CNN host Wolf Blitzer pressed Rep. Ilhan Omar during an interview on Wednesday about whether she violated Democrat Party guidelines by yelling at President Donald Trump during his State of the Union address and if she had any regrets about the incident.
During the State of the Union, Omar shouted at the president about the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, who were killed by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis while interfering with immigration operations.

Blitzer referenced House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who had urged Democrats to either boycott the speech or protest silently.
“Should you have just boycotted the address? And do you think you violated the guidelines set out by your own leader?” Blitzer asked the Somali lawmaker.
Omar responded, “No, I think it was really unavoidable. The president talked about protecting Americans, and I just had to remind him that his administration was responsible for killing two of my constituents.”
Blitzer followed up by noting that Democrats had previously criticized Republicans for similar interruptions during President Joe Biden’s State of the Union addresses.
“Do you have any regrets at all about the interaction we played between you and President Trump just last night?” he asked, later adding whether she would do anything differently in hindsight, such as boycotting the event.
Omar stood firm, stating, “I do not [have regrets]. And I think many people look at that moment when the president says it is our responsibility to protect Americans, and he does not acknowledge the fact that two Americans, two of my constituents, two of our neighbors, were killed. And it was important for me to just remind the American people that the president and his administration was responsible for killing two American citizens.”
She also defended her decision to attend, saying, “I brought four Minnesotans as guests for the Minnesota delegation. It was important for us to be there to bear witness, to hold the space for our constituents that have lived through an occupation from federal law enforcement, that have been terrorized, that have seen our neighbors been killed and traumatized in so many ways. And so, no, I think it was really important for my constituents to see me there. It was really important for my constituents to hear that I was reminding the president that Renee Good and Alex Pretti were killed under this administration.”
