after the two Democratic members of Congress shouted in protest during his State of the Union address.<\/p>\n<p>During Trump\u2019s address on Tuesday, Tlaib, a Palestinian American, and Omar, a Somali American, criticised Trump as he extolled his \u2060administration\u2019s immigration crackdown and its immigration enforcement actions.<\/p>\n<section class=\"more-on\">\n<h2

wrote on his Truth Social platform late on Wednesday that the two Muslim lawmakers had\u00a0behaved like \u201ccrooked and corrupt politicians\u201d who should be removed from the US.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen 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,\u201d Trump wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen 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 \u2013 as fast as possible,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey can only damage the United States of America, they can do nothing to help it,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Omar and Tlaib were among a small group of Democratic lawmakers who protested during Trump\u2019s nearly two-hour speech on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>As Trump told legislators during his speech that the US should end \u201csanctuary cities\u201d \u2013 which limit cooperation with federal authorities such as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Omar and Tlaib shouted: \u201cYou have killed Americans!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Omar wrote later on social media: \u201cI said what I said. I had to remind Trump that his administration was responsible for killing two of my constituents\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Omar represents Minnesota\u2019s 5th Congressional District, which covers the city of Minneapolis, where Trump launched a sweeping immigration crackdown last year.<\/p>\n<p>In January, two US citizens were killed by federal officers in Minnesota while protesting against immigration raids by ICE and customs agents.<\/p>\n<p>Omar is also a member of Minnesota\u2019s Somali American community, which has been repeatedly targeted by Trump for criticism. The president previously said they should also \u201cgo back where they came from\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Tlaib, who is the first woman of Palestinian descent in the US Congress, wrote later on social media: \u201cCan\u2019t take two Muslimas [Muslim women] talking back and correcting him so now he is crashing out. #PresidentMajnoon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Majnoon is an Arabic word that translates as possessed by an evil spirit, mad or fanatical.<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s post on Truth Social singled out Tlaib and Omar, but did not mention Democratic Representative Sarah McBride, who US broadcaster NBC said had also shouted in protest during the president\u2019s speech.<\/p>\n<p>Trump also did not mention Democratic Representative Al Green, who was removed from the floor of the House of Representatives during Trump\u2019s address, for holding a sign that said \u201cBlack people aren\u2019t apes\u201d \u2013 in reference to a racist video of former President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle Obama that was recently shared by Trump on social media.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>US President Donald Trump lashed out at two lawmakers after their protests during his State of the Union address.
