On Sunday morning, Trump referenced the recent tension between Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and the four freshman Democrats who voted against the House version of a border bill — Omar, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), and Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA).
“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.
Only Omar was born outside the United States, and all four were elected to the House of Representatives, where their job is literally to govern this country.
“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.
UK Prime Minister Theresa May has criticised US President Donald Trump for calling on several Democratic congresswomen of colour to "go home".
ReplyDeleteThe outgoing PM called Mr Trump's words "completely unacceptable", according to her spokesperson.
Mr Trump said the women "originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe".
He was referring to four congresswomen - three who were born in the US and one who came as a child refugee.
His remarks were widely condemned as racist, and as having gone beyond previous statements and actions by the president that drew allegations of racism.
Prospective Democratic presidential candidates denounced Mr Trump's tweets as racist and divisive. Republican Party representatives kept quiet.
Despite the criticism, President Trump launched another Twitter tirade on Monday morning, calling on the women themselves to apologise.
The women - Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib and Ayanna Pressley, and Ilhan Omar, who came to the US as a refugee aged 12 - all called the president racist and were been backed by members of the Democratic Party.
Theresa May was the one found to be completely unacceptable.

ReplyDeleteFormer Secretary of State Hillary Clinton slammed President Donald Trump’s racist attacks on a squad of Democratic congresswomen on Sunday, clapping back that there was one person responsible for the “complete and total catastrophe” in Washington: the president himself.
ReplyDelete“They’re from America,” Clinton wrote on Twitter, referencing Trump’s inaccurate statements about progressive women in Congress. “And you’re right about one thing: Currently their government is a complete and total catastrophe.”
Trump's dumb ass didn't know three of them were born in the US.
