Mass. Democrats are not impressed with Trump’s address to Congress
Democratic lawmakers from Massachusetts were not impressed Tuesday night by President Donald Trump’s first address to a joint session of Congress.
While Republican leaders heralded the speech as a “great night for America” and a “home run,” Bay State Democrats took a different stance.
