WATCH: Ilhan Omaɾ Shоʋes Fоx Reρоɾteɾ, Refυses Tо Answeɾ Qυestιоns

An intrepid Fox News correspondent stood his ground while being shoved by “Squad” Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-MN) after she and other party leaders refused to explain why they remained seated during some of President Donald Trump’s most bipartisan callouts Tuesday night.

Johnny Belisario, reporting from the bowels of the U.S. Capitol on Thursday, doggedly chased Democrats who were caught on camera sitting stone-faced while Republicans applauded the mother of Laken Riley and Trump’s promise to keep biological men out of women’s sports.

A peppering of questions by Belisario frazzled Democratic senators and congresspersons as they scrambled for elevators and office entrances while trying to escape him. Omar, clearly the most agitated of the bunch, shoved the Fox correspondent out of the elevator doors as he attempted to ask her why she didn’t stand for the speech.

“You need to move,” said the angry congresswoman, pushing Belisario and closing the doors on him. “Have a good day! I need to go to a meeting.”

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) was among the very few Democrats willing to pause and speak about Tuesday night’s escapades, calling the optics not “the best look” for his party.

For the most part, interviewees like Cory Booker (D-NJ) and Adam Schiff (D-DA) said there wasn’t much to clap for.

“The president got before the American people and didn’t talk about how he’ll drive down grocery prices,” Booker said while speed-walking to his next meeting. Schiff (D-CA) replied, “There was nothing the president said that was factual or truthful” before diving into a private room behind his staff.

Others flat-out denied that Belisario had seen them that night.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, or where you got that information,” said Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) after being asked why she never stood during President Trump’s address.

In an absurd moment of television, wheelchair-bound Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) rolled to and fro while waiting for an elevator as Belisario repeatedly asked him why he supports “men in women’s sports.”

“Shorts? They should not be in shorts,” Cohen replies, pretending not to understand the question before wheeling away.

Much of the indefensible behavior by Democrats on Tuesday night culminated in the censuring of Rep. Al Green (D-TX) after he was ejected from the chamber for standing and shouting at President Trump while waving his walking cane. Green defended his actions after being booted, and so did colleagues who came together to disrupt the censuring on Wednesday by blockading the well of the House floor and singing in an attempt to drown out House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA).

Still, the feel-good theatrics didn’t play well on TV, some Democrats privately grumbled, and only served to reinforce the absolute power Trump and Republicans have over Washington, D.C., for the time being.

Many of their callouts were “very silly, and unserious, but I can’t help but feel some level of empathy for them,” one Democratic strategist told Politico. “I’m sure they feel like they have to do something, anything … That wasn’t it.”
