Multiple Democrats walked out before President Donald Trump finished his State of the Union address on Tuesday night. Reps. Rashida Tlaib (Mich.), Bill Pascrell (N.J.), Tim Ryan (Ohio) and Jackie Speier (Calif.) left the room before Trump’s hour-plus speech concluded.

“I walked out of that speech,” Tlaib tweeted after Trump’s address ended. “The lies, the bigotry, and the shameless bragging about taking away food stamps that people depend on to live ― it was all beneath the dignity of the office he occupies. Shame on this forever impeached president.”

Pascrell called Trump a liar, tweeting that his presidency is “a national tragedy.” Ryan tweeted that he walked out of the State of the Union speech because “it’s like watching professional wrestling. It’s all fake.”
