Other Democrats chose not to attend the speech at all

Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., criticized his party the day after President Donald Trump’s address before a joint session of Congress, cautioning that Democrats risk becoming like a blaring car alarm that people tend to ignore.

“A sad cavalcade of self owns and unhinged petulance. It only makes Trump look more presidential and restrained. We’re becoming the metaphorical car alarms that nobody pays attention to—and it may not be the winning message,” the senator wrote in a post on X.

Several Democratic lawmakers held signs up during Trump’s speech with messages including “FALSE,” “SAVE MEDICAID,” “PROTECT VETERANS” and “MUSK STEALS.” Shortly after Trump began speaking, Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) stood up and began shouting that the president didn’t have a “mandate” from voters, and was removed from the chamber on House Speaker Mike Johnson’s order.

Other Democrats chose not to attend the speech at all, while others walked out while Trump was speaking.

“The Democrats should lose the Midterms based on their behavior at last night’s Joint Address to Congress,” Trump declared in a Wednesday post on Truth Social.

Trump declared that “Republicans should utilize the footage provided on the total disrespect they showed to all of those that were honored that night, including young ladies who were killed by illegal migrants, people with terminal cancer, etc. They didn’t even have the common courtesy to stand, smile, or applaud. This could be, on analyzing the full tape of this Historic Event, your full CAMPAIGN TO VICTORY! In other words, Republicans can take what happened last night, and win any Race in the Country.”

Fetterman on Wednesday agreed with Trump’s strong warning toward the terror group Hamas.

“You can choose. Release all of the Hostages now, not later, and immediately return all of the dead bodies of the people you murdered, or it is OVER for you,” Trump declared on Truth Social. “I am sending Israel everything it needs to finish the job, not a single Hamas member will be safe if you don’t do as I say.”

“This is your last warning! For the leadership, now is the time to leave Gaza, while you still have a chance. Also, to the People of Gaza: A beautiful Future awaits, but not if you hold Hostages. If you do, you are DEAD! Make a SMART decision. RELEASE THE HOSTAGES NOW, OR THERE WILL BE HELL TO PAY LATER!”

Fetterman, a big supporter of Israel, announced on social media that he agreed with Trump.

“Free all the hostages or start killing Hamas members again. I fully agree with @POTUS,” the senator tweeted.
House lawmakers voted to censure Green following his removal last week after his outburst at Trump.

The measure passed with ten Democrats joining Republicans in support. Green himself voted “present,” as did first-term Rep. Shomari Figures (D-AL), Fox News reported on Thursday.

“Al Green’s childish outburst exposed the chaos and dysfunction within the Democrat party since President Trump’s overwhelming win in November and his success in office thus far. It is not surprising 198 Democrats refused to support Green’s censure given their history of radical, inflammatory rhetoric fueled by Trump Derangement Syndrome,” House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn., told Fox News Digital.

The outlet noted that the 10 Democrats who voted to censure Green are Reps. Ami Bera, D-Calif.; Ed Case, D-Hawaii; Jim Costa, D-Calif.; Laura Gillen, D-N.Y.; Jim Himes, D-Conn.; Chrissy Houlahan, D-Pa.; Marcy Kaptur, D-Ohio; Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla.; Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, D-Wash.; and Tom Suozzi, D-N.Y.

Republicans moved swiftly on Wednesday to introduce competing resolutions to censure Green with three separate proposals being drafted within hours of each other.
