After President Trump tweeted that"'Progressive' Democrat Congresswomen" should stop criticizing the government and “go back” to where they came from, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi condemned the tweets as “xenophobic.”
The president did not explicitly name the congresswomen was referring to, but said they"originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe." He then went on to say that they should"go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how it is done.
Pelosi seems to conclude Trump was referring to four recently-elected and vocal progressive Democratic women -- Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass. and Rashida Tlaib D-Mich.
