Leave the US, Trump tells liberal Democratic congresswomen

[left-of-center2012]

President Donald Trump on Sunday assailed a group of Democratic congresswomen of color as foreign-born troublemakers who should go back to the “broken and crime infested places from which they came,” ignoring the fact that the women are American citizens and all but one was born in the U.S.

Trump was almost certainly referring to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and her allies in what’s become known as the squad. The others are Reps. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan. Only Omar, from Somalia, is foreign-born.

Ocasio-Cortez, who is of Puerto Rican descent, was born in the Bronx, New York, and raised in suburban Westchester County.
Pressley, the first black woman elected to the House from Massachusetts, was born in Cincinnati.
Rashida Tlaib was born in Detroit.
Ilhan Omar immigrated to the United States at age 12 and eventually settling with her family in Minneapolis.

Trump’s tweets drew a sharp rebuke from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who said the president wants to “make America white again.” Republican Rep. Justin Amash of Michigan, a Trump critic who recently took steps to leave his party, called the remarks “racist and disgusting.”

1. Gawd he is a dumb ass.

10. Nope

He's sucking the oxygen out of the room for Democratic presidential candidates who need to get their messages out at this crucial time.

Did you hear about Sen. Klobuchar's proposal for elderly Americans? Maybe you did, but a lot of people out there didn't because Trump was hogging the airwaves with whatever BS he was spewing out next. This is how he defeated well over a dozen GOP'ers any one of which was more qualified to be president than Trump was.

It worked before, he's doing it again, and the MSM needs to avoid giving him any attention for acting out. ty Should people be aware of his stupidity? Sure, but anyone who's not aware of it now never will be.

11. Agree 100%

And, not quarreling. He's still a huge dumb ass. He is dangerous for a myriad of reasons. He is corrupt and is actively breeding corruption. But, the MSM is not doing their job. They haven't for a long time and they aren't going to start today, unfortunately.

2. I'm sure the death threats will increase against these Dem women.

I hope that bastard rots in hell.

3. He can leave the country- Most of America will be glad again!!

I guess this is more performance art for his base. Another tweet that he expects to go ZING!

Well, once again he showed what a dumbass he is and not politically savvy- He should have expected that would cause Democrats to rally together.

4. Been wondering when he was going to say this. Typical RW whacko retort: lay claim to the country

and tell those who object to get the hell out if they don't like it. So frigging obnoxious, just like everything else about him/them.

5. It's actually REPUBLICONS who are not ASSIMILATING. nt

6. How about you leave instead, shitler? Take your nazi buddies and foreign family with you.

Go to Uncle Vlad's paradise, or North Korea, or the Phillipines, or Saudi Arabia. Nazi turd.

7. Not to mention that AOC was born in NYC - She has Puerto Rican Heritage

Puerto Rico is a territory of the United States - you dumb mother fucker.
Of which you are the President.

8. That's in the original opening post

"Ocasio-Cortez, who is of Puerto Rican descent, was born in the Bronx, New York"

[tulipsandroses]

9. My point is - it seems he has to be reminded that Puerto Ricans are Americans

And that he is the President of Puerto Rico -
