It’s no secret that many Democrats stayed seated in an apparent act of protest throughout much of Donald Trump’s State of the Union speech Tuesday night.

From the press gallery, this reporter could see many on the Democrat side of the aisle speaking in hushed tones while Trump was speaking or playing on their phones during the speech. – READ MORE

The audience included the president’s family, his Cabinet, four of the Supreme Court justices, many members of Congress along with a guest of their choosing, Joint Chiefs of Staff, and 15 special guests of the president, which include MS-13 victims’ parents, service members, and hard-working Americans.

While offering an amnesty to 1.8 million so-called “Dreamers” — illegal aliens who entered the country as minors — Trump also insisted that “Americans are dreamers, too.”
So tonight, I am extending an open hand to work with members of both parties — Democrats and Republicans — to protect our citizens of every background, color, religion, and creed.

Because Americans are dreamers too. – READ MORE
