00:01Political noise inside the halls of Congress, and protest messages delivered directly to U.S. President Donald Trump during his
00:10State of the Union address.
00:14Representative Al Green raised a sign reading,
00:17Black people are not monkeys, in reference to a video shared by Trump-linked accounts showing former President Obama and
00:26his wife superimposed on monkey bodies.
00:30Sparking widespread outrage despite its deletion, Green was removed from the chamber because of the sign.
00:42In another moment, Representatives Ilhan Omar and Rashid Atlaib interrupted the speech, shouting at Trump,
00:50you are a liar and a killer, as he spoke about immigration.
00:58At the same time, Democratic lawmakers wore jackets reading, stand with survivors, release the files, a call to disclose the
01:08remaining Epstein files.
01:11All of this comes as Trump faces declining approval ratings, according to recent polls, amid economic pressures and growing criticism
01:21of his hardline immigration policies.
01:23The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.
