US President Donald Trump lashed out at two lawmakers after their protests during his State of the Union address.
President Donald Trump has said United States Representatives Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib should be sent “back from where they came from” after the two Democratic members of Congress shouted in protest during his State of the Union address.
During Trump’s address on Tuesday, Tlaib, a Palestinian American, and Omar, a Somali American, criticised Trump as he extolled his administration’s immigration crackdown and its immigration enforcement actions.
Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform late on Wednesday that the two Muslim lawmakers had behaved like “crooked and corrupt politicians” who should be removed from the US.
“When you watch Low IQ Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, as they screamed uncontrollably last night at the very elegant State of the Union, such an important and beautiful event, they had the bulging, bloodshot eyes of crazy people, LUNATICS, mentally deranged and sick who, frankly, look like they should be institutionalised,” Trump wrote.
“When people can behave like that, and knowing that they are Crooked and Corrupt Politicians, so bad for our Country, we should send them back from where they came – as fast as possible,” Trump said.
