Omar, Tlaib Refuse To Stand In Honor Of Last Surviving Tuskegee Airman, General McGee
Quote:Far-left Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) appeared to refuse to stand in honor of the last surviving Tuskegee Airmen on Tuesday night during President Donald Trump’s State of the Union Address.
During his speech, Trump said, “Sitting beside Iain tonight is his great hero. Charles McGee was born in Cleveland, Ohio, one century ago. Charles is one of the last surviving Tuskegee Airmen — the first black fighter pilots — and he also happens to be Iain’s great-grandfather. ”
“After more than 130 combat missions in World War II, he came back to a country still struggling for Civil Rights and went on to serve America in Korea and Vietnam,” Trump continued. “On December 7th, Charles celebrated his 100th birthday. A few weeks ago, I signed a bill promoting Charles McGee to Brigadier General. And earlier today, I pinned the stars on his shoulders in the Oval Office. General McGee: Our Nation salutes you.”
When everyone in the room rose to their feet to honor McGee, Omar and Tlaib appeared to sit.
Reporter Ben Jacobs first noticed Omar and Tlaib’s decision to not honor the American hero, writing on Twitter: “A small cluster of Democrats including Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar and Mark Pocan don’t stand for Charles McGee, the former Tuskegee Airman introduced by Trump.”

Bet those two dimwits have never even heard of the Tuskegee Airmen, or know what they did. They probably thought they served in Iraq.

The fact that they can do this and bristle at being called non-American blows my mind a little. It makes you wonder what they think we are, other than where the paychecks are high, the crime is low, and everyone but them is racist.
