Trump Says Muslim Lawmakers Omar, Tlaib Should Be Removed From US After Speech Clash

Trump called Representatives Omar and Tlaib 'lunatics' and suggested institutionalization after their heckling during the State of the Union, posted on his social media platform.

  • Posting on Truth Social Wednesday, Trump blasted Rep. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib for heckling during the State of the Union, suggesting they be sent back. He wrote, 'LUNATICS, mentally deranged and sick who, frankly, look like they should be institutionalized.'
  • During the address, Omar and Tlaib loudly objected, with Tlaib wearing a button criticizing ICE, and both left the chamber early, prompting Trump's response.
  • Trump also targeted Robert De Niro, who appeared on MS NOW Tuesday urging resistance, and compared him to Rosie O'Donnell, who is in Ireland trying to return to the U.S.
  • The post revived 2019 rhetoric when Trump told progressive lawmakers to return to their countries, framing his message amid boasts that America is Bigger, Better, Richer and Stronger.
  • Ilhan Omar told CNN she had no regrets about pushing back, and her refugee background from Somalia shaped reactions, she said on Wednesday.
