Rep. Rashida Tlaib said she clutched Rep. Ilhan Omar’s hand during President Trump’s State of the Union address during “triggering” moments before they got too upset and walked out of the speech. But Tlaib, D-Mich., said she couldn’t take it anymore when Trump conducted an impromptu Medal of Freedom ceremony for conservative radio icon Rush Limbaugh. "We ended up leaving, especially when they just went full out applause when they put that medal around Rush,” Tlaib said. Omar and Tlaib discussed their decision to attend Trump’s raucous State of the Union address – which ended with the GOP chanting “Four more years!”And the other half of the squad explained their decision to boycott. The State of Union ended Tuesday in dramatic fashion when Speaker Nancy Pelosi tore up the speech.
