DESJARLAIS TO TRUMP: YOU EARNED THIS NIGHT

(WASHINGTON, D.C.) -Congressman Scott DesJarlais (R-TN-04) released the following statement praising President Donald J. Trump's 2025 State of the Union address. "President Trump laid out a clear path forward for the United States to enrich our economy, strengthen our national defense, and restore American energy independence. Tonight was a night to celebrate the many accomplishments his team has made so far. The Trump Administration has been hard at work eliminating woke DEI policies, overburdensome regulations, and wasteful government spending. Most importantly, after four long years of open borders under the Biden Administration, President Trump was able to tell the American people that illegal migrant border crossings have hit a historic low. The behavior that was displayed by those on the Left tonight were unconscionable. Proper respect and decorum for the president is expected out of any decent human being, especially those elected to serve in the United States Congress. Make no mistake, these antics will not deter the focus House Republicans have to deliver on our promise to further advance the America first agenda." Rep. DesJarlais was able to congratulate President Trump as he left the House chambers. "Thank you, Mr. President, you earned this night." ### Video of Rep. DesJarlais congratulating President Trump can be found HERE .
