The president’s tweet targeting congresswomen of color is just the latest in a long list of examples.
Donald Trump has added to his long list of racist rhetoric and actions.
On July 14, the U.S. president tweeted a racist rant, clearly aimed at four Democratic lawmakers, all women of color ― Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.), Ilhan Omar (Minn.), Ayanna Pressley (Mass.) and Rashida Tlaib (Mich.) ― saying they should “go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came.”
All four are American, and only Omar was born outside the U.S.
Trump then doubled down on his remarks the next day, telling reporters at an event at the White House that he believes the congresswomen “hate our country.”
