"Trump regularly lobs racist attacks at Ilhan Omar. Now he's mad because Omar and Tlaib shouted 'liar' and 'you have killed Americans,' after he described Minnesota's Somali community as 'pirates who ransacked' the state in his SOTU speech, and told Democrats they should be 'ashamed of themselves' for not standing up to applaud his immigration crackdown."
"'You have killed Americans!' Democratic Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Talib shouted at President Donald Trump as he talked about a fraud investigation into the Somali community in Minnesota - to whom he referred as 'pirates' - and illegal immigration."
During a State of the Union Address, President Trump made controversial statements characterizing Minnesota's Somali community as 'pirates' and criticized Democrats for not applauding his immigration policies. Representatives Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib responded by shouting 'liar' and 'you have killed Americans' during the speech. Trump subsequently posted critical messages on Truth Social attacking Omar, Tlaib, and actor Robert De Niro, who frequently criticizes Trump. The post included inflammatory language and appeared to reference a viral video of De Niro discussing Trump's divisiveness. Trump's response focused on the representatives' outburst rather than addressing the substance of their objections to his remarks.
