 WASHINGTON, D.C. — Last night, Congressman Maxwell Alejandro Frost (FL-10) sent a loud and clear message on behalf of the American people by walking out of Donald Trump’s Presidential Joint Address of Congress. Frost, who joined a handful of Members of Congress in taking a stand and walking out of Trump’s speech, took off his suit jacket during the middle of Trump’s address and flashed a t-shirt that read “No Kings Live Here”— 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 let him rule this country like a king. In a statement, Frost says: “Donald Trump is many things – a liar, a grifter, a wanna-be-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. “Tonight, the American people saw a desperate liar stand in front of a podium and spit out excuse after excuse as to why he hasn’t been able to make your life better. Why he can’t make eggs cheaper, 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. “The people of this country are seeing right through the lies. We won’t let up.” Read Oversight Committee Chairman and Trump Lackey Threatens to Have Rep.
