| House Democrat says he will refuse to shake Trump's hand at joint session |
| 2017-03-01 |
| [WASHINGTONEXAMINER] President Trump will not receive a handshake from at least one senior House Democrat, the politician announced hours before Trump's first speech before a joint session of Congress. "The president needs to work with all people and therefore I will listen to what he has to say today, but I will not greet him and shake his hand," New York Rep. Eliot Engel, the top Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said during a brief speech on the House floor. Engel, like several other politicians, has a long history of taking a seat on the aisle during State of the Union addresses; the positioning ensures that they are seen on television greeting the president as he enters and exits the joint session. But Engel intends the snub as a a rebuke of Trump's attacks on the media, lack of support for investigating the Russia-linked cyberattacks against the Democratic party during the 2016 elections, and other policy disagreements, he said. |

| #13 When nobody was paying attention to the Vietnamese Buddhist monks they found a way. Perhaps the Dems might give that a try. They'll get attention at the very least. |

| #12 Eliot Engel sounds like a grand-stander. Why should Trump or anyone else care. |

| #9 Apparently the Dems weren't even listening because it looked like they had to be reminded to clap about stuff they normally approve of. |

| #8 Crazy Fool is exactly right. Where were these people's parents when they were 3 or 4 or so? That's about when my mother drummed manners into me in no uncertain terms. (Thanks, Mom!) |

| #5 He had a really good speech. Offered to work with the demoncrats, but then smacked them for being twits. Trust fund babies and snowflakes hardest hit while Nancy had a stroke or something... |

| #4 DJT did an absolutely splendid job. Not certain how he could have done better. The dems appeared churlish and inconsequential. Thank you Trump team. Mission accomplished. |

| #3 Yeah... I'm sure Trump is all broken up about it. Children have better manners. |

| #2 I watched the SoU this evening. One of the best presidential addresses I've ever seen, if not the best. I didn't notice this bozeau. |
