In a shockingly horrific attempt to turn a sweet moment sour at the very beginning of President Donald Trump’s first State of the Union event on the night of Tuesday, March 4, Democrats in the House Chamber refused to stand or cheer First Lady Melania Trump, instead sitting and scowling at her as Republicans and the crowd applauded.
The first standing ovation moment came as the First Lady was announced and presented to the nation, entering the House Chamber’s viewing gallery in a stunningly gorgeous outfit and slowly walking down the steps with a beaming smile as the densely packed crowd cheered for her and stood applauding her in a sweet moment.
Commenting on that aspect of the moment, the Breaking 911 X account, which is focused on news, said, “First Lady Melania Trump receives standing ovation upon entering the chamber.” Similarly, Eric Daugherty wrote, posting the clip of Melania being applauded, “BREAKING: First Lady Melania Trump arrives in Congress and receives standing ovation.”
