While President Donald Trump was on Capitol Hill on Tuesday night delivering a powerful, commanding State of the Union address that laid out a vision for a prosperous and secure America, the radical Left was busy hosting what can only be described as a fever-dream circus at the National Press Club.While the adults were discussing policy, the “State of the Swamp” counter-event, hosted by the anti-Trump group Defiance.org, descended into a literal “Animal House” scenario.The optics weren’t just bad; they were humiliating.The event, hosted by the anti-Trump group Defiance.org, featured a “who’s who” of people the American electorate rejected or tuned out years ago.Robert De Niro: The actor, who seems unable to speak without veering into a scripted rage, called the President a “lunatic” and claimed the country is “imploding.”The Media Gaslighters: Jim Acosta, Don Lemon, and Mehdi Hasan were all in attendance, presumably to console each other over their plummeting relevance.The ‘Lawfare’ Brigade: George Conway and Glenn Kirschner showed up to continue their endless, failed predictions of the President’s “imminent” demise.According to The Guardian, the seating area was filled with green, frog-themed swag.The display was a tribute to the so-called “Portland Frog Brigade,” a group that wore inflatable frog costumes during last year’s demonstrations against federal immigration agents.WATCH:WATCH: People in frog costumes are dancing at liberal activists’ “State of the Swamp” protest. pic.twitter.com/CbZQY1SaBa— Off The Press (@OffThePress1) February 25, 2026Oregon Representative Maxine Dexter actually took the stage with the dancing frogs behind her.Maxine Dexter: “I’m a mother. I’m a physician, and I have a flag. I am the proud representative for Oregon’s third Congressional district… And tonight, I defy Trump and his authoritarian project by standing in joyful, radical, peaceful resistance with the Portland Frog Brigade.”WATCH:!function(r,u,m,b,l,e){r._Rumble=b,r[b]||(r[b]=function(){(r[b]._=r[b]._||[]).push(arguments);if(r[b]._.length==1){l=u.createElement(m),e=u.getElementsByTagName(m)[0],l.async=1,l.src="https://rumble.com/embedJS/u5o49d"+(arguments[1].video?'.'+arguments[1].video:'')+"/?url="+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+"&args="+encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify([].slice.apply(arguments))),e.parentNode.insertBefore(l,e)}})}(window, document, "script", "Rumble");Rumble("play", {"video":"v742btw","div":"rumble_v742btw"});The “entertainment” didn’t stop at frogs. The Left reached into the bottom of the barrel to bring out Louis Robert Potylo, a “performance artist” known as “Robby Roadsteamer.”Potylo, who has built a career out of being detained by ICE during unhinged protests in Portland and Minnesota, took to the stage in a giraffe costume while bragging about his arrests.WATCH:!function(r,u,m,b,l,e){r._Rumble=b,r[b]||(r[b]=function(){(r[b]._=r[b]._||[]).push(arguments);if(r[b]._.length==1){l=u.createElement(m),e=u.getElementsByTagName(m)[0],l.async=1,l.src="https://rumble.com/embedJS/u5o49d"+(arguments[1].video?'.'+arguments[1].video:'')+"/?url="+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+"&args="+encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify([].slice.apply(arguments))),e.parentNode.insertBefore(l,e)}})}(window, document, "script", "Rumble");Rumble("play", {"video":"v742byi","div":"rumble_v742byi"});Political commentator JoJoFromJerz said additional commentary from inside the venue, recounting an interaction backstage:“Hi, guys.
