No one expects a standing ovation for a president’s policies. That’s politics. That’s normal. That’s America.

But when members of Congress refuse to stand for grieving parents, traumatized children, fallen heroes, and courageous law enforcement officers, something has gone deeply wrong in our public life.

That isn’t protest. That isn’t principle. That is moral collapse. And it was on full display during President Trump’s State of the Union Address.

During the speech, time and again, the President paused to honor Americans whose stories should have transcended party. Families who lost loved ones to violent crime. Children who survived unspeakable trauma. Police officers who ran toward danger. Victims who deserved at least a moment of shared respect.

Republicans stood. Many Democrats did not. This was not accidental. It was coordinated.

Imagine being a grieving parent in the gallery. Imagine having your child’s name spoken before the nation. Imagine hoping — just hoping — that for thirty seconds, politics could be set aside.

And instead, half the chamber sits in icy protest.

President Trump noticed.

At one point, after honoring a family devastated by crime, he looked directly at the silent side of the aisle and asked, “How do you not stand?”

It was not a rhetorical flourish. It was an honest question. And no one answered it.

Because there is no good answer.
