President Trump continued his attack on Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her allies by calling them “very racist” and a “bad” for the country.
“The ‘Squad’ is a very Racist group of troublemakers who are young, inexperienced, and not very smart,” Trump said Monday on Twitter. “They are pulling the once great Democrat Party far left, and were against humanitarian aid at the Border…And are now against ICE and Homeland Security. So bad for our Country!”

Trump’s attack was an escalation of his heightening criticism of Reps. Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, and Ayanna Pressey of Massachusetts.
On Sunday, the president accused the four Democrats of being incapable of loving America.
“I don’t believe the four Congresswomen are capable of loving our Country. They should apologize to America (and Israel) for the horrible (hateful) things they have said. They are destroying the Democrat Party, but are weak & insecure people who can never destroy our great Nation!”

All four congresswomen have renewed calls for Trump’s impeachment after the president told them to “go back” to their home countries earlier this month.
