The FBI director declined to directly comment on Trump’s Twitter jabs at 'The Squad,' which Dems say have incited threats from the president's supporters. “I don’t really engage on rhetoric or social media commentary, our focus is on violence,' Wray said
FBI Director Christopher Wray on Tuesday wouldn’t comment directly on President Donald Trump’s controversial tweets on four progressive minority congresswomen that caused an uproar among Democrats and Republicans.
Wray made his comments as Trump continued his attacks on four Democratic congresswomen who make up the “Squad” — Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts. Trump previously tweeted that they should “go back” to the “crime infested places” they came from.

Democrats had previously warned that Omar was in “imminent danger” after a crowd at a Trump rally last week directed heated rhetoric at Omar, chanting “send her back.”
