Inject Into My Veins: New Report About Dem Disarray Over Disruption at Trump Address

Democrats stepped in it big time with their behavior at President Donald Trump's Joint Address to Congress. 

They had been warned by House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (NY) not to make a spectacle of themselves, to make a "strong, determined and dignified Democratic presence in the chamber."

But instead, they made fools of themselves not just holding up the silly bingo signs, but creating a ruckus, with Rep. Al Green (D-TX) waving around his cane and getting booted out. Some of them also walked out during the speech and then play-acted about how tough they were after.

Now, there's more evidence the Democrats are in disarray. 

Democratic leadership reportedly has given the disruptors and those who walked out  "a talking to" in meetings and discussions. 

Leadership is "very unhappy" with those who went beyond traditional protest tactics like outfit coordination and refusal to clap, a senior House Democrat told Axios.

  • Roughly a dozen Democratic disruptors — including Reps. Melanie Stansbury (D-N.M.), Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas), Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.) and Maxine Dexter (D-Ore.) — were called into a "come to Jesus meeting" on Thursday morning, the senior Dem told Axios.
  • The top three House Democratic leaders were present: Jeffries, Minority Whip Katherine Clark (D-Mass.) and Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar (D-Calif.).

But the source wanted to stress they were "not getting yelled at."

"They are not being talked to like they are children. We are helping them understand why their strategy is a bad idea," the source said.

Now that's funny, because it surely does sound like they are getting yelled at like children when you have to give them a "talking to" to behave. And it's pretty hilarious. You have to love the dysfunction this shows — they're trying to get their radicals under control. Except their extremists probably outnumber the folks who understand how bad that whole scene was for the Democrats. That's why they're in such trouble with the American people — because the policies and actions are extreme. 

Then, on top of that, this is a bit of an indictment on Jeffries since they ignored his admonishment, and did it anyway. He's not able to ride herd on them as Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) did when she was speaker. 

And it doesn't look like admonitions are working. 

Even during the censuring of Green on Thursday for his bad behavior Tuesday evening, you still had people being disruptive and even singing "We Shall Overcome" as though they were fighting segregation in the South in 1960.

It was a shameful appropriation of the song to defend ridiculously bad behavior. And it was just downright embarrassing for them. It makes them look patently silly. If they're trying to regain any credibility in the eyes of the American public, they just blew it again.

So keep it up, Democrats, that will help ensure that you never return to power. 


President Trump's speech to a joint session of Congress has radical Democrats in panic mode, and their childish protests won't stop all of the winning.
