President Trump said four congresswomen of color should go back to the 'broken and crime infested' countries they came from. His attack drew a searing condemnation from Democrats who labeled the remarks racist and breathtakingly divisive.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, left, and Rep. Ilhan Omar attend a press conference calling on congress to cut funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Feb. 11.
But Trump didn't make that distinction in his Monday tweets. He cited"Congresswomen" — an almost-certain reference to a group of women known as"the squad" that includes Omar, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Trump wants to"make America white again." Ocasio-Cortez, after jousting for days with Pelosi, said Trump"can't conceive of an America that includes us."
"Why don't they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how it is done." "Let's be clear about what this vile comment is: A racist and xenophobic attack on Democratic congresswomen," tweeted Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a Democratic presidential candidate.
