Ocasio-Cortez, Pressley, Omar and Tlaib are fundraising with a 'We are the Squad' T-shirt, for $25
The four progressive congresswomen told by Trump to “go back” to their countries — New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Massachusetts Rep. Ayanna Pressley, Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar and Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib — began fundraising this week off their oft-used nickname, “the Squad.”
The four women responded with a press conference Monday criticizing the president’s immigration policies and history of inflammatory remarks about minorities. The Democrat-led House voted almost wholly along partisan lines Tuesday to condemn Trump’s remarks as “racist.” The nickname gained new prominence this week as their spat with Trump took center stage, and the four have since used the term to draw like-minded people into their fold. “Our Squad is big,” Pressley said during their press conference.
