“Last night, in general, the Democratic party was so disrespectful,” McNabb said in reference to members of the party who wore pink during the joint session of the congress.
“And they did not stand up for one of the guests. They did not stand up for DJ Daniel, who was the young boy who survived brain cancer. They did not stand up for Laaken Riley’s family, whose daughter literally suffered a traumatic death that never should have happened. And every other guest who was there had a kind of powerful story, and she didn’t have something for that.”

“So it was heartbreaking, and to be honest I wanted me to say that I was surprised, but I am not,” she concluded.
