While President Donald Trump delivered his third State of the Union address, Democratic lawmakers mostly sat in quiet disapproval.
Some lawmakers, however, said they “had enough” and walked out of the House chamber in protest. Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio) suggested that the speech contained falsehoods, “It’s all fake.”
“I just walked out of the I can’t stand a liar. This man’s presidency is a national tragedy,” Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-N.J.) wrote on Twitter.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), who also walked out, said the speech was a display of “lies, bigotry, and shameless bragging about taking away food stamps.”
In an interview on MSNBC after the speech, Tlaib said Trump’s reference to Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh was the final straw that led her to walk out.
