I don’t like the dumb placards or walking out. But let’s get real. This lack of decorum started with the Republicans. With the “you lie” shout at Obama’s State of the Union and the constant heckling of Joe Biden during his speech.
I don’t think it does any good. You want to sit there is silence that’s fine. But, to those crying about what happened last night, did you criticize Republicans when they showed childish behavior during Obama and Biden?
I don’t think anyone disagrees with you on that this isn’t the first time and I think we all agree on decorum. But you can’t deny, last night was atrocious on so many fronts. They took it to a new low.
A large number don’t show up
Al Green being so disruptive that he had to be removed
Refusing to stand when the President walked in the room
Elected officials walking out at different times
The placards, the signs, the tee shirts, the costumes, and the paddles
And failing to acknowledge heroes, victims of crime and a child suffering from cancer
It wasn’t just one or two isolated incidents. It was the entire Democratic contingent.
“When they go low, we go high”… Effing hilarious. Criticize Trump all you want, but they made a mockery of the institution last night.
