Although President Trump did not mention any lawmakers by name, it was widely assumed his tweets were referring to Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley and Rashida Tlaib. All four are American citizens.
William CummingsThe four progressive freshman congresswomen who have come to be known as"the Squad' reacted on Sunday to President Donald Trump seemingly suggesting they"go back" to the countries they"originally came from" instead of telling Americans"how our government is to be run."
"So interesting to see 'Progressive' Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world , now loudly and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run," Trump tweeted.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib fire back at Nancy Pelosi's 'Twitter world' quip Omar has sparked anger with her rhetoric criticizing the Trump administration and U.S. foreign policy since taking office. And she caused an uproar with her criticism of Israel and the influence of the pro-Israeli lobby, which many said played into anti-Semitic tropes.
Omar said it is because she is"ashamed" that the U.S. continues to"live in its hypocrisy" that she criticizes the government and fights to make the U.S. live up to its ideals.Ilhan Omar calls Tucker Carlson 'racist fool' after he says she proves 'immigration has become dangerous'Ocasio-Cortez told Trump"the country I 'come from'" and"the country we all swear to, is the United States.
"And we’re not going anywhere. Except back to DC to fight for the families you marginalize and vilify everyday."
