The Only Time President Trump Really Got Booed During His Address to Congress

Source: Fortune

President Donald Trump was booed once during his first joint address to Congress, when he brought up a new immigration crime office.

As Trump warned of violence committed by undocumented immigrants, he said he would establish a new office to help the victims. "I have ordered the Department of Homeland Security to create an office to serve American victims," the President said Tuesday night. "The office is called VOICE: Victims Of Immigration Crime Engagement. We are providing a voice to those who have been ignored by our media, and silenced by special interests."

The comment drew audible boos from the audience. Trump brought multiple people as his guests to the joint address who had family members killed by undocumented immigrants, including Jamiel Shaw, who he often referenced on the campaign trail.

I heard boos a 2nd time as well. It was when he said something about cleaning up the corruption. Yeah, right you lying idiot.

and having no room at the table for justice our for the rights of being classified as a human beings on the reservation this hypocrite was writing a fascists letter to create more paranoia and an office to serve American victims.

Go f***ing figure, so maybe dip sh*t you should have started at Standing Rock with that ND governor and what he did to the Lakota.

But, nope you and your band of fascists want to create a place for people to make up "trumped" up claims on anyone that your hypocrites deemed as illegal. And to create a secret police force with a f***ing building at taxpayers expense to spread more terror.

Do I got that right?

I quit the so-called SOTU early on. pence and ryan smirking nearly induced me to hurl.

Find myself cussin' 😷 non-stop at the mention of 'his' name or hearing 'his' voice. 'he' elicits that reaction.

'he' and 'his' minions are spectacularly loathsome.

"O how long has it been thus far? Only just over a month?" 😩

I don't know how I could stand it without DU right now. Were the Bush* years as bad? Not even close! Every single day Trump does numerous things that send me right over the edge! I couldn't wait for his stupid campaign to be over so I could start watching the news again. Every time that offensive orange face showed up, I'd immediately change the channel. Has it really been only a month?? It seems like an eternity and I keep thinking this is just an awful dream and I'm going to wake up! Every day he manages to offend and anger even more people - half the world detests him by now. Something has to give - we just can't sustain this. Meanwhile, I've become reacquainted with "Murder, She Wrote," LOL, and just found a channel that shows "All in the Family!"

When Bush* won in 2004 I actually felt sick - for quite a long time. But it was nothing like this. This time I fear for the country, fear what could happen to so many Americans - and now Trump's alienating the rest of the world.

With these daily pernicious segments coming down the pike, a body should have others 'of one mind and accord' in their midst.

Man, does our household miss the Barack Obamas.

GW's irritating factor busted my chops, but Darth Cheney & Rummy, well, I'll leave it at that. Remember when NOLA was drowning and the then resident took photo ops playing air guitar and licking frosting off his fingers from McCain's birthday cake? MB that last pic I embellished, but that's what I envisioned.

Wots hoppent to meee? I've generally been a peacemaker and attempt to see some redeeming qualities in people. But this? No can do.

Good to be back. 😉 👍

...for what Trump supporters will do, that particular office is in the process of being dismantled by Reichsfuhrer Sessions! He does not personally believe that racists are really all that bad, and federal dollars should be used to construct camps, much like Treblinka or Sobibor!!!
