Trump Supporter CRASHES Democrat’s Tiny State of The Union Counter-Rally | Drew Hernandez

Democrats and allied progressive groups staged a “State of the Swamp” event in Washington, D.C., as a theatrical counter‑program to President Donald Trump’s 2026 State of the Union address on Tuesday night. The gathering featured the Portland Frog Brigade, whose members packed the National Press Club in inflatable frog costumes as organizers framed the night as “joyful, radical, peaceful resistance” to the Trump agenda.

Video from the event shows a man identified as performance artist Louis Robert Potylo taking the stage in a full giraffe suit and shouting to the crowd about his history of clashes with immigration authorities. In one clip that quickly spread online, liberal commentator JoJoFromJerz told the audience she had just walked backstage to find “a suitcase full of dildos,” joking on the microphone about wondering what kind of party she had entered.
​
Conservative outlets seized on those images, describing the scene of inflatable frogs, a costumed giraffe, and the explicit backstage dildo claim as proof that Democrats had turned their State of the Union rebuttal into a clown show.

Separately, Democrats hosted another alternative State of the Union event where Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran man at the center of a high‑profile deportation and detention case, was introduced on stage as an honored guest.

At that second event, BlazeTV host and conservative commentator Sara Gonzales was escorted out by security after she shouted that MSNBC anchor Joy Reid was “a loser” while Reid was speaking, an exchange Gonzales later posted about on social media.

Also during the Democrats’ tiny “People’s State of The Union” counter event, while Democrat Senator Chris Murphy was giving a theatrical speech about immigrants, a Trump supporter CRASHED his speech by taking the stage and shouting “GO TRUMP, GO TRUMP” and telling Murphy to his face, “Hey, Murphy, you’re a scumbag.”
