Four first-term, progressive Democratic congresswomen — known as 'the Squad' on Capitol Hill — condemned President Trump's racist tweets: 'This is the agenda of white nationalists.'
"I want to tell children across this country is that no matter what the President says, this country belongs to you," said Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York at a news conference on Capitol Hill on Monday."And it belongs to everyone and today that notion, that very notion was challenged."Ocasio-Cortez was joined by Reps.
"Omar went on to say,"This is the agenda of white nationalists, whether it is happening in chat rooms or it's happening on national TV, and now it's reached the White House garden."On Sunday, the President used racist language to attack progressive Democratic congresswomen, falsely implying they weren't natural-born American citizens; Omar was the only member of the four not born in the United States.
