An unidentified woman was caught on tape yelling an obscenity at President Trump as he arrived at the U.S. Capitol for his Tuesday immigration meeting with the House Republican caucus.
As Trump’s team walked toward the office of Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., the woman can be heard yelling, “Mr. President, fuck you!” according to a video tweeted by NBC News’ Frank Thorp.

The president was on the Hill to discuss two immigration reform bills — one authored by Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., and the other by GOP leadership — that Ryan plans to soon bring to the floor for votes.
The meeting was announced on Saturday following a tumultuous day of comments from the president on immigration.
In an interview Friday morning, Trump insinuated that he would not support the more “moderate” bill authored by leadership, but the White House clarified later that evening that he would support both bills as long as they contain his four “pillars” of immigration: ending the diversity visa lottery, reducing chain migration, securing the border and finding a pathway to citizenship for the 1.8 million Dreamers living in the country.
The Trump administration is also currently under fire for separating migrant children from their parents while carrying out the administration’s zero-tolerance policy for illegal immigrants.
