Khanna urges Democrats to show civility in politics

Rep. Ro Khanna, a Democrat from California, criticized his colleagues for not applauding a young cancer survivor during President Trump’s recent address to Congress. Khanna emphasized the need for basic respect and civility even when opposing the president. During an appearance on "Fox & Friends," Khanna stated that lawmakers should debate the facts rather than show disrespect. He expressed that it is important for Democrats to engage with different audiences and share their vision without hostility. Khanna also addressed the party’s need for a new leader, mentioning figures like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and several other prominent Democrats. He highlighted the importance of having a strong economic message to connect with voters. Democrats faced criticism for their behavior during Trump’s speech on March 4, where he honored 13-year-old DJ Daniel, a cancer survivor. Sen. John Fetterman from Pennsylvania also called out his party for not fully celebrating the moment, stating it should be a time of unity.
