Trump's attack against four progressive Congresswomen was an act of racism, white nationalism -- and

narcissism.

Less than a day before the President of the United States told her to go back to Africa, Rep. Ilhan Omar declared that she likely loved America more than most everyone in the room. The Minnesota Congresswoman told the audience at the progressive conference Netroots Nation in Philadelphia that she gets called “anti-American because I criticize the United States,” but that “as an immigrant, I probably love this country more than anyone that is naturally born.”

You don’t need to love America to stay here, but Omar’s remark does raise some fascinating questions in light of the fact that President Trump, again, took to Twitter on Sunday to tell her and three of her colleagues — Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY), Ayanna Pressley (MA), and Rashida Tlaib (MI) — to leave the United States because they disagree with how he runs the country. Trump would surely love to run against these four women in 2020 rather than an actual opponent, positioning them all as racial bogeymen. It’s a royal flush for his racist campaign: two black women, including one who wears a hijab and is a Somali refugee; a boricua from the Bronx; and a first-generation Palestinian-American from Detroit.

Despite his Monday morning tweets complaining about the characterization of his tweets as “RACIST,” the truth is that Trump reached into the Genesis chapter of the bigot’s bible when he essentially told two Congresswomen to go back to Africa, and told the other two to also “go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came,” invalidating the citizenship of all four women on a whim. It was a white nationalist insult from a white nationalist.

It is clear, from her Saturday quote and the collective response that the four women offered on Monday that Omar isn’t going anywhere. “He’s launching a blatantly racist attack on four duly elected members of the United States House of Representatives, all of whom are women of color,” Omar said in a joint presser the Congresswomen held hours after the president launched his verbal screed, lobbing lies so egregious that they shouldn’t be dignified by repetition here. She added, “This is the agenda of white nationalists, whether it is happening in chat rooms, or it is happening on national TV, and now it’s reached the White House garden.”
