During President Donald Trump’s address to Congress, Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib shouted over him after he spoke about protecting U.S. citizens over people in the country illegally. The article also recalls Omar’s criticism of the administration’s response to fraud allegations in Minnesota and mentions a protest by Rep. Al Green.
The article reports that Omar and Tlaib shouted while Trump urged members of Congress to stand if they agreed that the government’s first duty was to protect American citizens. Trump said lawmakers who did not stand should be ashamed of themselves. The article describes the congresswomen’s shouting as “unintelligible” and “angrily.”
It also says Omar criticized the administration’s response to fraud in Minnesota, where defendants were convicted of stealing from social-service programs, and notes that Al Green walked around the House floor with a sign reading, “BLACK PEOPLE AREN’T APES.”
