Three members of Arizona’s congressional delegation, Sen. Ruben Gallego and Reps. Yassamin Ansari and Adelita Grijalva did not attend President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address, but most members had something to say about it on social media nevertheless.
Sonia and I are skipping the State of the Union. We refuse to normalize Trump’s corrupt, racist regime. His cruelty is why Sonia’s partner, Yari, has been detained at ICE’s Eloy facility for over a year.
Tune in at 8pm EST/6pm MST for the People’s State of the Union. We’re… pic.twitter.com/CBCjvlyF5S

I just shook President @realDonaldTrump's hand as he entered the U.S. House of Representatives chamber. It's time to hear about the state of our great American union! pic.twitter.com/lkIzdjgSo1

There was a lot of work to be done to turn around the U.S. economy when President @realDonaldTrump took office. He was up for the challenge, though, and things have been changing for the better over the past year. The President is committed to seeing a prosperous country for…

Tonight, I’ll be joined at the State of the Union by Martin Sepulveda, a seventh-generation Arizonan who has served our country in uniform and his community as a councilman. He’s created jobs as a small-business owner. I’m honored to have him with me. pic.twitter.com/wR9jgkPD52

.@POTUS inherited an absolute mess under Biden.
Thanks to his America First Policies, the Golden Age of America is well underway! 💪

This administration is treating the cartels like the terrorists they are.
No quarter, no mercy.
Their reign of terror is OVER.

Trump’s economy isn’t working for families and small businesses.
I sat down with my #StateOfTheUnion guest, @FALCOext's Greg Fraley, to discuss how the tariffs are crushing Main Street and making "Made in America" even tougher. pic.twitter.com/ArOmkNYXsp

One year in, Trump and Republicans have made Americans sicker, poorer, and less safe.
I’m not going to sit there while he lies and rambles for hours. I’ll be at the People’s State of the Union with @MeidasTouch talking about the real issues facing Arizona families and working…

Donald Trump is moments away from delivering his State of the Union address-but let's be clear: the real state of the union is far too expensive, tearing families apart, rigged for the rich, fearful of a door knock, and worse than ever. pic.twitter.com/rZvS5edCkS

At SOTU, expect lies about the economy as we pay the price. https://t.co/V1PCFyMyNs

Petulent children behavior. Disgusting postions on the issues facing the country. That is the modern D party and that is their voter base.
Politicians who are unwilling to represent their constituents – their bosses – need to make way for those who are. The obvious problem is, of course, that in a democracy one gets the government one deserves. Therefore, do better next election cycle, Arizona.
The democrats prioritize non-Americans over citizens. That’s all you need to know.
As usual Trump did not disappoint! It is refreshing to have someone in the office of the President who actually represents the majority of US citizens!
Ignore the rude haters of the USA & remember their lies will never stop! They hate Trump therefore they hate us. It’s pathetic that these haters filled with hate speech, fell it’s more important to continue hating rather than work together to restore American values! Keep going President Trump. Never give up! Never give in to their vial hatred!
Arizona deserves better than Kelly, Gallego and Grijalva. They do not put US citizens or Arizona first and do not represent me.
Grijalva is the expected petty POS following in her dad’s footsteps. They better run someone capable or you will have her for the next 20+ years! 🤮
Not a chance without a chnage in behavior by the voter base.
This one the best SOTU speech I’ve heard. But the democrats that did attend couldn’t even applaud the statement Trump made that the first obligation of government is the safety of its citizens. When the camera shot to Mark Kelly he looked like shriveled prune. At least he did attend, unlike Gallego, Grijalva & Ansari. Apparently the state of the union isn’t important enough for them, which shows you who they represent. All they do is repeat the same lies over and over, no ideas, and not a clue how to run a government.
