3:20Now PlayingWhile President Donald Trump delivers his State of the Union address on Feb. 24, a roster of influential actors, elected officials, cultural figures, journalists and veterans assembled beforehand to deliver a live rebuttal.
The "State of the Swamp" counter-addressed included comments from commentator Mehdi Hasan, who suggested the State of the Union was "weak" and "stressed," not strong.
The event was organized by anti-Trump group Defiance.org, the "artist-activist" coalition Portland Frog Brigade and advocacy media network Courier.
