The nativist rhetoric, “go back to your country,” is often used in racist, Xenophobic and Islamophobic attacks, including a recent hate crime in New York City last week where a Hispanic woman was attacked and told, “You’re here taking jobs from Americans.”
“So interesting to see ‘Progressive’ Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world , now loudly and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run” Trump tweeted.
Trump’s tweets further stirred an ongoing, racially-tinged feud between House progressives and the Democratic establishment. The four progressives included Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota. The women of color were born in the United States, except for Omar who became a refugee in 1991 when a brutal civil war devastated Somalia, a predominantly Muslim country in East Africa, where at least one American among the 27 died in a terrorist attack Saturday.
When Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson launched nativist attacks against Omar, accusing her of holding “undisguised contempt for the United States and its people,” she tweeted, “Not gonna lie, it’s kinda fun watching a racist fool like this weeping about my presence in Congress.
