‘Get your act together’: Bay Area rep chased down in airport over Democrats’ response to Trump speech
Story by Alex Baker • 11h

(KRON) — The Democratic Party has been taking heat for the past several days over the behavior of many Democratic House members during President Donald Trump’s joint address to Congress Tuesday. While some members declined to show up, others wore pink in protest of Trump’s policies’ effects on women. Still others brandished signs that have since been mocked as “giving bingo.“
 
Public displeasure with the Democrats’ shambolic showing during the address has now apparently led to one Bay Area representative being chased down at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport.
 
“Jim Barrett, a flight attendant, politely chased me down at Chicago Airport,” tweeted Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Fremont) on Thursday. “‘Sir, I am a Democrat but the way the party behaved was embarrassing. Made us look heartless. I don’t care who is up there, you stand for the boy with cancer. Be more rational & get your act together.”

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
