Thread: Pelosi, Schumer say Democrats should get 'equal airtime' after Trump address

No more talks with Pelosi and Schumer!

Trump...do your job, use your pen and phone and stop this invasion!

Send them all back home on buses including their UAC's.

They are NOT our children to keep, put in foster care, or release in our country!

With the position comes certain privileges. Included in those privileges is the right to address the nation without equal rebuttal from the same podium. Heck, this isn't a primary run for office or a competition! Affording Congresspersons the same stage and rebuttal time is demeaning to the office of President of the United States.

Well, that's the way I see it anyway.

I see their demands were agreed to. Other than State of the Union, has this ever happened before?
