Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), a member of the “Squad” that Democrats claim was the target of a racist attack by President told left-wing bloggers Sunday afternoon: “We don’t need any more black faces that don’t want to be a black voice.”
Pressley is one of the four left-wing Democrats disparaged out last week by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) as the “Squad.” The most prominent member, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), called Pelosi’s attack racist. That, in turn, drew criticism from the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC).
In response, Pressley appeared to blast the members of the CBC. The Washington Post reported:
An all-out racially charged fight within the House Democratic Caucus escalated Saturday when an African American freshman lawmaker said the party doesn’t need “any more black faces that don’t want to be a black voice.”
Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) made those comments during a speech at the liberal Netroots Nation conference where she, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) appeared after a week-long clash with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and her allies.
“This is the time to shake that table. . . . We don’t need any more brown faces that don’t want to be a brown voice,” Pressley said, seemingly taking a stab at the Congressional Black Caucus, which is allied with Pelosi. “We don’t need any more black faces that don’t want to be a black voice.”
Separately, one of the “Squad” members, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), a former refugee from Somalia, told a high school audience that the United States had failed to become a just society. She and Trump also traded barbs late last week.
On Sunday, Trump tweeted:

TRANSLATION: “If you have dark skin, WE OWN YOU!!!”
Why do you need more than one black if they have identical opinions?
What she is saying is, unless you support communism, you can’t be black or brown anymore.
Black slave masters keeping themselves on the political plantation
All in with the melanin.
Each one of these represents a democratic stronghold that is replete with crime and corruption.
That’s where they need to go back to.
Are there any black people out there that don’t have to be black to be somebody?
This, is getting out of control, really quick and it won’t end well.
I say the opposite. All those who use their skin color/race and put it before the country should return to their roots wherever that might be. Africa, Asia, The Middle East, wherever; just go and never return because we only want Americans here. At least those who choose to call America home.
Satan’s Squad
If you don’t tow the party line we’re gonna beat yo black Uncle Tom ass!
Drama Queen
Don’t worry, Ayanna, Planned Parenthood will see it done.
Pressley is in effect saying “Get back on the plantation”.
I predict that 2020 will be much like 1984!!
That conservative blacks are to be fought as traitors.
That black Democrats who don’t buy into identity politics won’t be supported.
So much for the MLK speech about content of character.
I figure Pelosi will find a way to deal with them pretty soon. She may take them off committees or maybe there suddenly will be some investigations.
“This, is getting out of control, really quick and it won’t end well.”
Bring it. We conservatives fully welcome any American who chooses freedom. Leave those crazies behind and join our movement.
