I mean, he's president of the United States. He was elected. They should be there.

I think Democrats would be very foolish to go all Marjorie Taylor Greene here and WWE stuff and so on. I think they should respond. But I don't think they should, you know, heckle and do the kinds of things that some have talked about.

So the man remained, passed out in the blazing noon sun. I guess that’s how the City of Chicago deals with such situations.
