President Donald Trump may have finally met his match: The Squad. The famously foul-mouthed President on Sunday launched yet another Twitter tirade, saying that the four congresswomen, known as The Squad -- US Reps. Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib -- should "go back" to the countries they came from. All four are US citizens, and three were born in the United States (Omar is a refugee from Somalia who spent part of her life in a Kenyan refugee camp). But the women haven't backed down. Nor have they responded with platitudes or undeserved tact. Instead, they've...

Meet Bronx resident John Cummings, a Republican and former Harbor Unit cop-turned-high school civics teacher who is mounting a long-shot bid to topple Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez next year.“But to just come from the outside and take somebody on is really difficult,” Cummings told The Post in an exclusive interview.The one-time bartender Ocasio-Cortez inspired him to run — for her 14th congressional district seat.“It was pointed out to me by my students that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez pretty much made my excuse– and I’ll use their quotes– ‘a lame one,’” he said.So the 59-year-old Saint Raymond High School instructor plans to file paperwork with...

We will never be a Socialist or Communist Country. IF YOU ARE NOT HAPPY HERE, YOU CAN LEAVE!" the President said during a Twitter thread. "It is your choice, and your choice alone. This is about love for America. Certain people HATE our Country." "They are anti-Israel, pro Al-Qaeda, and comment on the 9/11 attack, “some people did something.” Radical Left Democrats want Open Borders, which means drugs, crime, human trafficking, and much more," he continued.

The Trump campaign has unveiled its 2020 campaign strategy of airing unedited footage of speeches and press conferences by far-left Democrats like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and that other one. GOP commercials will air the footage around the clock. The speeches will not be edited in any way. Rather than pushing their own policy proposals, Republicans will just remind the nation of just who it is they're running against. "We were pretty concerned when Trump was tweeting those racially charged things the other day," said one campaign strategist. "But now we're in the clear again. I mean, he'll...

Name calling is the last refuge for one losing an argument. Much like a roundhouse punch that hits nothing but air, it’s a final effort in a losing fight. But it’s also been the one reliable punch for Democrats, playing the race card against opponents. Not so much now, however. Shouting, “You’re a racist!” has been the preferred comeback for Democrats on the losing side of an argument. Alternatives to the word racist include Nazi, bigot, fascist, homophobe, sexist, and so on, but racist has the best quick jab-like sting. Sometimes name calling can fall flat, as in calling Supreme...

President Donald Trump and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) took Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), and Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) to the woodshed over their perceived (though probable) anti-Americanism and their left-wing agenda, the latter of which veers into extremism. Omar refuses to condemn terrorists, Tlaib wrote a post for Nation of Islam leader and rabid anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan’s blog, Pressley said those black and Hispanic lawmakers of color who side with House Speaker Pelosi are pretty much race traitors, and AOC has a green new deal that will all but wreck the economy. And we haven’t...

President Trump fired back Tuesday at the four freshman congresswomen who denounced his administration and renewed calls for his impeachment at a rare joint press conference, claiming Democrats have given them a "free pass" for their "vile" language and challenging colleagues to rebuke them. House Democrats, in fact, are planning to formally rebuke Trump for weekend tweets urging those same lawmakers to "go back" to where they came from -- though all but one of them was born in America. But the president, while refusing to back down from his statements, has sought to chastise Democrats for rallying to the...

Once again, President Trump has flaunted his scorn for the media-defined norms of the American political conversation. Under those informal rules, Republicans can be labeled racists with impunity and America can be trashed as irredeemably racist, evil, and shameful. But any criticism of “people of color” for expressing such views is racist, as Nancy Pelosi discovered so recently. Many Republicans have internalized these norms, knowing that their colleagues in professions dominated by an educated and credentialed workforce have scorn for Trump’s attacks on the four freshman congresswomen Nancy Pelosi ruefully dubbed “The Squad.” Their neighbors in upscale communities are equally...

When we racist, sexist homophobes use the word "catfight," we are merely observing — as you are not allowed to observe — that women fight each other differently from how men fight. It seems to us deplorables that women fight by calling each other names.  And so, in the catfight last week between Our Nance and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, it ended with Sandy O calling Our Nance a racist. Of course it did, because that is what Ocasio-Cortez has been carefully taught.  When you are caught in a jam, you play the race card.  What year did Ocasio-Cortez take Playing the Race Card...

Former Vice President Joe Biden on Tuesday praised Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and three other liberal first-term Democratic congresswomen who’ve tangled with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for “pushing the edges.” But in an interview with MSNBC, the front-runner in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination also argued that the four lawmakers don’t represent “the majority of Democrats” who won back the House of Representatives last year. Biden complimented Pelosi for “doing a masterful job” in dealing with the four lawmakers, who in recent weeks battled with the House speaker and other Democrats over their support for a bipartisan $4.6 billion...

The Broad Squad took to the podium yesterday to call President Trump a white nationalist, demand his impeachment, denounce the holding of illegal aliens at our border (presumably because President Trump is a white nationalist), demand the children be let “out of their cages,” and - did I mention - President Trump’s impeachment? Otherwise they seemed to be there simply to display their individual and collective awesomeness. Presumptuously speaking for the United States of America the 4 women of color (although only 2 of them technically are), 2 Muslims (one head-wrapped, 1 not), 1 social media star from Westchester by...

Full title: 'It is time for us to impeach this president': Omar, AOC and radical 'squad' fire back after Trump tells them to leave America if they don't like it – but he's thrilled the Democratic Party is 'embracing them' Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her 'squad' fired back at Donald Trump on Monday, calling on House Democratic leadership to being impeachment proceedings against the president. 'We can either continue to enable this president and report on the bile of garbage that comes out of his mouth. Or we can hold him accountable for his crimes. It is time for us to...

No-brainer. “This morning, the President doubled down on his attacks on our four colleagues suggesting they apologize to him,” Pelosi wrote to House Democrats. “Let me be clear, our caucus will continue to forcefully respond to these disgusting attacks.”Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) and freshman Rep. Tom Malinowksi (D-N.J.), who was born in Poland, will draft the resolution, according to Pelosi. It’s unclear when the House will vote on the measure and the speaker did not specify in her letter…“The House cannot allow the president’s characterization of immigrants to our country to stand. Our Republican colleagues must join us in...

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy says President Donald Trump is not a racist. But he also says four Democratic congresswomen of color whom Trump said should return to their native countries should not have to leave the U.S. The California Republican told reporters on Monday: “This is their country.” Three of the four congresswomen were born in the U.S., and all are Americans.

President Trump tweeted. The tweets are being called racist because Trump told critics of the United States to go back to their country. Now those critics are holding a press conference to respond. Trump’s comment sounds bad, if you leave the rest of it out. He actually said, “Go back to your countries, fix the problems there — and then come back, and show us how you did it!” How many racists say “leave,” and then say, “please come back and help us?” Probably zero. But Trump messes with the media's reading comprehension, so they only digest half. See, Trump’s...

RUSH: Grab sound bites number 4 and 5. I want to share this with you. I mentioned earlier in the program, there was a hearing at the House Oversight and Reform Committee on child separation policy at the U.S.-Mexico border on Friday, and one of the witnesses was the former acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director, Thomas Homan, who is the epitome of a patriot. This guy has been defending ICE ever since people like Cortez and her Squad began to defame it. He’s a fixture on Fox News. And he pulls no punches. He loves this country. He very...

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) on Monday declined to answer questions about whether he felt President Trump's tweet attacking four Democratic congresswomen was racist. In a video tweeted by NBC News reporter Alison King, the Utah senator is asked if he would call Trump's tweet—which suggested the four lawmakers "go back" to their home countries—racist. "That's all I got, thanks," Romney said, before walking off. The Hill has reached out to Romney's office for comment. Romney told King that Trump "fell far short" in his calling to unite Americans. "I certainly feel a number of these new members of Congress have...

On Monday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends,” Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) reacted to President Trump’s tweets about Democratic congresswomen by telling the president, “aim higher. We don’t need to know anything about them personally. Talk about their policies.” Graham said, “We all know that AOC and this crowd are a bunch of communists. They hate Israel. They hate our own country. They’re calling the guards along our border, the Border Patrol agents, concentration camp guards. They accuse people who support Israel of doing it for the Benjamins. They’re antisemitic. They’re anti-America. Don’t get down — aim...

to Trump's Comments Rep. Ilhan Omar, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rep. Ayanna Pressley, and Rep. Rashida Tlaib hold a press conference following recent attacks from the President Trump.

Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) said Monday that he plans to force a vote on impeachment this month following President Trump’s inflammatory tweets telling a group of progressive Democratic congresswomen to "go back" to where they came from. Green — who first unsuccessfully forced a vote on impeachment in 2017, with just 58 Democrats supporting the effort on the floor — said he feels he needs to take action due to the president’s recent rhetoric. "I will again, this month, bring impeachment to a vote on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives for bigotry in policy, harmful to our...
