‘The Squad’ Responds: Congresswomen Put President Trump on Blast

By: - July 15, 2019

Love them or hate them, no one will doubt the tenacity of “The Squad.” The four Democratic congresswomen who make up the squad have emerged as some of the most vocal and high-profile Democrats in Congress. And in recent days, they have found themselves locked in a prominent, heated battle with President Donald Trump.

While the Squad has made several tweets and other statements in recent days, pushing back against President Trump’s remarks, they upped the ante today by holding a joint press conference. Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib claimed that Trump’s comments were “a continuation of his racist and xenophobic playbook.” Tlaib also blasted Trump over conditions at migrant centers on the southern border. Trump responded via Twitter, claiming that poor conditions are the result of the previous administration.

Democratic Rep. Ayanna Pressley went after Trump’s personal character, arguing “He [Trump] does not embody the grace, the empathy, the compassion, the integrity that that office requires and that the American people deserve.” Pressley also pressed home the point that “we will not be silenced.”

Responding to Trump’s suggestion that they leave the country, Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) stated “we don’t leave the things we love. We love all people in this country.” While Trump urged the Squad to go back to their home countries, AOC, Pressley, and Tlaib are all native-born.

Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar was born in Somalia but has since become a naturalized citizen, like millions of other Americans. Regarding Trump’s comments, Omar claimed “this is the agenda of white nationalists, whether it is happening in chat rooms or happening on national TV. And now it’s reached the White House garden.”

Of course, President Trump has fired back his own response on Twitter:

    • Do anti-Semitic protesters still get student-debt 'forgiveness'?
      As to the signs held by and the slogans chanted by the "pro-Palestinian" protesters, switch out the words "Jew" or "Jewish" and insert the word "black." The nationwide George Floyd/Black Lives Matter protests of the summer of 2020 would then look like a knitting circle. President Joe Biden condemned "the anti-Semitic protests," but added, "I… […]
    • Another boneheaded move by House Republicans
      It was a bad day for First Amendment purists in the House of Representatives when, in bipartisan fashion, it voted to foist a definition of anti-Semitism by something called the "International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance" on the U.S. Department of Education, one of the Cabinet "deep state" posts marked for dropping by Donald Trump should he… […]

      The pro-Palestinian, pro-Hamas, anti-Israel protests have spread to university campuses across the country, just as the agitators hoped (and planned) for them to do. As was also expected, some of these protests have turned violent. A Jewish student was poked in the face with a flagpole at Yale University and hospitalized; another Jewish student was… […]
    • Can the public's distrust of media get much worse?
      The national media consider themselves essential in educating the electorate, so what happens when the electorate does not consider them a trustworthy guardian of democracy?

    • The 'Biden bump' didn't last long
      "The election is clearly changing now, moving towards Biden," the influential Democratic strategist Simon Rosenberg declared on March 26. "The Biden bump is real." For Republicans, Rosenberg is someone worth listening to; he was right about the nonexistent "red wave" many in the GOP expected back in 2022. When he said the election was moving,… […]
