Trump accuses Dems of 'treasonous' behavior
By Jordan Fabian - 02/05/18 03:12 PM EST

President Trump on Monday accused Democrats of "treasonous" behavior during his State of the Union address, escalating partisan tensions during a crucial stretch for Congress.

Trump took aim at Democratic lawmakers who refused to applaud during his speech last week when he mentioned his achievements during his first year in office, a reaction he called “un-American.”

"Can we call that treason? Why not?" the president said during a speech in Ohio. "They certainly didn't seem to love our country very much."

Mr. President, you have much more serious problems then the DEMS not standing for your STOU.  Turn to to your right and take a look at your DOJ and your FBI; perhaps you should do something about their treasonous behavior. Starting with instructing your AG to take action.

Its an election year. I don't think its a bad idea to riff off of the petulent image the democrats cut at the SOU & beat em over the head with it all the way to November.

Besides, they DO hate their own country.

Hyperpartisanship and treason may coincide in the worst cases.  But it's really bizarre to accuse people of treason for not applauding your speech.  He sounds like a demented authoritarian.

No, we can’t call it treason. The term has a specific definition and consequences in our laws and should not be cheapened by people for political purposes. It happens way too often on both sides.

My first thought as well.  Declaring those who don’t applaud the leader’s speech as being “treasonous” does sound like the type of thing they do in authoritative dictatorships. 

I suspect that if Barack Hussein Obama had called Republicans, who didn’t applaud him, “treasonous” most Trump supporters would have been outraged.  Now that Trump has done that about Democrats……….

And you sound like someone whose candidate lost the primary to Donald Trump.

This ^^^^.

They need to be hit and hit hard for it.  Hang it around their necks.

You sound like a deranged sports fan.  Try and look at this objectively.  If Obama accused you of treason for sitting through his speech, I don't think you would appreciate it.

Some people really need to grow a pair.

First, when your enemies are busy destroying themselves digging ever deeper holes there's no reason to try to help dig.

Second, this use of the word treason only renders its use meaningless like so many other words the left loves to use and debase.

The democrats have been committing Treason for a LONG time now and FINALLY we have a president willing to say so!
