Maxwell Frost walks out of Donald Trump speech

The Gen Z lawmaker was not a fan of POTUS' remarks

President Donald Trump maintained the majority of his audience during Tuesday night’s address to Congress, but one Orlando Democrat did not stay for the entire speech.

“Donald Trump is many things – a liar, a grifter, a wannabe dictator – but no matter how hard he tries and how many Republicans in Congress bend the knee and kiss the ring, he will never be king,” said Rep. Maxwell Frost in a press release after he and some colleagues exited.

Frost wore a shirt that read “No Kings Live Here,” which the release described as “sending a loud and clear message that Democrats will fight tooth and nail to protect democracy and ensure Congressional Republicans don’t bow down to the President and allow him to rule this country like a king.”

The Congressman had more to say about Trump.

“Tonight, the American people witnessed a desperate liar stand in front of a podium and spew excuse after excuse for why he hasn’t been able to improve your life. Why he can’t reduce the price of eggs, why he can’t lower housing costs, why the stock market is tanking under his watch, why innocent immigrants and trans people are to blame. All lies,” he stated.

Democratic departures were a recurring theme of the evening. Texas Congressman Al Green was escorted out early during the President’s remarks.

    Oh my goodness, America,
    This Maxwell Frost fella sounds like he may be a confused and disrespectfull Dook 4 Brains Leftist.
    What a pudtskey, then Frost tried to blame The Donald for some of Sleepy Joe and Scrumpy Rumpy Kammey’s ruination of our economey when he said, “Why he can’t reduce the price of eggs, why he can’t lower housing costs, why the stock market is tanking under his watch, why innocent immigrants and trans people are to blame”.
    Our Great Nation laughs in your Lefty Face, Frost ….. just like this: HA HA HA ….. HA HA HA …..yeah real funny Frost.
    Thank you, America,

      This young kid who thinks he’s qualified to walk out of the Presidents speech to Congress may well have been one of the most disrepectful and rude acts this inexperienced, selfish child could have done. Reminds me of that child who didn’t have his way so he took his ball from his friends and walked away!! If you’re going to suceed young child Maxwell you need to learn respect and the fact taht you’re not going to win all the time and losing doesn’t allow you or accept you showing the childish mannerism you showed. As a resident of Orlando I am ashamed to say you’re my congressman!! I will work hard to make sure you aren’t next time around! Certainly the Orlando Community has much better and more qualified people than you!!

        Donald and all his maga supporters who decided to storm the capital on January 6th and beat people with American flags because they didnt like the outcome of a fair election are the real babies who take their ball and go home.

      You all support a man-child who throws tantrums and has the intelligience and emotional development of a 5-year-old. Add to that all of his criminal actions/sexual assaults. Give it a rest attacking our young Americans. It’s so disloyal to this country.

    Gotta love it when the Dumbocrats vie for the title of:
    “Who is the most obnoxious of them all?”
    But who am I to interfere with their competition?

      Trump went to some lengths to criticize House and Senate members, saying there was nothing he could do to satisfy them.

      Au contraire: About half the country would see Putin’s Poodle to the door if he took a job somewhere on the steppes of Asia.
