"President Trump laid out his “common sense revolution,” proclaiming “America is back” in a rousing speech before a joint session of Congress on Tuesday night, an unofficial State of the Union address.
Perino adds that while no Democrats objected to the ejection of Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) from the House chamber -- and dozens more opted to boycott the speech altogether or exit the room quietly -- the party still showed it "still has no common sense, they have no ideas, and they have no heart."
Former Tennessee Democratic congressman Harold Ford Jr. weighs in on Fox News:
"I'd say this to my party: We have to win on ideas. The disruption was not a good look for the Congress, and as passionate as Congressman Green may have felt, that was not the right moment to do that ..."
Brit Hume, Fox News: "If you ever doubted that Donald Trump is the colossus, the political colossus of our time and our nation, this night and this speech should have put that to rest."
Green shouted that Trump didn't have a "mandate," and after repeatedly bucking warnings to quiet down, the sergeant at arms escorted him out of the House chamber.
CNN host Dana Bash compared Democratic outbursts during President Trump’s speech to interventions by lawmakers from across the pond during heated debate.
The CNN host argued that Trump “set up the Democrats as foils” and that Democratic lawmakers were “all to happy” to serve as foils “because that is what they're trying to find their footing on.”
