As a lifelong Democrat, I never imagined I would watch my own party embarrass itself so thoroughly — and so publicly — as it did during Tuesday’s joint session of Congress.
From obnoxious booing to childish protest signs to a sitting member of Congress having to be physically removed from the chamber, Democrats turned what should have been a solemn, dignified event into a bad reality show.
And for what?
To go viral on TikTok?
To book a slot on MSNBC to brag about their “resistance”?
Nothing was more disgraceful than when my colleagues refused to stand or clap when 13-year-old DJ Daniel, a brain cancer survivor, was made an honorary Secret Service agent.
This boy beat cancer and dreamed of protecting the president.
That dream came true when President Trump honored him — a beautiful, human moment that should have transcended politics.
Democrats used to be the party of compassion — the party that stood up for the vulnerable and celebrated stories of triumph over adversity.
