15 OUTLETSOutlets agree that Trump posted insults about Representatives Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib after they shouted during his State of the Union address, including saying they should be sent back to where they came from. Left-leaning outlets center Trump's personal and deportation remarks and, in some coverage, portray the lawmakers' protest as a response to his rhetoric. Center outlets mostly recount the exchange and include the lawmakers' responses, while varying in how sharply they characterize Trump's post. Right-leaning outlets emphasize the lawmakers' conduct during the speech, with some treating Trump's rebuke as justified.
