Trump attacks the ‘Squad’ as ‘Racist group of troublemakers’

The Hill logoPresident Trump on Monday stepped up his attacks on a group of four freshman Democratic lawmakers, calling the group of minority women a “Racist group of troublemakers.”

For more than a week, the president has battled charges of racism after telling the group, made up of Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.), Ilhan Omar (Minn.), Rashida Tlaib (Mich.) and Ayanna Pressley (Mass.), to “go back” to where they came from.
