Reaction in New Hampshire to President Trump’s address to Congress split sharply along partisan lines, NH Journal reported. House Majority Leader Jason Osborne contrasted his stance with the Democrats’ reaction.
Reaction from Democrats on the House floor watching President Donald Trump speak Tuesday night was so heated, one Texas congressman had to be removed from the room.

As NH Journal described, the scene on the floor grew tense before order was restored.
After ignoring repeated calls from the Speaker of the House to observe decorum, the cane-waving congressman was tossed out of the chamber.

New Hampshire Democrats also weighed in against the speech, NH Journal noted, with Sens. Hassan and Shaheen among the critics.
In fact, U.S. Sen. Maggie Hassan (D) didn’t even wait for the speech before denouncing it, releasing a “pre-buttal” of Trump’s remarks.
