Well, it was to be expected. As my colleague Sister Toldjah reported, Democrat Rep. Al Green (TX-09) beclowned himself and got booted out in the first 10 minutes of President Donald Trump’s State of the Union Speech. This was quickly followed by Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) deciding he would pick up his toys and go home — literally.
Virginia Sen. MARK WARNER just walked out of Trump’s SOTU speech.

Former President George W. Bush press secretary and Fox News political analyst Ari Fleischer called it what it was: disrespectful.
Walking out in the middle of a State of the Union is complete BS.
Show some respect or don’t show up at all.

Democrats Are Bringing Epstein Survivors to SOTU. But Why Weren’t They Invited to Biden’s Speeches?
Despite Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (NY-08) instructing his Democrat caucus to sit in “silent defiance,” Rep. Ilhan Omar (MN-05) and Rashida Tlaib (MI-13) failed to get the memo.

.@realDonaldTrump lambastes Democrats on holding up the DHS funding bill while @IlhanMN shouts at him from her seat.“You should be ashamed of yourself — not standing up. You should be ashamed of yourself – not standing up to end deadly sanctuary cities that protect the criminals and enact serious penalties for public officials who block, in many cases, drug lords, murderers [from getting deported].”
Oh boy.
President Trump asks Congress to stand up if they believe it’s the duty of the U.S. government to protect American citizens over illegal aliens.
Republicans stand up & applause & cheer.
Almost all on the Democratic side remained seated & still.
(Cuellar clapped).…

Sen. Elizabeth “Fauxahontas” Warren (D-MA) and Sen. Michael Bennett (D-CO) looked as though they were about to break out in tears. Warren looked as though she were muttering under her breath, and Bennett chewed furiously on his lower lip.
President Trump is taking Democrats head-on, blasting them to their faces. This is what scares them: a leader who exposes their lies. My President. This is exactly why I voted for him. pic.twitter.com/vTq5LxG98T

And when President Trump told the story of Sage Blair, a young girl who was being transitioned without her parents’ knowledge or consent before she was snatched from the gender cult, transgender Democrat Rep. Sarah McBride (DE-01) looked as though s/he was going to lose his/er lunch.
Trump recognizes SOTU guests Sage and Michelle for their battle with transgender conditioning and childhood.
Sarah McBride is not amused. #StateoftheUnion pic.twitter.com/KrcaiFd8cw— Gayle Trotter (@gayletrotter) February 25, 2026
So many of our military service members were honored by President Trump this night. One beautiful high point was when Trump honored Army National Guard Specialist Sarah Beckstrom and U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe, the two who were targeted in a Washington, D.C., ambush attack just before Thanksgiving. Beckstrom lost her life, but Wolfe survived and was able to be in the gallery for the speech. In a surprise to many, Wolfe was presented with a Purple Heart for his bravery. Yet Seditious Six member Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) and other Democrats could not even bother to stand.
@SenMarkKelly @CaptMarkKelly this young man….National Guardsman was shot after YOU incited a terrorist to go after our military in DC. After you interfered with military ops…for which you should face a court martial. @SecWar pic.twitter.com/6cLEAgVewT

It was Maya Angelou who said, “When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.” In this State of the Union speech, Trump managed to unmask them for who they really are.
Editor’s Note: With President Trump back in the White House, the state of our Union is strong once again.
