During President Trump’s State of the Union address, Vice President JD Vance told Fox News on Bill Hemmer’s America’s Newsroom program Wednesday he saw “cowardice” among congressional Democrats after many remained seated while Republicans stood for Trump’s line that government must protect American citizens, not illegal immigrants. Vance said some Democrats “politely clapped” but looked to colleagues instead of standing, suggesting fear of being primaried by the party’s left. He called the behavior a “sad commentary” and the moment became a viral clip circulated by Trump allies. Democrats defended their conduct, saying applause isn’t a meaningful measure of policy agreement. (foxnews.com)
