Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Ilhan Omar (D-MN) made what Glenn Beck described on his radio show, The Blaze, as a “dramatic exit” during President Donald Trump’s State of the Union on Tuesday night.
Tlaib tweeted on Tuesday night, “I walked out of that speech … it was all beneath the dignity of the office … Shame on this forever impeached president.” She later told Rachel Maddow on MSNBC she “couldn’t stand still and not do anything about it.”
But Beck who sitting in the chamber during the speech had a different take on Tlaib and Omar’s actions. “You know those pretty girls that always thought they were too cool for school during assemblies? … That’s exactly what Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar were doing during Tuesday’s State of the Union address.”
Political reporter Ben Jacobs called Talib’s hand on her narrative tweeting, “A small cluster of Democrats including Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar and Mark Pocan don’t stand for Charles McGee, the former Tuskegee Airman introduced by Trump.”
Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, tweeted the two, “Refused to stand and clap for a 100-year-old Tuskegee Airmen, Charles McGee, a true American hero … These women should be ashamed of themselves.”
