Trump In New Attack On Congresswomen Of Color: They Are Not 'Capable Of Loving Our Country'
  • 5 years ago
President Trump again slammed Democratic congresswomen of color.

President Trump on Sunday resumed his attacks on the four Democratic congresswomen of color known as "The Squad." 
 "I don't believe the four Congresswomen are capable of loving our Country," he tweeted. "They should apologize to America (and Israel) for the horrible (hateful) things they have said. They are destroying the Democrat Party, but are weak & insecure people who can never destroy our great Nation!" 
The president's slam caps a week of controversy that erupted when he tweeted about the female lawmakers: "Why don't they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came." 
Many called the remark "racist," and it seemed that Trump tried to distance himself from the issue, particularly after a crowd chanted "send her back" about "Squad" member Somali-born Representative Ilhan Omar at a recent Trump rally.  
However, the president seemed to reverse course and blast the women Friday.
"You can't talk that way about our country, not when I'm the President," Trump said.
