While President Donald Trump was on Capitol Hill on Tuesday night delivering a powerful, commanding State of the Union address that laid out a vision for a prosperous and secure America, the radical Left was busy hosting what can only be described as a fever-dream circus at the National Press Club.
While the adults were discussing policy, the “State of the Swamp” counter-event, hosted by the anti-Trump group Defiance.org, descended into a literal “Animal House” scenario.
The optics weren’t just bad; they were humiliating.
The event, hosted by the anti-Trump group Defiance.org, featured a “who’s who” of people the American electorate rejected or tuned out years ago.
-
Robert De Niro: The actor, who seems unable to speak without veering into a scripted rage, called the President a “lunatic” and claimed the country is “imploding.”
-
The Media Gaslighters: Jim Acosta, Don Lemon, and Mehdi Hasan were all in attendance, presumably to console each other over their plummeting relevance.
-
The ‘Lawfare’ Brigade: George Conway and Glenn Kirschner showed up to continue their endless, failed predictions of the President’s “imminent” demise.
According to The Guardian, the seating area was filled with green, frog-themed swag.
The display was a tribute to the so-called “Portland Frog Brigade,” a group that wore inflatable frog costumes during last year’s demonstrations against federal immigration agents.

Oregon Representative Maxine Dexter actually took the stage with the dancing frogs behind her.
Maxine Dexter: “I’m a mother. I’m a physician, and I have a flag. I am the proud representative for Oregon’s third Congressional district… And tonight, I defy Trump and his authoritarian project by standing in joyful, radical, peaceful resistance with the Portland Frog Brigade.”
WATCH:
The “entertainment” didn’t stop at frogs. The Left reached into the bottom of the barrel to bring out Louis Robert Potylo, a “performance artist” known as “Robby Roadsteamer.”
Potylo, who has built a career out of being detained by ICE during unhinged protests in Portland and Minnesota, took to the stage in a giraffe costume while bragging about his arrests.

Political commentator JoJoFromJerz said additional commentary from inside the venue, recounting an interaction backstage:
“Hi, guys. I walked into the area back here and I was on the phone with my 16-year-old son and there was this suitcase full of dildos. And I was like, ‘What kind of party is this, exactly?’”
WATCH:
This is the modern Democrat party. They have no platform, no solutions, and apparently, no dignity. Did Trump really break the Democrats this badly?
