President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address broke records for its length. But that doesn’t mean the president used the extra time to explain the nuances of his policies. Instead, the speech devolved into a shouting match with Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar midway through the address.
Trump was attempting to reframe the disastrous ICE raids in Minnesota as a success. He said, “The Somali pirates who ransacked Minnesota remind us that there are large parts of the world where bribery, corruption and lawlessness are the norm, not the exception.” He continued, “Importing these cultures through unrestricted immigration and open borders brings those problems right here to the USA.”
