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:

“This, is getting out of control, really quick and it won’t end well.”
That’s a fact.
I hope not. They’re not hurting anyone other than their own party and its candidates so with luck they’ll keep doing it well into the election cycle.
Yep, black Americans lining up for handouts from their Democrat masters, good. Black Americans making their own, independent, successful path in life, bad.
Gang of 4.

Oh my another bat crap crazy Dingbat
Damn, she’s a racist, bigoted ditz.
The SS?
That will work, also.
If Pelosi bounces just one of these militants off a single committee, BLM will mob her office & the Capitol police won’t do a thing about it.
Look at that expression on her face.
A real Leninista.
I have to say it: radical POCs suffer from CPRS (Chronic Perceived Racism Syndrome). I believe they themselves, deep within their souls, feel inferior to people with white skin. It is not people with white skin making them feel that way - it is their own personal demons that they cannot seem to overcome. They are projecting their own interior thoughts and feelings onto non-POCs, plain and simple.
