Democratic U.S. Rep. Yassamin Ansari of Arizona made headlines when she walked out of President Donald Trump’s speech to Congress, citing devastation over his rhetoric. Ansari, the House Democratic freshman class president, left the House floor after hearing what she described as dehumanizing comments towards immigrants, LGBTQ+ community, and lies about tax cuts. She also expressed disappointment over Trump’s proposal to ban gender-affirming surgery for minors.
Ansari, who brought DACA recipient Yadira Garcia as her guest to the speech, recorded a video expressing her dismay at the President’s speech. She highlighted the impact on her constituents in Arizona’s third district and wore a “Protect Trans Kids” pin on her lapel. In the video, she criticized Trump’s comments and urged for support for marginalized communities.
The incident has sparked discussions on social media and among political circles. Trump’s speech continues to receive mixed reactions, with some praising his stance on certain issues while others express concerns over divisive rhetoric. Ansari’s actions have drawn attention to the importance of standing up for marginalized groups in the political arena.
