Trump Tells Democratic Congresswomen To “Go Back” Where They Came From

Donald Trump unleashed one of his most disgusting Twitter tirades to date on Sunday, telling Democratic Congresswomen Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and Ayanna Pressley to “go back” where they came from. Republicans have remained mostly silent about this racially-charged and completely false attack, but there’s another reason Trump feels emboldened to engage in these kinds of tirades. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

So by now, I'm sure everybody is aware of the fact that Donald Trump engaged in a highly bigoted Twitter tirade on Sunday attacking a democratic congress. Women. He did not specifically name them, although it's pretty obvious that he's talking about the four women that Nancy Pelosi has been degrading for the last couple of weeks, which is representatives, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, Ayanna Pressley, and Ilhan Omar. Here are Donald Trump's tweets.

"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. 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!"

Three of the four of these women that Donald Trump is very obviously referring to were, were born in the United States, have lived there, a here for their entire lives. Uh, Ilhan Omar was born in Somalia, left during the civil war there, has been in the United States since she was nine years old. All of them are United States citizens. But I think we already know that, right? This, this isn't new information. We understand where these women came from and what they're doing and that they're trying to make this country better. What Donald Trump is doing. Cause he spent the entire weekend doing this. This was the culmination of it that unfortunately as of this morning is still going on. He is trying to piggyback off of the alleged democratic infighting where Nancy Pelosi has been calling out the same for women. You know, kind of demeaning them, you know, downplaying their influence within the party. And Donald Trump thought, you know what? I can piggy back off this, demonize these women even further, Act like I'm sticking up for Nancy Pelosi, and may be helped my sagging approval rating, and this is the culmination of it.
