On Tuesday night, President Donald Trump gave a speech to Congress. It was the longest address to a joint session of Congress in modern history.
Michigan Democratic Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin gave the Democratic response following Trump’s address, during which she criticized Trump for prioritizing helping wealthy people and raising prices. Sen. Slotkin also invited Andrew Lennox, a veteran who was recently fired from the Ann Arbor Veterans Affairs office, to join her. Before that announcement, The Metro spoke with Lennox to explore the consequences of his firing and what he makes of Trump’s actions thus far.
