Trump's address to the joint session of Congress, similar to a State of the Union address, was a hate-filled tirade against the poor, working class and marginalized citizens of America. One half of the chamber ate it up. The other half didn’t quite know what to do with itself, save Rep. Al Green who was having none of it. Bernie Sanders gave the proper “unofficial” response to the charade but newly elected Senator Elysse Slotkin of Michigan got the nod to give the official response. It was awful. So we put together what a better response would have been and explain why Slotkin’s was so bad. Enjoy.
