Seth Moulton Explains Why He Walked Out Of The State Of The Union Address
February 5, 2020
As President Trump gave his State of the Union address Tuesday night, the partisan divide was clear.
Republicans applauded when Trump said he has worked hard to make America stronger since he took office, and Democrats have been critical of the speech.
Massachusetts Congressman Seth Moulton tweeted that he left the address after the president started talking about what he's done for the military.
I left the #SOTU after Trump—a draft dodger who has mocked Sen. John McCain, Gold Star families, and soldiers with traumatic brain injury—started talking about the good he has done for our military.
