'You can't leave fast enough,' President Donald Trump wrote on Twitter, referencing progressive Democratic congresswomen.

The president wrote:"Why don't they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came," after lashing out at the"'Progressive' Democrat Congresswomen" for"telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run." He added:"you can't leave fast enough.

Although Trump did not mention specific names, his comments were seen as a clear reference to Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts. As Amash and others pointed out, Tlaib, Ocasio-Cortez and Pressley were all born in the U.S. Omar immigrated to the U.S. in 1992 as a refugee originally from war-torn Somalia and has been a naturalized citizen since 2000, nearly two decades ago.

Ocasio-Cortez is ethnically Puerto Rican, which is not an independent country and is part of the U.S. All Puerto Ricans are American citizens by birth. Pressley is a black American, and was born in Ohio then raised in Illinois. Tlaib's parents, like Amash's father, immigrated to the U.S. from the Palestinian Territories, which the U.S. does not officially recognize as a sovereign state. She was born and raised in Michigan.

Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez , Rashida Tlaib and Ayanna Pressley attend a House Oversight and Reform Committee hearing on the Trump Administration's child separation policy on July 12 in Washington, D.C.Democratic Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi strongly condemned Trump's"xenophobic comments" in a series of Twitter posts.

"When @realDonaldTrump tells four American Congresswomen to go back to their countries, he reaffirms his plan to 'Make America Great Again' has always been about making America white again," she wrote."Our diversity is our strength and our unity is our power."

justinamash Country of origin. Grow up.

justinamash Justin Amash, Thank YOU 😊 It makes one feel better when it’s A REAL MAN AROUND!

justinamash My full support for the Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts.

justinamash Looks like justinamash continues to be the only GOP, former or present, with a spine.

justinamash Be wary of anyone who deliberately altered the president's words to create faux outrage, but has yet to condemn the anti semitic rhetoric spewed daily by the 4 members of Congress in question. Very, very telling.

justinamash But if the congresswoman goes back to her country of origin then Trump need also go back to the original country from where his parents migrated from for he is child of migrant

justinamash Chupacabra in the Congress.

justinamash 'Donald Trump only wants. And when he sees something, he either wants to take it, rape it, or destroy it; and sometimes all three. . . . think of Trump as a cosmic Jeffrey Dahmer. When he is through raping America, he will kill her, and eat her. ' Read:

I can almost smell the fear from President Trump, for the New Generation of Young Women in Congress

Never said go back to their countries....told them to go back where they are from, like their trashy districts, which are 3rd world countries

we should come up with solutions when we gather around the campfire. ..

These women betrayed the trust of the Americans people and they act as a Trojan mare.

Not a tweet I liked reading but justinamash changes the meaning by leaving out part of it. Anything to build a racism accusation. 🤥🤥

I may not agree with Trumps wording but I will say he makes a pertinent point. For instance, Omar’s father, a political figure during the Said Barre reign in Somali, a follower of Lenin and Marxist, strong ties and roots.

Justin Amash is still seething from the president's Amash take-down tweet. 'Racist and disgusting' ---- 😂😂😂😂 More Lies from The Dems.

What about some who should go back to rehab..?

who is more unpopular trump or the a tie

Until he starts naming names of those Republicans he says agree with him, this is all hot air and changes nothing.

Nooo..not again a other Democrat congressman labels Trump as racist. Lieu Hillary AOC Omar Mash......the only word all demo rats know is Racist

That's not what he said

Democrats have different bedfellows

Russia failed, Epstein blew up in their face soooooooo its back to racist LiberalFakeOutrage

Smash anash can be your airline chaperone...

Donald's description:

Freedom of speech ‼️something they do not have in the countries they left ‼️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I guess that since the republicans are remaining silent that they agree and remain solid racists

Those congressional women are the racist!!! And they say USA is racist!!! They should go back to their Traitoristic country till they know how to be thankful for America!!!

Racist and disgusting - the go to cliche words of the extremeleftwingsupremacists . Off course they should go back to their countries if they hate this country and its people like they so unashamedly demonstrates on a daily basis. And you 'journalists' should follow them.

“Some people did something” Ilhan Omar talking about 9/11. WGAF about her after that. She revealed herself.

Dehumanizing fellow countryman is a tactic used by Hitler.

White nationalism built this country not libertarianism or liberalism.

The RINO got caught being a RINO and had no other choice but to go full force to the left in hopes that they'll accept him with open arms. Don't want to give up that cushy salary and minimal work and all the wonderful perks that come from lobbyists.

DBChirpy trumps words are those of a fascist. No surprise since he states he is a nationalist. Nominated a Scotus judge who self declares himself as fascist. Justice Gorsuch. Trump is misogynistic as well. Common for those who follow fascism. SenateGOP HouseGOP

Took awhile. Was it Donald Trump's openly brandished alt-right KKK hood that pushed you over the brink?

I think they are hoping the same about you !!

2020 landslide is going to be hilarious

Trump Blasted Over Racist Tweets Targeting Congresswomen of Color While ‘Fox & Friends’ Laughs: ‘Very Comedic’Moments after President Trump took to Twitter to tell Democratic congresswomen of color to “go back” to where “they came” from, the hosts of his favorite cable news morning program laughed while reading the president’s racist comments, calling them “very comedic” before claiming Trump was “making an They are racist. Trump was right. If you hate America so much leave. Apart from the fact that most of these congresswomen are US-born citizens, the whole 'America: love it or leave it' argument is actually an example of the logical fallacy of false dilemma/false dichotomy. It's a fallacious oversimplification.

Trump’s Social Media Summit Was Ugly, Pointless, and WeirdThe president delivered meandering remarks about big tech’s supposed bias, and an ex-Trump aide almost fist-fought a reporter ImpeachTrumpNow There is clear bias as evidenced by this headline. An easily found clip would show the reporter starting the fight with SebGorka. No wonder I’m getting offers begging me to subscribe to this shell of a once decent magazine. What's new with Trump!

Here's why Trump is insulting Paul RyanIt's July 2019 and President Trump is again attacking Paul Ryan, a feud that might have died with the former House speaker's retirement in January. But the on-again, off-again duo is back in the spotlight thanks to new comments in a forthcoming book. Trump is working overtime to validate the British ambassador's assessment of Trump as a man who is deeply insecure. It can't be easy being as fragile as Trump is. Sad! Maybe because he's a useless tool who could have resolved our immigration problem but sucked up to the Democrats instead.. I thought only Democrats could oppose Trump though.
