Following President Donald Trump’s State of the Union speech Tuesday night, some jaw-dropping reactions have emerged from far-left Democrats.
Democrat Rep. Janelle Bynum of Oregon commented on the moment when President Trump asked everyone to stand who agrees that the job of the U.S. government is to protect American citizens over illegal aliens.
Democrats all remained seated. She claimed it was “racist” and “uncomfortable”.

President Trump honored multiple American heroes with medals during his speech, including a Purple Heart award to a National Guard member who was shot in the head by an Afghan refugee in Washington D.C., and Congressional Medal of Honor awards to a wounded pilot who participated in the dangerous mission to capture Venezuela dictator Nicolas Maduro, and another to a 100-year-old Korean war veteran.
Democrat Rep. Robin Kelly of Illinois laughed and mocked the awards, sneering, “It was like an award show, you get a medal! You get a medal! You get a medal!”
“Absolutely despicable,” declared RNC Research.
