Ilhan Omar said that President Donald Trump is a “racist” who wants all minorities “deported and Muslims banned.”
“You all should end this charade and accept that this racist president wants every black/brown person deported and Muslims banned,” Omar tweeted Saturday night.
The president responded as he took to Twitter on Sunday morning to query their loyalty, saying they should apologize to the U.S. as well as Israel for their confrontational behavior, adding America will not be destroyed by their invective.
“I don’t believe the four Congresswomen are capable of loving our country,” the president wrote in a Sunday morning tweet. “They should apologize to America (and Israel) for the horrible (hateful) things they have said.”
Today he continues with his Twitter storm by labeling the Squad as a racist group.
The “Squad” is a very Racist group of troublemakers who are young, inexperienced, and not very smart. They are pulling the once great Democrat Party far left, and were against humanitarian aid at the Border…And are now against ICE and Homeland Security. So bad for our Country!-Trump tweeted.

President Trump stood by his comments about the congresswomen, saying that they should leave the U.S. if they are unhappy. He did, however, distanced himself from the “send her back” chants, saying that he disagreed with them.
