‘I don’t think the president’s intent in any way is racist’: Pence’s Chief of Staff Marc Short defends Trump's tweets about four U.S. congresswomen. More:
WASHINGTON - U.S. President Donald Trump escalated his attacks against four first-year Democratic congresswomen on Monday after earlier telling them to “go back” to the “places from which they came” in a series of weekend tweets that Democrats and other critics called racist.
“Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came,” he tweeted. “Then come back and show us how ... it is done.” On Monday, Trump renewed his attack, calling on the congresswomen to apologize to him, the United States and Israel for “the terrible things they have said,” a reference to past controversial comments the congresswomen have made.
Pelosi and other Democrats came to the women’s defense Sunday, saying Trump was exacerbating white nationalism and sideling racial minorities with “xenophobic” rhetoric.
