Democrats Plot Protests At Trump's Speech To Congress; Will "Refuse To Shake Hands"
ZeroHedge ^ | February 2, 2016

The sore losers of the Left, after refusing to attend Trump's inauguration, have apparently decided to double down on their childish behavior by plotting a number of protests at Trump's upcoming address to Congress. According to The Hill, House Democrats are rallying behind a plan to make the newly-elected President's first address to Congress as uncomfortable as possible by inviting guests they say will be harmed by his policies, including ethnic minorities, LGBT people, undocumented immigrants and the disabled.

"It is our hope that their presence in the House Gallery will remind President Trump that he is not the arbiter of patriotism,” reads the letter. “This country belongs to all of us, and his rhetoric of intolerance will not stand."

"We want to send a strong message to the [president] that he cannot push these communities aside, and he cannot change the fabric of this country," they wrote.

"Instead of celebrating the very diversity that makes our country a beacon of inclusion and equality, he has chosen to vilify, bully and alienate women, immigrants, people of color, people with disabilities, and people of differing faiths," the Democrats wrote in their letter.

"His rhetoric emboldens those who seek a scapegoat for the challenges this country faces."

Amazing that Trump was able to launch a full assault on such an overwhelming percentage of the population yet still win a national election.

Good. Then the President might offer to shake each and every Democrats hand and get it recorded with multiple cameras in use.

Ignore them.

“This country belongs to all of us.”

Since when have any of them truly believed that.

“women, immigrants, people of color, people with disabilities, and people of differing faiths”

I think that should address these poster children directly, and ask them why they’re participating in this slander against him, when he’s trying to improve the lot of all Americans, including them.

Watch Trump single out these “guests” as important to his effort to MAGA.

I seem to recall a GOP congressman was sanctioned, reprimanded, publically scolded etc by the dems AND THE GOP LEADERSHIP simply by saying “you lied” during Obama’s address.

If the dems bring people into the session to ridicule our president and upset the normal decorum of the chamber, that is wrong.

This is an obvious LIE and not supported by the facts. False media narrative. The TV 'reality' portrayed by the media is a distorted view of the facts on the ground.

It's no wonder our enemies find us weak and inept. We have absolutely no idea of anything besides social media, soundbites from the television, and that Trump is either very bad, or Hitler.

We trust these morons to govern and represent us? There is a real world out there and they had better become part of it!

The kids in our local grade school have more maturity than those whiney S.O.B.’s. Finally someone is standing up to the liberal whiners and like spoiled children, they cannot help themselves but to be total spoiled brats. I would love to be the one to dole out the ass paddlings they all deserve.

I hope someone Calls in the INS, Border Patrol, ICE and the U.S. Marshalls before the speech and informs them that Sitting Congressman are busing in Illegal Aliens to the Well of Congress.

Then Inform Secret Service the Rats are planning on putting the President’s safety in harms way by bringing in Criminal Aliens to the speech.

I hope they have the Border Patrol Trucks right outside the H.O.R. amd starts filling them up.

Let’s see your Identification please. No, Congressman you don’t get to vouch for this individual...

Remove the demonstrator’s.

No one should expect the President to give a speech under these kind of circumstances.

This is effing ridiculous.
