Democrats responded with thumbs down and boos to President Donald Trump’s call to repeal and replace Obamacare during his address to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday night.
“Obamacare is collapsing and we must act decisively to protect all Americans,” Trump said. “So I am calling on all Democrats and Republicans in the Congress to work with us to save Americans from this imploding Obamacare disaster.”
His words were met with boos and a thumbs down from Democrats including Rep. Judy Chu (D-CA).
Not quite a “you lie!” moment but @RepJudyChu did a big thumbs down for call to repeal Obamacare. #Jointsession

Resist.
Sound more like he’s describing gastric distress…
… go take some Pepto, Donny, and STFU!!
I liked when Dems gave a standing ovation to lowering prescription drug prices and Republicans gave polite applause from their seats.
Same went for paid family leave and childcare–only Democrats applauded with enthusiasm.
See, they’re not just obstructionists.
Barf! I wonder if he considered the optics. He looks like a bobblehead up there. I can’t take another minute of it.
This is all such a lie, lie, lie to raise his approval rating.
Just wait! I predict it. He ain’t that crazy . . .
It had to be Chu.
