emphasis addedAlmost half of Trump voters don't think lawmakers who didn't stand during State of the Union were treasonous
BY JOHN BOWDEN - 02/14/18 11:09 AM EST
Nearly half of President Trump's supporters say he mischaracterized Democrats who refused to applaud during his State of the Union address when he called them treasonous, according to a new poll released Wednesday.
The survey from left-leaning Public Policy Polling (PPP) found that 48 percent of Trump supporters say Democrats were not being "treasonous" when they did not applaud the president's remarks to Congress, while 36 percent say they were.
Among all voters, just 20 percent say Democrats were being disloyal to the country by not applauding Trump, while 68 percent say the president was wrong to say that.
When asked whether coordinating with Russia to win a presidential election was more serious than not applauding the State of the Union address, 63 percent of survey respondents said it was more serious, while 14 percent said not applauding was a more intense sign of disloyalty.

Un-American, traitors, and treasonous, who don't hesitate to bully the rest of us around. No MORE! Our voices combined will overwhelm all others, especially when viewed in the light of truth!
