I watched and had to stifle my gag reflex. But once I saw how MANY brave people were being recognized I decided to hang in there to see the recognition of our local school crossing guard. That is not to diminish those who were singled out, but many of them were victims of circumstance, and there are heroes who innovate and who are trying to save us from ourselves who would never be acknowledged by this president; it was pathetic. P.E.C.

We didn't watch; not only would you have to look at Rump, but the camera would've framed the picture to include the smug faces of Pence and Ryan. Too much smarm.
