President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address on Tuesday night toggled between being remarkably dull and profoundly racist. During a screed against undocumented immigrants, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) shouted at Trump, yelling, “You have killed Americans,” and “You should be ashamed.”
The confrontation began after Trump scolded Democrats for not standing and applauding during a portion of his speech during which he claimed that the “first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.”
“You should be ashamed of yourself, not standing up,” Trump said to Democrats in the audience, as the rest of the room rose to their feet and applauded for over a minute. “That is why I’m also asking you to end deadly sanctuary cities that protect the criminals,” he continued. As he spoke, Omar could be heard shouting from the gallery, “You have killed Americans,” and “You should be ashamed,” while jabbing her finger in Trump’s direction. Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), seated next to Omar wearing a pin that read “Release the Files,” a reference to still-unreleased Epstein files, also briefly yelled something in the direction of the dais.
ICE and Border Patrol agents killed two people in Minnesota, the state Omar represents: Renée Nicole Good and Alex Pretti, both of whose executions were captured on video. Omar’s guests for the State of the Union were four constituents from Minnesota who were impacted by ICE’s brutal raid on the state. They include Aliya Rahman, a Minneapolis woman and United States citizen who was dragged from her car and violently arrested in mid-January. Thus far, at least eight people have died nationwide this year at the hands of ICE agents or in ICE custody.
Once again, the Dems blew their opportunity. The SOTU used to be a polite affair, until MAGAs started yelling stuff at Obama. When MAGAs start getting all verklempt about last night's speech, they should be reminded of Boobert and MTG constantly hollering through every speech by a Democrat. They started this.
So why didn't the Dems answer the Traitors chanting "USA, USA" by chanting "Epstein Files, Epstein Files" over and over? When he claimed that the streets were safer, they should have chanted "Murderer, Murderer." When he challenged them to stand up, they should have chanted "Pedophile, Pedophile." And they should have chanted "Liar, Liar" every time he told another lie. THAT would be leadership. MAGA intendS to use film of the Dems just sitting there why he tries to create a gotcha moment (he thought he could duplicate the moment they asked Bondi to face the Epstein victims), so could you imagine if that clip was ruined by all the Dems chanting "Pedophile, Pedophile?" That would have been beautiful.
But Dems are STILL obsessed with being polite to people who are accurately described as traitors, corrupt, racist, mysoginist, violent, stupid, incompetent, and pedophiles. They don't have to be polite to them, and pretend any of their nonsense is worth considering.
MAGA are vicious criminals, domestic terrorists, and the greatest National Security Threat this nation's has faced since the Civil War. They deserve to be excoriated at every opportunity. Elected Democratic should demonstrate a visceral disgust with EVERYTHING that MAGA does, and make it clear to the American people that their behavior is unacceptable, and those who support and participate in it should be shunned by polite society.
MAGA represents only about 30% of society, so the other 70% should be encouraged to turn on them, as harshly as possible. Fire them from their jobs, exclude them from neighborhood activities, shun them at church, make them feel rejected, and unwelcome EVERYWHERE. They are traitors and pedophiles, and we don't have to pretend they aren't. I'm fact, we should remind them to their faces how disgusting we think they are.
Humans are herd animals, and MAGAs are more than most. Cut them from the herd, and most of them will quit MAGA before they lose their herd.
Stop being polite to Evil.
Because Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer are the leaders. Need to get those spineless critters out.
1000%. It's time for the MAGA comedy act of Schmuck & Jeffries to get the hook, and be dragged off-stage. We need Warriors leading us, not cowardly putzes.
