ALBAWABA - U.S. President Donald Trump delivered his annual address to a joint session of Congress, and according to the media, he made the longest-ever State of the Union speech (SOTU), with about 1 hour and 50 minutes.

During the speech, Trump spoke about his economic agenda, threatened Iran and attacked illegal migrants, including Somalis. When he spoke about Somali immigrants, the president was confronted by American Representative Ilhan Omar. 

In the speech, He said, "When it comes to the corruption that is plundering America, there has been no more stunning example than Minnesota—where members of the Somali community have pillaged an estimated $19 billion from the American taxpayer."

"The Somali pirates who ransack Minnesota remind us that there are large parts of the world where bribery, corruption and lawlessness are the norm, not the exception. Importing these cultures through unrestricted immigration and open borders brings those problems right here to the USA," Trump added.

In response, Omar yelled at the U.S. President during the State of the Union speech in Congress on Tuesday, "You have killed Americans".

In addition to the Democratic Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib also repeatedly shouted at Trump, objecting to his characterization of Minnesota's Somali community as "pirates" and accusing him of enabling the deaths of American citizens through his ICE agents.

Talib also lost it and started yelling at President Trump during his SOTU speech, by saying, "You're killing Americans."
