At President Trump's State of the Union address, Rep. Ilhan Omar and Rep. Rashida Tlaib shouted objections to his remarks on immigration, wars and Israel. The exchange was described as one of the address's divisive moments.
During his State of the Union address, Trump defended his administration's immigration tactics. Omar shouted, “You've killed Americans!” and Trump replied, “You should be ashamed of yourself.” Tlaib, seated next to Omar, also shouted that Trump was responsible for killing Americans. The article reports that ICE agents fatally shot Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good in Minnesota.
Trump asked lawmakers to stand if they supported prioritizing US citizens over “illegal aliens”; Republicans stood while Democrats remained seated. Later, Tlaib called Trump's claim that he had ended eight wars a lie and shouted “It's a genocide!” when he spoke about Israel. Trump also criticized Minnesota's Somali community, connecting it to a state fraud scandal and immigration.
