#DemsNeverSat Trends as People Complain About Big Issues Democrats Didn’t Protest
House Democrats (and some Senate colleagues) have been engaging in a sit-in all day to demand votes on gun control legislation, but some people on Twitter are angry that Democrats never got this worked up about other issues.
#DemsNeverSat briefly trended on Twitter tonight as a mix of tweets from liberals popped up to scold the Democrats for avoiding bringing this kind of passion to other issues:
