You know your political performance art is a total flop when you lose the MSNBC hosts.
Democrats behaved exactly as you would expect during President Donald Trump’s Congressional address, holding up little signs with messages like “Musk Steals” and “False” so that every time a camera panned to them, they were the center of attention. While this act of defiance may have seemed like a good idea to the elected officials, MSNBC host Symone Sanders-Townsend had a different take.
Look:
Why are democrats just sitting there? The signs are not landing. It is giving bingo! Sigh.

“Why are democrats just sitting there? The signs are not landing. It is giving bingo! Sigh,” she wrote in an X post.
She shared a photo of the stunt, mocking the sign-holding while saying it wouldn’t help the Democrats win back the House.
“B42. B42…BINGO!”
They are not taking back the house with these visuals. https://t.co/Ry6tTiIysJ

“‘B42. B42…BINGO!’ They are not taking back the house with these visuals,” she snarked.
While she reserved the rest of her opinion for television, she noted that “Democratic leadership did not do their members any favors by stifling their desires to speak out.”
I will have more to say in our post speech analysis on the , but tonight Democratic leadership did not do their members any favors by stifling their desires to speak out.

It would appear that she wasn’t alone in her assessment of the behavior:
I’m sorry. This is pathetic.
I’m a liberal Dem and love being that.
But, yea… this is embarrassing.
One of the paddles should say “We Suck”.

They still don’t get it. Everything they did was so Memeable. They don’t have a chance of winning back the house with these optics.

I’m sorry but the Dems should have never brought their asses to the address to begin with… they knew it was going to be a show and this is exactly why Hakeem Jeffries is NOT THE GUY
