Responses to Democrats’ disrespectful display during President Trump’s national address have been seen far and wide…
A California Democrat said he was “politely chased down” by a flight attendant at an airport this week who told him his colleagues looked “heartless” for not standing for the 13-year-old boy with cancer who was honored during President Donald Trump’s address to Congress.
Rep. Ro Khanna said the interaction with the flight attendant, whom he identified as Jim Barrett, unfolded in Chicago.
“Sir, I am a Democrat but the way the party behaved was embarrassing. Made us look heartless. I don’t care who is up there, you stand for the boy with cancer,” Khanna recalled Barrett as saying. “Be more rational and get your act together.”
“I replied that a few of us did stand and clap and we must be the party that still believes in kindness, decency, and trying to bring people together,” he added on X.
Devarjaye “DJ” Daniel stole the show during Trump’s address to Congress on Tuesday night when the president introduced him to the audience and officially swore him in as a member of the Secret Service.
“Joining us in the gallery tonight is a young man who truly loves our police,” Trump told the crowd. “His name is DJ Daniel [and he] is 13 years old, and he has always dreamed of becoming a police officer. But in 2018, D.J. was diagnosed with brain cancer. The doctors gave him five months at most to live. That was more than six years ago.”
Daniel received a standing ovation from a majority of the crowd, although some Democrats were seen on camera sitting at various times while Trump was speaking about the 13-year-old.
“Quite frankly, there were moments where I feel like anger at some of the actions that have happened over the past month-and-a-half prevented some of my colleagues from being able to stand up to support the little DJ Daniel,” Rep. Laura Gillen, a Democrat from New York, also told News12 Long Island this week.
“Democrats refused to stand for the brain cancer surviving kid! How awful can one party be?” Outkick founder Clay Travis tweeted.
“Democrats didn’t even stand for the boy who survived brain cancer,” Republican activist Scott Pressler posted on X.
“Democrats refused to stand or clap for a little boy fighting cancer,” Libs of TikTok posted on X. “Truly sick people.”
However, others highlighted the overall importance of the moment.
“This is the first time I can remember crying during a State of the Union. Thank you President Trump,” Meghan McCain posted. “This is so beautiful. Anyone who has been impacted by brain cancer knows how special this is.”
McCain’s father, the late Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., died of brain cancer in 2018.

The Dem voters who voted for the Dems in congress need to look in the mirror long and hard.
REP RO KHAANA TRIES TO CLAIM THAT THE DUMBARAT PARTY IS A PARTY THAT IS TRTING TO BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER, ,IS FULL OF DECENCY AND IS FULL OF KINDNESS AND I SAY HE IS FULL OF SHITSABAR AS ALL AMERICANS CAN ATTEST TO THAT. THE DEMS ARE A BUNCH OF LYING CHEATING CROOKED MONEY HUNGRY RATS THAT ARE JUST LOOKING OUT FOR THEIR OWN WELFARE AND RICHES BY FILLING THEIR COFFERS WITH STOLEN MONEY THROUGH CHBEATING ,UNDERHANDED DEALS AND WHATEVER WAY THEY CAN TO MAKE AS MUCH MONEY THAT THEY CAN BEFORE EITHER RETIRING OR BEING ARRESTED FOR ONE CRIME OR ANOTHER.THEY DID EVERYTHING IN THEIR POWER TO PREVCENT PRESIDENT TRUMP FROM BEING ELECTED BUT FAILED MISERABBLY AND ARE STILL ANGRY THAT HE WON THAT THEY ARE STILL TRYING TO DISRUPT THE PROCEEDINGS OF EVERY ACT THAT TRUMP IS DOING TO REGAIN AMERICA’S PROUDNESS AND GLORY. BUT IF IT IS NOT DONE BY DEMORATS THEN THEY DON’T WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE FACTS AS PRESENTED TO THEM THAT THEY ARE THE ONES THAT ALMOST DESTROYED AMERICA AND STILL WANT TO. MAY GOD BLESS TRUMP AND HIS CABINET AND SEND THE DEVIL’S DECIPLES BACK TO HELL WHERE THEY BELONG. THEY ARE THROUGH HERE IN AMERICA AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WILL PROVE THAT AT EVERY FUTURE ELECTION.
OK, Rep. Ro Khanna, tell us which Democrats clapped and stood for the cancer survivor? We want to know which ones have their heart in the right place.
Partisan polarization and demands for ideological purity and fealty are tearing the country apart, just as our second president foresaw back in 1797. Closed primary elections too often ensure that only party loyalists and hardliners survive to the runoff, and moderates, and the public gets stuck with a choice between “the lesser of two evils.”
