupid little signs reading “False” during the president’s speech.
Their latest attempt to gain some support for their childish antics: a video showing several female Democrats in boxing stances, punching the air. Why don’t these women get into the ring for real, perhaps against a trans woman (i.e., a man), who would knock them out with the first punch? After all, they support men competing in women’s sports. They should put their money where their mouths are.
The Democrats have done enough damage to our country and its people. President Trump is offering to clean up their mess. If they had two brain cells between them, they’d close their mouths and let him get on with it.
