On Tuesday evening, President Trump spoke to a joint session of Congress – and gave what was reportedly one of the best speech of his career. The most significant moment was obvious, too: his tribute to the widow of Navy SEAL William ‘Ryan’ Owens.
Trump stated:
“We are blessed to be joined tonight by Carryn Owens, the widow of a U.S. Navy special operator, Senior Chief William “Ryan” Owens. Ryan died as he lived: a warrior, and a hero — battling against terrorism and securing our nation. I just spoke to General [Jim] Mattis, who reconfirmed that, and I quote, “Ryan was a part of a highly successful raid that generated large amounts of vital intelligence that will lead to many more victories in the future against our enemies.” Ryan’s legacy is etched into eternity. For as the Bible teaches us, there is no greater act of love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. Ryan laid down his life for his friends, for his country and for our freedom — we will never forget him.”
Democrats initially stood for the widow. But then they sat.
Trump didn’t.
As his widow wept and mouthed to heaven, “I love you, baby,” Trump led a round of applause that lasted two minutes.
According to media reports, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) apparently sat there and didn’t cheer as the special moment progressed, along with Senator Bernie Sanders and others, as shown apparently at the right hand side of this screenshot:
