Pirate's Cove

I’ll admit, Trump spoke for way, way too long. But, hey, if the Dems that showed up, with many saying they wouldn’t, wanted to sit there like bumps on a log and fail to cheer for the success of Americans and America, let them have the Gen Z Stare. But, when it came to illegal immigration, nope, they had to freak.

‘You have killed Americans’: Ilhan Omar tries to shout down Trump’s immigration attacks

For the first hour of President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address Tuesday, Democrats in the House chamber largely stuck to their plan: Sit in stony, defiant silence.

But once Trump began to level attacks on immigrants, that strategy went out the window.

Democratic Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib repeatedly yelled at Trump, objecting to his characterization of Minnesota’s Somali community as “pirates” and accusing him of enabling the deaths of US citizens through his hardline immigration crackdown in the state.

The back-and-forth crested after Trump told Democrats in the chamber they “should be ashamed” for refusing to stand and applaud in response to his declaration that the government’s primary duty is “to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.”

Why would that be controversial? That is the job of the federal government. Heck, state, county, and local governments should be protecting their citizens from illegals.

But as the president leaned into his more divisive policies, including his immigration crackdown that led to the fatal shootings of two US citizens in Minnesota, the protestations on the Democratic side of the aisle began to grow more audible.

Trump credited his immigration policies with sealing the southern border and rapidly deporting undocumented immigrants on multiple occasions, without mentioning the killings by federal immigration agents of protesters Renee Good and Alex Pretti last month.

The president raised Omar’s ire in particular when he singled out Minnesota as a “stunning example” of the fraud that he’s alleged with little evidence is running rampant in blue states, blaming the state’s Somali community.

Little evidence? Somalis were arrested, tried, and sentenced for fraud. We all saw the fake “learing” centers and more. Whistleblowers said it was happening.

Anyhow, Dems failed to do anything but sit stone faced with mentions of America’s 250th birthday, drop in murder rate, drop in deaths from fentanyl, gas prices down, the wins for the men’s and women’s hockey teams at the Olympics, the upcoming Olympics in LA, honoring World War II veteran Buddy Taggart, awarding the Legion of Merit to Coast Guard rescue swimmer Scott Ruskin, and more. Only illegals and 3rd World Islamists from Somalia in Minnesota got a response. Most did sit there like expressionless.

They’re trash, and the people they represent are trash. Also notice how many remained seated. After Trump’s speech they had Abigail Spanberger give the response
