  • Democrats woke up furious the morning after some sought to bring the fight to President Trump during his address Tuesday to a joint session Congress, arguing their protests had backfired and underscored why their party lost November's election in the first place.

The article from MSN discusses the reactions of Democrats to former President Donald Trump's joint address to Congress, highlighting a mix of frustration, petulance, and what the author describes as "self-owns." Democrats, according to the piece, were visibly upset by Trump's speech, which they perceived as filled with falsehoods and divisive rhetoric. The article points out several instances where Democrats' responses were seen as overreactions or missteps, such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's tweet about Trump's comments on socialism, which was criticized for misrepresenting his words. Furthermore, the piece notes the Democrats' struggle to counter Trump's messaging effectively, with some members of the party engaging in what the author considers to be unproductive or even counterproductive behavior, like tearing up copies of the speech or making dramatic exits. The overall tone suggests that Democrats' reactions might have inadvertently played into Trump's narrative, portraying them as unable to handle his political style or messaging.
