The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) accused Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) of chanting, “KKK” (Ku Klux Klan) while Republicans chanted “USA!” during President Trump’s State of the Union address to a joint session of Congress Tuesday night. About seventy Democrats boycotted Trump’s speech, but Tlaib was not one of them.
The NRCC posted a video clip of Tlaib looking at seatmate Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) while she appeared to chant, “KKK”:
“Republicans: “USA.” Rashida Tlaib: “KKK.” Everything you need to know about today’s Democrats. They cannot stand this country, they cannot stand its comeback, & they cannot hide their contempt anymore.”

Tlaib’s outburst was first flagged by reporter Matthew Foldi, who asked, “Is Rashida Tlaib chanting “KKK” while everyone else chants “USA”? Sure looks like it,”

Ambassador Ric Grenell posted a video clip showing Tlaib was wearing a large “F*** ICE” button during the speech, “@IlhanMN and @RashidaTlaib have massive meltdown over Donald Trump saying he is prioritizing Americans over illegals. Notice the button that Tlaib is wearing. Dear Lord!”
