 Democratic Leadership Is Reportedly ‘Confronting Members’ Who Disrupted Trump’s Speech: ‘Their Strategy Is a Bad Idea’
Story by Michael Luciano • 10h

House Democratic leaders have reportedly been meeting privately with members who heckled President Donald Trump during his address to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday.

Trump delivered a lengthy speech that was interrupted early on by Rep. Al Green (D-TX), who yelled that the president did not have a mandate to cut Medicaid. Green was removed from the chamber after refusing to take his seat. The next day, Green made a defiant speech on the House floor and declared, “I would do it again.” On Thursday, the House voted to censure him.
 
A handful of other lawmakers audibly responded to some of Trump’s remarks, though their reactions were arguably tamer than some Republicans’ reactions to some of former President Joe Biden’s speeches to Congress.

“House Democratic leadership is privately confronting members who disrupted President Trump’s speech to Congress,” Axios reported on Thursday. The publication noted a letter issued by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) before Trump’s speech that implored colleagues to maintain a “dignified Democratic presence” during the address.

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

In "democratese," confronting means high fives, fist bumps, and slaps on the back. :beer:

If Democrats actually cared, they would of showed support on the parts of the program that celebrated humanity and wasn't political. Like showing sympathy to victims of crime and little boys battling cancer. As far as I could tell, 99% of democrats supported the interruptions that went throughout the speech.
