Representative Rashida Tlaib faced strong criticism after chanting “KKK” during President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address.
The protest occurred inside the House chamber as the president delivered his remarks before a joint session of Congress.
Her actions were condemned by Republican lawmakers, who described the chant as inappropriate during the nationally televised event.
Tlaib did not immediately issue a formal apology, and the incident intensified the already tense atmosphere surrounding the address.
The moment became one of several protests and disruptions that highlighted the deep political divisions on display during the speech.
