(Washington, DC) – President Donald Trump delivered sharp criticism of Rep. Ilhan Omar during remarks following the State of the Union, accusing the Minnesota Democrat of disruptive behavior during his address.
“How about Omar screaming, screaming, screaming like a lunatic? You looked at her bulging eyes — she’s CRAZY! Get her the hell out of here!” Trump said during a public appearance, drawing loud reactions from supporters in attendance.
The comments quickly circulated online, sparking backlash from critics and praise from supporters, further intensifying the already tense political climate surrounding this year’s address.
Heated Political Environment
The State of the Union address was marked by visible partisan divisions, with several moments of protest, interruptions, and public displays of disagreement from lawmakers in attendance.
While some Democrats have accused Trump of using inflammatory rhetoric, his supporters argue he was responding to what they described as repeated disruptions and disrespectful conduct during the speech.
Rep. Omar has not yet publicly responded to Trump’s latest remarks. She has previously been a frequent target of Trump’s criticism, dating back to his first term in office.
