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!”
