Just in case you missed any of these.

President Donald Trump delivered his second State of the Union address on Tuesday night. It was, according to progressives, very bad.

Watch:

After Abrams' rebuttal, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.)—as he did following Trump's first speech to a joint session of Congress in 2017 as well as last year's State of the Union—delivered a response via live stream. Democrats and progressives thought it was pretty good, too.
