In one of the rare moments, a Democrat stood in support. Rep. Laura Gillen, rose up and applauded for Daniel.
13-year-old D.J. Daniel, who was diagnosed with brain cancer and given only five months to live, always dreamed of becoming a police officer. After hearing that he was being bullied by older kids in his community, Trump made him an honorary Secret Service agent in front of the world during his prime-time speech to Congress. 🔥
