Watch: Dems Double-Down On Refusing To Put Americans First After SOTU Meltdown<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news,<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

Democrats\u2019 disdain for American priorities hit new lows during President Trump\u2019s State of the Union, where many refused to stand for victims of illegal alien crime or even basic protections for citizens. Now, they\u2019re doubling down with excuses that expose their true allegiances.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Building on their po-faced refusals to\u00a0applaud\u00a0pretty much any commons sense statement during the speech – as we detailed in our\u00a0previous coverage<\/a>\u00a0– top Democrats are now openly trashing the address as \u2018divisive\u2019 while justifying their boycott.<\/p>\n

According to reports, roughly half of House and Senate Democrats skipped the event altogether, opting for counter-rallies like this clown show:<\/p>\n

There, they criticized Trump\u2019s policies on immigration and the economy, accusing him of harming Americans through border security measures and cost reductions that have actually benefited working families.<\/p>\n

Over 80 Democrats announced their boycott ahead of time, including high-profile figures like House Minority Whip Katherine Clark and Senators Chris Van Hollen and Adam Schiff. Instead of engaging with Trump\u2019s message of renewal, they chose to rally against what they called his \u201cunpopular agenda,\u201d even as polls show broad support for securing the border and prioritizing citizens.<\/p>\n

In the aftermath, Democrats unleashed a barrage of complaints that only highlighted their detachment from everyday Americans.<\/p>\n

Debbie Wasserman Schultz called the speech \u201cabsolutely revolting,\u201d specifically recoiling at the idea of prioritizing Americans over illegal aliens.<\/p>\n

NEWSNATION: Why didn’t you stand when President Trump said Congress should work for Americans?<\/p>\n

Mark Kelly dismissed it as a \u201cdisappointment\u201d that tried to \u201cdivide us as a nation,\u201d despite his own refusal to stand when Trump called for putting American citizens first.<\/p>\n

Democrat Mark Kelly says that Trump’s speech was a “disappointment” that tried to “divide us as a nation.”<\/p>\n

This is coming from a Democrat who literally REFUSED to stand up when asked to put American citizens before illegal aliens.<\/p>\n

Even more disturbing, Robin Kelly was caught laughing and mocking American heroes and veterans as they received medals from Trump. This kind of contempt for those who\u2019ve sacrificed for the country is beyond sickening.<\/p>\n

CBS News, not exactly a bastion of conservatism, admitted Democrats buried themselves: \u201cThey can\u2019t even applaud common sense things!\u201d The contrast between American citizens and illegal aliens created a \u201cvisual moment\u201d that exposed their priorities.<\/p>\n

? IT’S OFFICIAL: Even FAKE NEWS CBS is sounding the alarm that Democrats BURIED themselves at the State of the Union<\/p>\n

“They can’t even applaud common sense THINGS!”<\/p>\n

“Americans citizens vs illegal aliens created a VISUAL MOMENT.”<\/p>\n

Vice President JD Vance torched Democrats for their spineless performance, pointing out \u201c\u2018The American government should stand for American citizens, not illegal aliens,\u2019 that shouldn\u2019t be controversial \u2014 but apparently, it was to the Democrats.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vance also highlighted their herd mentality: \u201cSomething that I saw that probably most TV viewers didn\u2019t see was really the cowardice \u2026 They were all looking around for cues from their colleagues because they didn\u2019t have the courage to stand on their own.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the heart-wrenching moment during the speech with a young girl previously assaulted by an illegal alien, Vance urged \u201cWhatever your politics; whatever your views on immigration policy, can\u2019t we all stand and clap for an innocent young girl who shouldn\u2019t have been assaulted and was being held by her dad?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was such a heartwarming moment. I think every American, Democrat or Republican, thought that was a great moment for our country,\u201d Vance continued, adding \u201cThe only people who didn\u2019t believe that apparently were the Congressional Democrats in that Chamber. I think it shows again how broken their party is.\u201d<\/p>\n

? JUST IN \u2014 JD VANCE DROPS TRUTH: “Democrats wouldn’t stand for that innocent little girl ASSAULTED by an illegal alien, but managed to survive!” ?<\/p>\n

\u201cDemocrats wouldn\u2019t stand for that innocent little girl ASSAULTED by an illegal alien, but managed to survive!\u201d Vance stressed, further slamming them for not standing against child transitions without parental consent or for putting American citizens first.<\/p>\n

Amid the Democratic meltdown, Senator John Fetterman emerged as the rare exception, admitting he stood and clapped for key moments while questioning his party\u2019s behavior.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, for me, you know, I never check to see what the rest of people in my party would stand up and clap for,\u201d Fetterman stated, adding \u201cI clapped with a lot of those things that it seemed like others. I stood up and clapped to recognize the family that lost their daughter, the Ukrainian girl stabbed to death in North Carolina. And I stood up and I clapped that political prisoner from Venezuela, how you can\u2019t celebrate those kinds of things?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI also celebrated all the veterans that were in the audience as well, too,\u201d Fetterman continued, adding \u201cAnd even more the political things like Erika Kirk. I stood up and I clapped for her as well, too.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCan\u2019t we just be more kind to a widow? We just shouldn\u2019t be that long ago that a widow with young children has her husband murdered, how we can\u2019t just acknowledge that as well, too,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

Senator Fetterman says he stood up and clapped for many moments during the State of the Union \u2014 Erika Kirk, Iryna Zarutska, all the military awards.<\/p>\n

But he still can\u2019t understand why the rest of his party didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Overton (@overton_news) February 25, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n

Fetterman\u2019s willingness to applaud victims and heroes stands in stark contrast to his colleagues\u2019 petty obstructionism, underscoring how far the Democratic Party has strayed from common decency.<\/p>\n

This boycott and the excuses that followed aren\u2019t just political theater\u2014they\u2019re a clear signal that Democrats would rather pander to open borders and globalist agendas than stand up for the American people. Trump\u2019s address showcased real wins: secure borders, economic growth, and peace through strength. Yet Democrats chose division over unity, proving once again they\u2019re the obstacle to making America great.<\/p>\n

As midterms approach, voters won\u2019t forget this display of anti-American pettiness. It\u2019s time to hold them accountable.<\/p>\n
