Another day, another Democrat having an absolute meltdown because President Trump dared to put America First. Rep. Janelle Bynum (D-OR) is clutching her pearls and screaming "racism" after Trump's powerful State of the Union challenge that asked Congress to stand up for prioritizing American citizens over immigrants.

What exactly triggered this vulnerable House Democrat into her latest tantrum? Trump had the audacity to suggest that maybe, just maybe, Congress should put the needs of hardworking American families before those who entered our country illegally. The horror!

"That was uncomfortable," Bynum whined to reporters, desperately trying to paint Trump's America First message as somehow "racist." Because apparently, in the twisted world of today's radical Democrats, believing American citizens should come first in America is now considered bigotry.

This is exactly the kind of unhinged response we've come to expect from Democrats who have completely lost touch with reality. Bynum represents a swing district in Oregon that Trump nearly flipped in 2024, and her extreme reaction shows exactly why she's so vulnerable heading into the midterms.

"When President Trump asks Congress to prioritize American citizens, he's speaking for the millions of patriots who are tired of being treated like second-class citizens in their own country," said one GOP strategist familiar with the district.

The fact that a simple request to put Americans first sends Democrats into hysterics tells you everything you need to know about their priorities. While families across Oregon struggle with rising costs and job competition from illegal immigration, Bynum is more concerned with virtue signaling than actually representing her constituents.

This is the same party that spent four years calling everything Trump did "racist" while Biden's policies devastated American workers and opened our borders to anyone who wanted to waltz in. Now that Trump is back in the White House and actually delivering on his promises to secure the border and deport criminal aliens, Democrats are losing their minds.

Bynum's meltdown is just the beginning. As Trump continues to deliver wins for the American people, expect more vulnerable Democrats to show their true colors. The question is: will Oregon voters remember this tantrum when they head to the polls in 2026?

This is exactly why Trump won - people are tired of being called racist for wanting basic common sense policies that put Americans first.

I watched that whole exchange live and couldn't believe what I was seeing. The Dem literally started shouting when Trump talked about securing our border and putting American workers first. How is that controversial?

As someone who worked border security for 15 years, I can tell you firsthand that we NEED strong border policies. Nothing racist about protecting our sovereignty.

These Democrats throw around the word 'racism' so much it's lost all meaning. How is putting America first racist? Last I checked, we elected a president to serve AMERICANS, not the rest of the world.

Exactly! It's their go-to response when they have no real argument.
