In an absolutely obscene moment during the Tuesday, March 4 State of the Union address, the Democrats in the House Chamber followed up their rudeness to Melania by acting in even more abominable fashion to a young boy fighting brain cancer, who was there for an honorary Secret Service award.
As background, at one point during the evening’s speech, toward the beginning of it, First Lady Melania Trump’s presence was noted so that she could be recognized. While most of the crowd stood to clap for her, however, the Democrats remained seated and glowering, refusing to applaud the sweet and beautiful first lady.
Then, later on, a 13-year-old boy with serious brain cancer he has been fighting for six years was made an honorary Secret Service agent by Trump, a sweet moment meant to be a feel-good one in which everyone could participate. Democrats, however, refused to stand and applaud the young boy’s bravery in fighting cancer.
The “Rapid Response 47” X account, an official White House account described the background of the award. It said, “13-year-old D.J. Daniel was diagnosed with brain cancer and given five months to live — and that was six years ago. Since then, D.J. and his dad have been on a quest to make his dream come true — and tonight, President Trump made him an honorary member of the Secret Service.”
Predictably, the Democrats were skewered for refusing to support the young boy. The Blaze’s X account, for example, wrote, “Democrats REFUSE to stand and clap for a little kid fighting brain cancer.” Similarly, reporter Katie Pavlich wrote, “Democrats are sitting and refusing to clap for a child with brain cancer.”
Richard Grenell, for his part, chimed in and said, “A terminally ill child with brain cancer is given an honorary Secret Service award and the Democrats refuse to stand or clap for the child.” The Right Angle News Network, similarly, said, “BREAKING – Democrats are literally so deranged none of them stood to clap for a small child who survived brain cancer named DJ.” Watch the incident here:

Another account said, “Democrats won’t even clap for a 10 year old brain cancer survivor.” Similarly, still another wrote, “Democrats who can’t even be bothered to stand up and clap for a 13 year-old boy (standing right in front of them) whose suffering from brain cancer, is just about one of the most disgusting thing I’ve ever seen. Instead, they sat there with a scowl on their faces. Scum!”
Kristan Hawkins said, “Democrats refused to clap for a boy with brain cancer. Democrats refused to stand for Laken Riley or Jocelyn Nungaray. Democrats refused to clap for Payton McNabb who almost died after a man spiked a volleyball onto her head. The party of death.” An account named Dustin Mills said, “Democrats can’t even clap for an honorary secret service agent that had brain cancer??? Who would elect these people #StateOfTheUnion”
Bo French, chiming in, said, “Watching the democrats tonight in the chamber refuse to clap for everything good for America, or the First Lady, or DJ, the 13 yr old with brain cancer, or even for the young victims of rape and murder at the hands of illegals, the conclusion is easy. Democrats are demons.”
