"Walked out of the State of the Union because I couldn't sit through hours of Trump's lies, the senator wrote on Bluesky. Americans know the truth: he's spiking prices and wrecking our economy. We're a better country than this."
"As Trump boasted about his crackdown on undocumented immigrants, Tlaib, alluding to Renee Good and Alex Pretti, shouted, They saw the videos, Mr. President! Good and Pretti were fatally shot by federal immigration agents last month in Minneapolis. You have killed Americans! Omar shouted."
"Green had been holding up a sign reading, Black people are not apes, a reference to Trump's reposting of a video that depicted Barack Obama and Michelle Obama as gorillas. The president later deleted the post. Green was also kicked out of Trump's address to Congress last year."
President Trump delivered the longest State of the Union address in history, lasting one hour and 47 minutes. During the speech, he made numerous controversial claims, including assertions that Democrats cannot be legitimately elected, that he ended eight wars, and false statements about gasoline prices. Sen. Mark Warner departed early, stating he could not tolerate Trump's lies and criticizing his economic policies. Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib protested loudly during Trump's immigration remarks, referencing two individuals fatally shot by federal immigration agents and accusing the president of killing Americans. Rep. Al Green was ejected from the chamber before the speech began for holding a sign referencing Trump's reposting of a video depicting the Obamas as gorillas.
