President Trump sought on Monday to deflect criticism that tweets he wrote over the weekend about four Democratic congresswomen of color were racist by asserting that the women “hate our country.”
When asked if he was concerned that many people saw that tweet as racist and that white nationalist groups were finding common cause with the statement, Trump said Monday he wasn’t because “many people agree with me.” But Trump’s success as a politician has been predicated on the idea that the best defense is a strong offense, and on Monday he called on the Democratic congresswomen to apologize to him.
Trump then referenced Ocasio-Cortez’s criticisms of a deal online retailer Amazon made with New York.
