Unbowed by furor over tweets, Trump tells congresswomen to ‘leave’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUnbowed by criticism of his racist tweets, US President Donald Trump is telling members of Congress: “If you hate our country… you can leave.”
Trump is responding to furor over his weekend tweets saying that four Democratic congresswomen of color should go back to the “broken and crime infested” countries they came from.
That’s despite the fact that all of the women are American citizens and three of them were born in the US.
Trump says at the White House, “If you’re not happy in the US, if you’re complaining all the time, you can leave, you can leave right now.”
Democrats condemned Trump’s tweets as racist and divisive, but Trump says that “a lot of people love” what he said.
