Romney does not condemn Trump telling congresswomen to 'go back' to their countries: “I certainly feel a number of these new members of Congress have views that are not consistent with my experience and not consistent with building a strong America'
Democrats put recent internal squabbles aside to unite in defense of four liberal congresswomen whom President Donald Trump on Sunday told to"go back" and fix the countries they"originally came from" before trying to legislate changes in the United States.
Graham said on"Fox& Friends" that he recently spoke to Trump and lauded him for his economic accomplishments and his military success against the Islamic State. He said Trump should contrast that with the four Democratic congresswomen's goals, which"would destroy this country." 2/2 @MittRomney. “At the same time, I recognize that the Pres has a unique and noble calling to unite all Americans regardless of our creeds or race or place of our national origin and I think in that case, the Pres fell far short.” Were comments racist? Answer @NBC10Boston 5pm. pic.twitter.com/6fqxnSvNp6"There is no excuse for the president’s spiteful comments –they were absolutely unacceptable and this needs to stop," Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, tweeted.
"No matter our political disagreements, aiming for the lowest common denominator will only divide our nation further." "We are proud to be the most diverse Congressional district in America. I urge our President immediately disavow his comments," Olson said in a tweet. The President’s tweets were wrong. I have vehemently criticized lawmakers on the far-left when I disagree with the direction in which they want to take the country – but criticism should focus on policy.Rep. Susan Brooks, R-Ind., said Trump's comments were"inappropriate and do not reflect American values." She called on all politicians to"raise their level of civility in order to address the serious issues facing our country.
Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., told CNN it was"counterproductive for a president to insult a member of Congress" but he declined to comment on whether he thought the tweets were racist.
