Omar and Tlaib: The un-American representatives for Somalia and the Palestinians
Their behavior during the State of the Union gives the House good cause to expel them. (Actually, the House could expel all the Dems for the same reason...)

President Donald Trump hit it out of the park with last night’s State of the Union (“SOTU”) address. First, it was not boring. Yes, it lasted almost two hours, making it the longest SOTU speech in American history by a wide margin. (It was 20 minutes longer than second-place Bill Clinton, in 2000.) But here’s the second, important thing: it was a damn good speech, equal parts powerful, patriotic, informative, and very funny. Trump is a showman, and the SOTU was a great show.
The other reason the speech was a winner was the audience participation. Or to be more specific, the Democrat audience participation. Some of it was passive. Almost all the Democrats in attendance (and many were not there) remained glued to their seats as Donald Trump recounted good news about the economy, lower crime, border security, lowered drug prices, world peace, and more. (The White House compiled a comprehensive list here.)
They refused to acknowledge Iryna Zarutska’s weeping mother. At least half of them wouldn’t even stand to acknowledge America’s men’s hockey team. Nor would they stand for U.S. Army Chief Warrant Officer Eric Slover, who received the Medal of Honor for extraordinary courage in the face of horrific injuries received during the raid to capture Maduro.
Over the course of the speech, it became riveting to track whether the Democrats would stand for good news for the American people. It was a given that they wouldn’t stand for the victim of their destructive gender policies, but not standing for Iryna’s mom? That was cold.
