“The Democrats seem to be falling into trap after trap after trap as he … recognized the people and celebrated the people he pointed to in the gallery and their stories while Democrats sat glumly on their hands through all of that,” he said.

“It was a terrible look,” Hume said, adding that Green’s disruption was a “bad look” for Democrats.

Hume then argued that “politically speaking,” he believed that Trump’s Tuesday evening address just weeks after retaking the White House, was “pretty powerful stuff, as powerful as I think I’ve heard.”
