FIRST ON FOX: Guests attending President Donald Trump’s speech before Congress on Tuesday evening heaped praise on the 47th president and his policies in a video obtained by Fox News Digtial.
“From the bottom of my absolute heart and my family’s heart, we truly appreciate everything that you’ve done for us, and it means absolutely the world to bring justice to my daughter, to Jocelyn, and to every other family, to not have to go through what we’re going through. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for everything,” Alexis Nungaray, the mom of Jocelyn Nungaray, a 12-year-old girl who was murdered by illegal immigrants said in the video, which was exclusively obtained by Fox Digital.
“Thank you, President Trump, for giving me this opportunity to be a light for foster care community and the adoption community,” another woman, Haley Ferguson, a former foster child invited by the first lady, said in the video.
