U.S. President Donald Trump demanded the "deportation" of two Muslim Congress members who protested against him during his speech in Congress. Trump shared a post on social media regarding the issue.
2 NAMES TARGETED
In his post, President Trump called for the "swift deportation" of Democratic Congress members Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar, who protested against him.
"THEY SHOULD BE SENT BACK TO WHERE THEY CAME FROM"
Trump stated to Tlaib and Omar, "If people can behave this way and it is known that they are frauds and corrupt politicians who are very bad for our country, they should be sent back to where they came from as soon as possible."
THEY PROTESTED
Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar, the Muslim members of Congress, protested Trump during his first "State of the Union" address of his second presidential term yesterday.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Trump, accusing Democrats of failing to secure the border, said, "Tonight I invite all members of Congress to join my administration and reaffirm a fundamental principle. If you agree with this statement, stand up and show your support. The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal immigrants." Later, when Trump invited all representatives to stand up and show their support, all Republicans stood up, while Democratic Congress members continued to sit.
Responding harshly to this situation from the podium, Trump said to the Democrats, "You should be ashamed of yourselves. You are not standing up. You should be ashamed of yourselves." Ilhan Omar, who loudly responded to Trump's words, said, "You killed Americans; you should be ashamed of yourselves." Trump, referring to Omar, once again said, "You should be ashamed of yourselves," while Omar responded to Trump with the same phrase. Meanwhile, some Democratic Congress members also reacted to Trump's words.
