A
Leave the U.S., Trump tells liberal congresswomen of color
By J.LEMIRE
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) —
Starkly injecting race into
his criticism of liberal Dem-
ocrats, President Donald
Trump said Sunday that
four congresswomen of
color should go back to
the “broken and crime
infested” countries they
came from, ignoring the
fact that all of the women
are American citizens and
three were born in the U.S.
His attack drew a searing
condemnation from Dem-
ocrats who labeled the
remarks racist and breath-
takingly divisive.
Following a familiar script,
Republicans remained
largely silent after Trump’s
morning broadsides
against the four women.
But the president’s nativist
tweets caused Democrats
to set aside their internal
rifts to rise up in a united
chorus against the presi-
dent. In this May 18, 2019, file photo, Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., speaks during the fourth annual Citywide Iftar Dinner in Austin, Texas.
