The 360 | Fallout from Trump's attacks on 'the Squad'
Speed readWhat's happening: On Sunday, President Trump posted tweets saying that four Democratic congresswomen, all people of color, should"go back" to the"places from which they came." The comments were condemned as racist by the women who were targeted, other Democrats, members of the media and even some Republicans.
Trump defended himself, saying,"Those Tweets were NOT Racist." Other members of the administration have made similar arguments. There is also debate about the political ramifications of the president’s comments. Some say Democrats are playing into his hands by allowing the public conversation to be centered on race, given Trump's successful mining of racial grievance during the 2016 election. Others, however, believe the tweets will further alienate voters outside Trump's base who may be uncomfortable with his increasingly overt racial signaling.
