I saw a good deal of upset among Republicans regarding a refusal of Democrats to stand for recipients of medals of honors during the State of the Union. Will you match that same energy when you denounce President Trump’s horrifically cavalier attitude toward the lives of American service members?

When awarding the Medal of Honor to deserving service members, President Trump started off strong by advising that “there's no ceremony that can be much more important than this.” However, before even awarding the medals, he strangely began insisting that he doesn’t “get bored” about war. And then, not even seven minutes into his speech, he bizarrely drew attention to golden drapes and started talking about the ballroom (that, notably, never received the proper permits) he is building. At this Medal of Honor ceremony, he bragged that the ballroom will “be spectacular, be the most beautiful ballroom.” — https://rollcall.com/factbase/trump/transcript/donald-trump-remarks-medal-of-honor-ceremony-march-2-2026/
There is no way you can’t see how wild it is for the President of the United States to behave and speak this way. You would never put up with this from a Democratic President, and I would not want you to. Please don’t put up with it from a Republican one.
It’s never too late to choose to do what’s right.
