Video – Camera Captures Stunning Moment When Rashida Tlaib Appears to Chant ‘KKK’ Instead of ‘USA’ During State of the Union
An opinion-driven recap of the State of the Union depicts Democratic lawmakers Rashida tlaib and Ilhan Omar as highly disruptive during the address, and argues that their behavior contrasted with a more restrained Republican response. The piece describes Omar shouting insults at President Trump over comments about Somali welfare fraud, and recounts a moment when Tlaib appeared to chant “KKK” on TV, with some social posts suggesting she might have said “Canada” instead. It also highlights other partisan stunts,such as Rep. Al Green displaying a banner, and portrays Trump as visibly frustrated by the chaos. The article frames Democratic actions as supportive of the KKK era, contrasts them with Republicans, and ends with patriotic remarks about American history, including abolition of slavery, urging readers to reject what it calls woke, chaotic politics.
In the race to the bottom when it came to abhorrent Democratic behavior at Tuesday night’s State of the Union address, is it any wonder that Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib managed to win?
Granted, it was close. Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, who screamed at President Donald Trump during several points in the speech, appeared to call him “a liar and a sick f***” at one point when the president was talking about Somali immigrant welfare fraud in Omar’s home state.
“You should be ashamed,” she screamed at one point. Needless to say, this didn’t look great on TV:
Ilhan Omar is a disgrace to Minnesota.

However, it was Tlaib, seated next to Omar and ever ready to ride with a fellow member of the “squad,” who had the most negatively iconic moment of the night.
As most of the audience chanted “USA, USA!” — at least the Republican side, that is — she appeared to chant “KKK, KKK!”
Is Rashida Tlaib chanting “KKK” while everyone else chants “USA”? Sure looks like it pic.twitter.com/5nnp0or3Xn

Others seemed to think she was chanting “Canada, Canada” while the camera panned upon her.

First, let’s note that “Ca-na-da” is hardly any better, as she’s supposed to represent Michigan, not Saskatchewan. And second, it’s worth noting that you have to touch your tongue to the roof of your mouth to pronounce the name of our neighbor to the north (No. 2 in Olympic hockey!), which Tlaib didn’t do.
Shock SOTU Moment: Tlaib appears to chant ‘KKK’ Instead of ‘USA’ during a patriotic moment.
Some have said she was chanting ‘Canada,’ but that’s impossible without touching the tongue to the roof of the mouth, which she didn’t do.

So, at best, she was screaming “Ca~aa~aaa! Ca~aa~aa!”
And let’s note that “KKK, KKK!” fit in more with the leitmotif of the left for the night. First, we had this moment from Texas Democratic Rep. Al Green:

That’s right, resurrecting the “Trump is racist to the Obamas” canard. It only went downhill from there.
In fact, it was so bad that Trump was visibly annoyed at the insanity:
Trump points at Democrats and says, “these people are crazy. I’m telling you. They’re crazy.” (Note that Pete Hegseth and the rest of the cabinet are standing and cheering.) pic.twitter.com/KKMtzO3idK

“These people are crazy,” Trump said. “I’m telling you, they’re crazy.”
And that’s what it is: Absolute craziness. The United States of America is the country that killed at least 600,000 of its own fighting to abolish slavery.
The Democrats, meanwhile, were the party that most recently gave succor to the KKK. But a Republican president is equivalent to the Klan?
Give me — and America, and Canada, for that matter — a break.
