Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., and Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass.
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, a 2020 hopeful, lambasted the president for"stoking the most despicable and disturbing currents in our society."Former Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke, also a 2020 Democratic presidential candidate,,"These chants don’t happen by accident. They are the product of a president who sees our diversity not as a strength, but as a weakness."
“The Squad, as they call themselves, are now the leaders of the Democrat Party," Tim Murtaugh, the campaign's communications director, said."Americans don’t like it when elected officials consistently disparage this country. All the Democrats are pushing socialist ideas that are terrible for America. They are all the same.”
