From 'classless' to complete support, Wisconsin representatives react to President Trump's State of the Union

MADISON — Wisconsin’s congressional members are speaking out, in regards to President Trump’s State of the Union speech delivered Tuesday night.

In his speech, Trump covered topics from illegal immigration and the building of a border wall, to economic impact, abortion and much more.

State Senator Mark Pocan’s responses:

Less than a month into 2020, this president made a unilateral decision to assassinate an Iranian general without notification to or approval from Congress.

He brought us on the brink of another wholly avoidable and unnecessary endless war.

He has brought peace to no one.

Classless @realDonaldTrump refuses to shake @SpeakerPelosi hand. What a piece of work.

Representative Glenn Grothmann’s respones:

I have also made an ironclad pledge to American families: We will always protect patients with pre-existing conditions – that is a guarantee. And we will always protect your Medicare and your Social Security. Always. –@realdonaldtrump #SOTU

I am calling for bipartisan legislation that achieves the goal of dramatically lowering prescription drug prices. Get a bill to my desk, and I will sign it into law without delay. @realdonaldtrump #SOTU

Whether we are Republican, Democrat, or Independent, surely we must all agree that every human life is a sacred gift from God! –@realdonaldtrump #SOTU

State Representative Bryan Steil’s respones:

Thank you President @realDonaldTrump for bringing up the need to address the rising cost of health care and prescription drugs. In Southeast WI, this is the #1 issue brought up to me by folks. That is why I have cosponsored the SPIKE Act and Lower Costs, More Cures Act. #SOTU pic.twitter.com/uVfaa43BOc

We need to secure our border. I support @realDonaldTrump’s continued focus on border security. In October, I toured the U.S.–Mexico border and met with border patrol agents to discuss ways to secure the border and fix our broken immigration system. pic.twitter.com/1pAXsE2nLN
