That followed similar suggestions last week that the four lawmakers—Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts—hate the U.S. Earlier on the same show, Rep. Elijah Cummings said the president was racist. “Yes, no doubt about it,” he said.
