    Apart from all the members of congress who remained seated, as was already mentioned. I’m guessing neither AOC nor Bernie Sanders stood up and applauded if they were there.

      Yes, about half of Democrats weren’t applauding like seals. Half still were, which is unacceptable.

          No one said it was unanimous. It was still hundreds of sitting members of congress, both democrats and republicans.

          And people do try to condemn the specific members of our government who support the genocide, like Joe Biden. And you know what happens? People like you pop-up and defend them and deflect.

          You literally just spent the entirety of yesterday trying to get me to shut up about condemning genocide support and talking about holding genocide supporters politically accountable.

            No, I did not literally do that at all. In any way. That’s just a lie. I have never tried to get you or anyone else to shut up about condemning genocide.

            Why are you lying?
