AOC: It is almost unthinkable why Senate Democrats would vote to to hand the few pieces of leverage that we have away for free when we've been sent here to protect social security, protect medicaid, and protect medicare.

Green did not “leave” the chamber
Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) just heckled Trump, standing up, shaking his cane at him and telling him, “You don’t have a mandate!” Republicans almost immediately drowned him out with “USA, USA, USA” chants. Green has left the chamber.

Some are saying Democrats shouldn't attend Donald Trump's State of the Union.
I disagree.
They should attend. And the minute he starts speaking, start getting up, one-by-one, and solemnly leave the chamber.
It will be all anyone talks about the next day. And will drive Donald crazy.
