Assistant Speaker Ben Ray Lujan (D-N.M.) on Sunday blasted what he called a "racist tweet" from President Trump in which the president called on progressive Democratic congresswomen to return to the “broken and crime infested places from which they came.”

"That is a racist tweet. Telling people to go back where they came from? I think that's wrong,” Lujan, the highest-ranking Latino in the House, told host Chris Wallace on "Fox News Sunday."

“These are American citizens elected by voters in the United States of America,” he added.

Lujan said Trump’s focus should be on issues like immigration and drug prices, not “picking these fights” and “saying such racist things.”
