by Ken Meyer | 11:27 am, February 6th, 2018
Representative Claudia Tenney (R-NY) doesnt think Congressional Democrats committed treason by refusing to applaud President Donald Trumps State of the Union speech, but she does agree with him that they dont like America.
The congresswoman spoke with CNNs Ana Cabrera on Tuesday who asked her if she agreed with how Trump went off on treasonous lawmakers who wouldnt applaud his address last Tuesday. Tenney not only agreed with Trump for the most part, she actually reiterated many of his comments all while bashing Democrats for being all about obstruction and failing to acknowledge the issues Trump was speaking about.
I would say it was un-American, and they dont love our country. I dont know if I would go as far as treasonous, but the president is before a large audience and he likes to talk in colorful language. I sat on the Democratic side, and I was frankly appalled at the behavior of the Democrats I thought it was terrible that they didnt [stand] for very American ideas, and why not? Theyre just about resist? What does resist mean? Obstruct. Theyre not interested in dialogue. Not interested in working with us and trying to come up with solutions.
Cabrera followed up by noting that Joe Wilson and other Republicans in Congress protested during President Barack Obamas State of the Union speeches. Penney accused Cabrera of mischaracterizing Republicans, saying the GOP applauded American values during Obamas speeches whereas Democrats will not stand for Trump at all.

(1,604 posts)Ask a conservative whether they love their country, they will get out their flags (American and Confederate, never mind the irony), guns and bibles, wrap themselves in the flag, then tell you that you're not being patriotic enough. Ask a liberal whether they love their country, and they will enumerate areas where things could improve then provide strategies for achieving those improvements. Different modalities of thinking.
