当地时间周三,美国总统特朗普在社交媒体发文,猛烈抨击两名在其国情咨文演讲中多次高声打断他的民主党议员,称她们是 “疯子”,“看起来就该被送进精神病院”。
周二晚间的国情咨文演讲中,特朗普多次攻击民主党人,其谈及移民严打政策的言论,引发密歇根州众议员拉希达・特莱布与明尼苏达州众议员伊尔汗・奥马尔的强烈抗议,两人反复高喊 “总统在杀害美国人”—— 这是在指责今年年初联邦执法人员枪杀明尼苏达州居民蕾妮・古德与亚历克斯・普雷蒂的事件。
这两起致命枪击案发生在特朗普政府 “都市突击行动” 期间,该行动派遣联邦特工前往明尼苏达州开展移民执法。本月早些时候,边境事务主管汤姆・霍曼宣布该行动已结束。
特朗普在社交媒体发文称:“看看智商低下的伊尔汗・奥马尔和拉希达・特莱布,昨晚在如此庄重、重要的国情咨文演讲上,她们歇斯底里地尖叫,双眼凸出、布满血丝,就像疯子、精神错乱的病人,坦白说,她们看起来就该被送进精神病院。” 他还补充道:“我们应该尽快把她们送回原籍 —— 越快越好。”
奥马尔幼年以难民身份从索马里逃到美国,12 岁起定居美国,已是美国公民;特莱布在底特律出生长大,父母是巴勒斯坦移民。
这是特朗普发表重要演讲后次日,首次就此事公开发声。多年来,奥马尔一直是特朗普言语攻击的目标,今年以来,他的攻击还伴随着对明尼苏达州索马里裔群体(全美最大索马里裔聚居地)的激烈言论升级。
演讲中,特朗普要求国会议员起立,以示支持 “美国政府的职责是保护美国公民,而非非法移民”,民主党人集体端坐不动。特朗普当场怒斥:“你们应该为自己感到羞耻。”
明尼苏达州民主党议员奥马尔随即反复高喊:“你们杀害了美国人。” 坐在她身旁的特莱布也全程不断高声抗议,在共和党人齐喊 “美国、美国” 时,她甚至反复做出 “三 K 党” 的口型。
周三上午,奥马尔接受美国有线电视新闻网采访时表示,对自己在演讲中发声抗议毫无悔意,尤其因为特朗普对古德和普雷蒂的遇害只字未提。“这实在无法回避。总统大谈保护美国人,我必须提醒他,他的政府要为杀害我的两名选民负责。”
演讲期间,特莱布还多次插话,她一度怒斥特朗普是 “史上最腐败的总统”。当特朗普称民主党人 “疯了” 时,佩戴着 “去他的移民海关执法局” 徽章的特莱布短暂起身,随后坐下,又从座位上高声质问:“爱泼斯坦的文件呢?”
奥马尔与特莱布未被要求离场,但她们是众多在特朗普演讲结束前提前退场的民主党议员之一。这场演讲时长 1 小时 48 分钟,创下美国国会联席会议史上最长演讲纪录。
演讲结束后,众议院议长迈克・约翰逊被问及奥马尔和特莱布是否会因行为受到处罚,他回应:“我们拭目以待。”
Trump says Omar, Tlaib 'look like they should be institutionalized' after shouting during State of the Union address
President Donald Trump is bashing two of the Democrats who repeatedly interrupted his State of the Union speech by shouting at him, calling them "LUNATICS" who "look like they should be institutionalized" in a social media post on Wednesday.
During his Tuesday evening address, Trump attacked Democrats several times, with his comments on his immigration crackdown eliciting jeers from Democratic Reps. Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar, who repeatedly said the president was "killing Americans" -- a reference tothe fatal shootings of Minnesota residentsRenee GoodandAlex Prettiby federal law enforcement earlier this year.
Their fatal shootings were amid the administration's “Operation Metro Surge,” which sent federal agents to Minnesota as part of its immigration enforcement.Border czar Tom Homan announced earlier this month that the effort was ending.
"When 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 institutionalized,”Trump said.
In his social media post, Trump also said "we should send them back from where they came -- as fast as possible."
Omar, who fled Somalia and came to the U.S. as a refugee when she was a child, has been living in the country since she was 12 years old and is a U.S. citizen. Tlaib was born and raised in Detroit; she is the daughter of Palestinian immigrant parents.
Trump's social media post about Omar and Tlaib mark his first comments the day after his major address.
Omar has been the target ofverbal attacks from Trump for years. Earlier this year, his attacks have come alongside escalated rhetoric describing the Somali community in Minnesota, the largest in the nation.
During Tuesday night's speech, Democrats remained seated when Trump asked members of the chamber to stand if they supported the idea that the American government was "to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens."
"You should be ashamed of yourselves," Trump said at the seated Democrats.
"You have killed Americans," Omar, a Democrat from Minnesota, repeatedly shouted as Trump continued talking.
Tlaib, who was seated next to Omar, also shouted at the president throughout his speech. She even appeared to repeatedly mouth “K-K-K” as Republicans chanted “U-S-A, U-S-A.”
Omar told CNN Wednesday morning that she had no regrets for calling out the president during the speech, especially since Trump did not mention the fatal shootings of Good and Pretti.
"It was really unavoidable. The president talked about protecting Americans, and I just had to remind him that his administration was responsible for killing two of my constituents," she said.
The speech was punctuated at times by other interjections, including from Tlaib, a Democrat of Michigan and outspoken critic of the president, who at one point in the speech called Trump "the most corrupt president."
After the president said that Democrats "are crazy," Tlaib, who was wearing a pin that said, "F*** ICE," stood briefly, then sat down again before again shouting at Trump from her seat.
"How's those Epstein files?" she shouted as the president spoke.
Neither Omar nor Tlaib were asked to leave the chamber, but they were among the many Democrats who left before Trump finished his speech, which lasted one hour and 48 minutes -- making it the longest speech before a joint session of Congress in history.
House Speaker Mike Johnson was asked after the speech if Omar or Talib would see any consequences for their actions.
"We'll find out," Johnson responded.
