    Dems 'sit on their hands,' refuse to acknowledge vets or economic gains

    Democrats on Tuesday night took their 'resistance' to President Trump to new lengths, with many refusing to even applaud or stand during his State of the Union address to acknowledge economic gains or an honoring of veterans.
    This included during Trump's reference to record-low African-American unemployment and a promise to fix the country’s crippled infrastructure.

    "It was amazing to watch," Donald Trump Jr. told Fox News' Sean Hannity after the speech, saying it looked like Democrats wanted to stand but felt obligated to oppose his father.

    Several pundits pointed out the striking response on Twitter, noting these are the kind of non-controversial items that usually merit applause.

    The Congressional Black Caucus led the opposition, as expected. The roughly 45-member, all-Democrat group vowed early Tuesday to show their discontent with Trump's policies and his reported derogatory remarks about African nations.

    Members during the address chose not to stand when Trump honored Louisiana Republican Rep. Steve Scalise and praised his resolve for returning to work less than four months after he “took a bullet” from a gunman and "almost died.”

    And they chose not join in the applause for a 12-year-old boy in the gallery whom Trump praised for putting flags on soldiers’ graves on Veterans Day.

    “Democrats are no longer just the party of resistance and obstruction, they are now also the party of sitting on their hands,” said the Republican National Committee. “No matter the issue, Democrats chose to sit on their hands tonight...

    That was the worst I have ever seen. Dems usually do not applaud some of the Prez speech at these events, but last night they did not applaud for anything. Not even when the Prez was announced and he walked in, no courtesy to applause. This will surely hurt them in the coming elections. I hope the Republicans make it a major point in their coming campaigns.

    Nancy Pelosi and Corey Booker looked like they were possessed. And the plantation Democrat Cushites were just following their masters lead. No surprises there.

    Was that Roland Martin clapping?! I noticed it last night, but didn’t realize it until a second look that it might be Martin.

    Democrat party is a deluded mess. Hopefully it will have a giant split and decent Democrats form a new party

    One gentleman from the black democratic caucus did applause the unemployment, and if you watch the video it looks like Pelosi turned around and told him to stop.
