“This is the agenda of white nationalists,” said Rep. Ilhan Omar , who accused Trump of trying to distract the country from his policies. “We can continue to enable this president and report on the bile of garbage that comes out of his mouth or we can hold him accountable for his crimes.” Ocasio-Cortez said the president can't defend his policies, “so what he does is attack us personally and that is what this is all about.… He can’t look a child in the face and look all Americans in the face to justify why this country is throwing [them] in cages.”
