WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Sunday assailed a group of Democratic congresswomen of color as foreign-born troublemakers who should go back to the “broken and crime infested places from which they came,” ignoring the fact that the women are American citizens and all but one was born in the U.S. Trump’s tweets prompted a wave of searing condemnation from Democrats, who set aside their rifts to speak as one in calling Trump’s remarks racist and breathtakingly divisive.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the president wants to “make America white again.” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, jousting for days with Pelosi, said Trump “can’t conceive of an America that includes us.”
Trump was almost certainly referring to Ocasio-Cortez and her allies in what’s become known as “the squad.” The others are Reps. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan. Only Omar, from Somalia, is foreign-born.

Omitting the fact that ...
ANY AMERICAN CITIZEN CAN FREELY RENOUNCE THEIR CITIZENSHIP
People who advocate turning the USA into a third world country SHOULD BE asked to leave.
Trump’s timing is impeccable. Right at the moment when the DNC establishment would otherwise be turning it’s attention to disciplining the “squad”, Trump FORCES them to have to do just the opposite.
ABSOLUTE BRILLIANCE!!!
He said to go back to their cities and counties; as usual the MSMLSD has it wrong again.
Yep, and yet another biased article.
Hi I just saw this headline, so Trump is following Solomon’s Proverb advice or?
Yes the headline is extremely biased and misleading
He said essentially that instead of working on the destruction of America that they should go back to their courtiers of origin and fix the problems there.
“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 (if they even have a functioning government at all), 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 wrote.
“Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how……..it is done. These places need your help badly, you can’t leave fast enough. I’m sure that Nancy Pelosi would be very happy to quickly work out free travel arrangements!” Trump wrote.

Freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) on Saturday questioned the patriotism of American-born citizens, claiming she “probably love[s] this country more than anyone who is naturally born” in the United States.
Omar participated in a foreign policy panel at the liberal Netroots Nation conference in Philadelphia when she made her comment. Omar began her remarks by making light of her past anti-Semitic comments and the backlash that has resulted from them.
“Something that I get criticized for all the time. It’s not what you think, so don’t gasp,” Omar said, prompting laughter from the panel and audience.
“It is that I am anti-American because I criticize the United States,” Omar said. “I believe, as an immigrant, I probably love this country more than anyone that is naturally born and because I am ashamed of it continuing to live in its hypocrisy.”
Trump stated:
Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how....
....it is done.
Negroes, blacks, soul brothers/sisters, afro Americans, and now "persons of color"........It's getting really hard to keep up........
What's next? "Imported non indigenous descendants of...........ah, screw it.
Big whoop
They all hang together
They all espouse stupid or profane views
One even help cost a neighboring CD
jobs and tax revenues, bigly
And you clutch pearls over a tweet
All Democrats need to GTFO and go back to their sh*tholes of origin.
And like I’ve said before: All post-1965 Immigration Act arrivals need to be scrutinized heavily.
AOC unloads on Trump after he tells progressive congresswomen to ‘go back’ to home countries
New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, fresh from a bitter public spat with top House Democrats, unloaded on President Trump Sunday afternoon after he suggested that unnamed progressive congresswomen “go back” to their own “corrupt” and “crime infested” countries of origin, then “come back and show us how it is done.”
“You can’t leave fast enough,” Trump had written.
Ocasio-Cortez’s fiery Twitter return barrage could be the call to action that unifies a party currently divided along establishment and progressive lines, observers said, even as some analysts blamed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for laying the groundwork for Trump’s remarks.
“Mr. President, the country I ‘come from,’ & the country we all swear to, is the United States,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote. “But given how you’ve destroyed our border with inhumane camps, all at a benefit to you & the corps who profit off them, you are absolutely right about the corruption laid at your feet.”
Ocasio-Cortez continued: “You are angry because you don’t believe in an America where I represent New York 14, where the good people of Minnesota elected @IlhanMN, where @RashidaTlaib fights for Michigan families, where @AyannaPressley champions little girls in Boston. You are angry because you can’t conceive of an America that includes us. You rely on a frightened America for your plunder. You won’t accept a nation that sees healthcare as a right or education as a #1 priority, especially where we’re the ones fighting for it. Yet here we are.”
Puerto Rico - and that’s a sh*thole.
This headline from the AP is an example of BS where you take a few words out of context and make it sound like something else.
She is still anti-American. Put her in a boat and let her live offshore, never to set foot here again. It has been done before. Even by a court.
To be banishedpermanently by a court judgement is constitutional.
OK, don’t go back to the miserable crime-infested places you come from. Let them rot. Stay here and tell America how to be America. What did everyone do until you came along.
BTW, I’m back where my ancestors came from.
At Wednesday’s rally, Trump will explain he meant go back to your barrios, your districts, and take your communism with you. He will keep the #Squat in the #Narrative in perpetuity.
Meanwhile he can pass things under the radar.
Rinse , repeat.
“If you can’t stand the heat, ladies, get back in the kitchen.”
