Democrats Race to Do Damage Control After Refusing to Stand for Americans First

Democrats are scrambling to do damage control after refusing to stand when President Trump asked lawmakers to affirm that their duty is to the American people over illegal immigrants. As many people are already criticizing the party for walking into what many viewed as a carefully laid political trap. With attack ads all but certain to follow, Democrats are now working to reframe the moment and blunt its impact on the 2026 midterm elections.

“The president was setting up Democrats in a really simple and easy way,” Jason Rantz, a conservative radio host, said. “They shouldn’t have fallen for it. It seems pretty easy to stand up and say, actually, no, I support the American people first. That is where I stand. And we can have a nuanced conversation afterwards, if you want, about illegal immigration. But they walked into that trap because it was so easy to set.”

“Well, but that’s not true. I mean, I stand for Americans over non-citizens, and so do all of my colleagues,” Rep. Moskowitz, a Democrat from Florida, replied. “It’s not the Galactic Senate. Just because the emperor says rise doesn’t mean I get up. I’m a different branch of government.”

“I rose for the heroes that were in the gallery, not because the president told me to rise,” he added.

“But not for the other point. I mean, you rose, and thank you for rising,” Rantz said. “I think in those cases, this is an easy moment to be united, whether it’s around Team USA or it’s around any of the people who were featured there. But that’s sending a message that you agree with the statement or the sentiment, and you chose not to stand.”

“Well, I’m sure if Joe Biden told Republicans to rise, they would have leapt from their seat,” Moskowitz replied.
