Biden’s State of the Union speech celebrates Brandon Tsay’s heroic actions; calls for assault rifle ban
President Joe Biden praised 26-year-old Brandon Tsay, of San Marino, as an American hero on Tuesday night, Feb. 7, during his State of the Union speech, in which he hailed the Alhambra dance studio operator’s action to thwart a gunman’s Jan. 21 rampage as a symbol of sacrifice while condemning the gun violence that led to 11 dead in a Monterey Park dance hall.
At the mention of his name by Biden, Tsay stood to wave and nod to a chorus of applause from a standing joint session of Congress, including the president’s cabinet and the U.S. Supreme Court. He sat in the First Lady Jill Biden’s viewing box along with other esteemed guests. Tsay was not the only distinguished guest from the San Gabriel Valley attending the speech. Locals and leaders, including Monterey Park Councilmember Henry Lo and Juiley Phun — the niece of 67-year-old Star Dance shooting victim Muoi Dai Ung, among others, were invited by the White House because they personify issues or themes to be addressed by Biden in his speech or embody the Biden-Harris administration’s policies, the White House said.
But he has also pivoted off the praise, using his newfound celebrity to remind people that “life is fragile,” and that “we as a community should spend our precious time reaching out to each other,” he told a Jan. 29 Alhambra Lunar Year gathering, where leaders paid tribute to his courage.
