Over 75 Democrats skip State of the Union address

Sen. John Fetterman joins 'America's Newsroom' reacting to Democrats either skipping the State of the Union address or heckling President Trump and refusing to stand on key issues.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

As President Donald Trump delivered his State of the Union address Tuesday, many Congressional Democrats skipped it to attend a Robert DeNiro-headlined counter program called the "State of the Swamp." One group celebrated there, the "Portland Frog Brigade," are quite literally Antifa thugs in cutesy clothing.

By now, you have probably seen these big inflatable frogs, if not from clips of Tuesday’s brain-dead anti-Trump bash, then from protests at ICE facilities, first in Portland, then Chicago, Minneapolis, and across the country.

If you watch the news coverage about these supposedly amiable amphibians, even in most conservative outlets, they are treated as goofy, but harmless, activists playing dress up, not as the dangerous thugs they are. And that is the whole point: It's not a costume, it's a tactical uniform.

The standard-issue........
