As President Trump continued his attack against four Democratic congresswomen of color, the self-proclaimed “squad” responded in a joint interview that aired on “CBS This Morning” on Wednesday, saying that they will not be distracted by him.
“This is a person that really wants to vilify, demonize not only immigrants, but even communities of color as many of my sisters here have been talking about,” Tlaib said. “It is very much a distraction, getting us unfocused.”The congresswomen did not refer to Trump by name. “This is a distraction,” she added. “This is a disruption on our leading and legislating and governing on the issues of care and concern and consequence of the American people.”
“The entire freshman class I would argue, regardless of ideology, was sent here because Americans are sick of how Washington works,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “So why would I learn a broken playbook?”
