Democratic protests during President Trump’s speech mocked by liberal media figures

Democratic lawmakers planned multiple protests during President Donald Trump’s address to Congress on Tuesday, but they ultimately fell short, according to liberal voices in the media, including late-night comedian Stephen Colbert.

He barked out one appalling claim after another, but don’t you worry: Democrats are getting ready to fight back with their little paddles,” Colbert said on “The Late Show” following Trump’s speech.

Colbert held up his own paddle that read, “Try Doing Something.”

During the president’s address, Democrats held up paddles that read “Musk steals” and “Save Medicaid,” among other things. The progressive wing of the party turned their backs on the president and wore shirts that read “Resist,” according to reports.

Many women on the Democratic side showed up dressed in fuchsia,” Colbert also added. “It’s the kind of bold protest that says, ‘This is a test print and your magenta cartridge is working.’”

However, the late-night host offered praise for Rep. Al Green’s protest, despite the fact that House Speaker Mike Johnson lawmaker ordered Green to be removed after his vocal disruptions.

Ultimately, Johnson called in the sergeant-at-arms to remove the 77-year-old Texas congressman,” Colbert said. “Now, some people have questioned why so much muscle was needed to remove one old man with a cane. But it turns out it was for a serious reason: when security searched him, they found that he had smuggled in a spine.”
