| Subject: Retarded Amash Blasts Donald Trump’s ‘Racist And Disgusting’ Tweet At Progressive Lawmakers Mon Jul 15, 2019 3:44 am | |
| On Sunday, President Donald Trump made a veiled and controversial attack on Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Ayanna Pressley — all congresswomen of color — for voting against the House version of the border bill by telling them to go back to their “original” countries. Although Trump didn’t mention the women by name, the comment has been perceived as an attack on the congresswomen following tensions between them and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Trump’s controversial comment has generated backlash for its racial undertones, with some calling it racist. Per The Hill, Michigan Representative and former Republican Justin Amash is one such person and took to Twitter Sunday to blast the president for his comments.
“To tell these American citizens (most of whom were born here) to ‘go back’ to the ‘crime infested places from which they came’ is racist and disgusting,” Amash tweeted.
Pelosi also criticized Trump’s remarks, calling them “xenophobic” and suggesting that Trump’s goal is to make America white again — a reference to his “Make America Great Again” campaign slogan.
