Southern California Congresswoman Norma Torres was largely unmoved by President Donald Trump's State of the Union address on Tuesday.

"There was no real content," said Torres, who represents California's 35th District. "I think the president said a lot of things, but there was no pathway to unifying the nation."

Representative Torres, who was born in Guatemala, and whose district is heavily represented by Latinos, was also put off by what she saw as the president's continuing vilification of immigrants.

"Once again, President Trump has pooled immigrants with MS13 gang members," said Torres.

"As much as we have shown that the face of an immigrant, as members of Congress, as doctors, as engineers, and people in the community that have truly advanced themselves and are a part of living the American dream. He fails to see that."

Torres also felt the president's calls for bipartisanship rang hollow.

"I don't believe that he was genuine when he talked about bipartisanship," said the Representative. "Because if he was genuine about it, I think that he would have given us a plan on how he intended to work with Democrats and how he intends to work with both the Senate and the House knowing how diverse we are with our own opinions."

One aspect of the president's speech that did impress the Congresswoman was when he acknowledged the unprecedented numbers of, mostly Democratic, female members elected to Congress last year.

"I don't know if it was the fact that the Democratic women were dressed in white that brought his attention to that," said Representative Torres. "But I was very excited to see someone of his generation, of his opinions, and how he referred to women that are vocal against his policies as nasty women, but he acknowledged that we could serve in these powerful positions."
