Trump explodes at 'crazy' Democrats for 'destroying our country' and 'refusing' to protect Americans... as the Squad goes berserk and dozens storm out: Live updates

Donald Trump called on Democrats to stand up in support of protecting American citizens.

'Stand up if you agree with this statement: The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens - not illegal aliens,' he said.

Several Democrats, including Arizona Senator Mark Kelly, refused to stand.

Trump then told the Democrats they should be ashamed of themselves.

'You should be ashamed of yourself, not standing up,' he said.

The eyes of America - and much of the world - will be fixed on Donald Trump on Tuesday night as he strides to the Speaker’s rostrum to deliver his historic fifth State of the Union.

It comes at a moment of explosive global tension. The standoff with Iran is edging toward boiling point.

Cartel violence is tearing through Mexican tourist hotspots. And back home, the White House is sharpening its message with the high-stakes November midterms looming large.

Rep. Ilhan Omar claimed President Trump 'killed two of my constituents' on X on Tuesday night shortly after his State of the Union address to the nation.

'He is a liar and should be ashamed of himself,' she wrote.

Earlier in the evening, Omar and Rep. Rashida Tlaib yelled abuse at Trump's immigration enforcement, which was scaled back earlier this month after two protesters were killed by federal agents.

'You have killed Americans,' the Democratic pair screeched as the House descended into anarchy.

The President turned his fury on the women, branding them a 'disgrace' and telling the pair: 'You should be ashamed.'

Far-left 'Squad' members were close to tears as their heckles were drowned out by chants of U-S-A at Donald Trump's State of the Union address Tuesday.

Democratic representatives Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib were almost overcome with emotion as the President hammered 'Somali pirates who ransack Minnesota.'

The pair began screaming, calling Trump a 'liar' and claiming that he had American blood on his hands following the deadly immigration crackdown in the state.

But they were quickly drowned out by the President's Republican majority who took to their feet and started chanting: 'U-S-A, U-S-A.'

The Squad ready to CRY and have heckles drowned out by USA chants

Far-left members of the Squad looked close to tears as their heckles were drowned out by chants of USA during Donald Trump's State of the Union address on Tuesday.

Nancy Pelosi called Trump's handling of Iran 'inept.'

'President Obama masterfully, with great virtuosity, had a diplomatic solution to how we would have a nuclear agreement with Iran,' she said.

'[Trump] turned that around, rejected that, cast it aside, and now is using sort of military and the rest. It's so ridiculous. It's so inept. It's so below the quality of leadership that our country is used to 250 years.'

Nancy Pelosi appeared on CNN to declare that Trump's failure to mention Epstein during his speech shows he is vulnerable.

'The state of the nation is about our integrity as well. Freedom of the press, independence of the judiciary, rule of the law, all of that, separation of power. Forget it with him,' he said.

'And so the fact that he knows this is a vulnerability. And we've had lots of conversations with the survivors and with other people who have been survivors in the community. That's why the American people are so insistent that this thing has continued. But the fact that he didn't mention it shows his vulnerability, his exposure in all of this.'

Donald Trump did not mention Jeffrey Epstein or the Epstein files during his State of the Union speech.

Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said outburst from her Democratic colleagues at the State of the Union was 'hardly noticeable.'

'That was hardly noticeable in the room. It may have been more noticeable on TV. Hardly noticeable,' she told CNN.

Abigail Spanberger accused the Trump administration of 'unprecedented' corruption.

'He's enriching himself, his family, his friends. The scale of the corruption is unprecedented. There's the cover-up of the Epstein files, the crypto scams, cozying up to foreign princes for airplanes and billionaires for ballrooms, putting his name and face on buildings all over our nation's capital,' she said.

'This is not what our founders envisioned. Not by a long shot.'

Democrats respond to Donald Trump's State of the Union saying he isn't making Americans safer.

Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger repeatedly questioned during the Democratic rebuttal on Tuesday night: 'Is the president working to keep Americans safe, both at home and abroad?'

'We all know the answer is ‘no,' she insisted.

The rising Democrat star and former CIA agent slams Trump for giving immigrants agents authority to ‘terrorize our communities.’

And she accused the president of cozying up to foreign leaders.

Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger blasted Trump's immigration crackdown.

'Our president has sent poorly trained federal agents into our cities, where they have arrested and detained American citizens and people who aspire to be Americans,' she said.

'Every minute spent sowing fear is a minute not spent investigating murders, crimes against children, or the criminals defrauding seniors of their life savings.

'Our president told us tonight that we are safer because these agents arrest mothers and detain children. Think about that.'

She also mentioned the fatal shootings of two Americans in Minnesota by federal agents and the ICE detention of five-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos.

'They have sent children, a little boy in a blue bunny hat, children to far off detention centers,' she said.

'They have killed American citizens in our streets. They have done it all with their faces masked from accountability.'
