House Speaker Mike Johnson addressed the “shameful” behavior several Democratic lawmakers showcased at President Donald Trump’s address to Congress, during which these lawmakers “missed their opportunity” to show some unity.
Johnson was asked about his performance in the House speaker chair during former President Joe Biden’s 2024 State of the Union, specifically how he stood when the president issued a call for the Hamas terrorist group to release its hostages. The speaker was then asked why some Democrats did not perform similarly when Trump took moments in his speech to honor people such as 13-year-old pediatric cancer survivor D.J. Daniel, which Johnson said was “a great question.”
