Well, that is certainly the case.

I wonder if he realizes that three of the four women (AOC, Talib, and Pressley) were born in the United States.

By the logic of his Tweet, he and his family who were born here should go back to Germany or Scotland.

Is not thinking before speaking or Tweeting a trait you want to have in a President ?

He does make a point re: people who seem to think it's great that a Somalian person is in Congress. Why is that, on its own, a great thing? Is Somalia some very successful place and we should be grateful that its people are coming here to show us how it's done? This Ilhan Omar has done nothing but run her mouth and cause trouble the short time that she is been in office. I certainly don't celebrate her presence in the U.S. Congress.

It ties into the whole immigration debate, where people claim that we need an unending stream of tens of millions to come into this country and improve things. I mean, what needs to be improved?

They aren't my heroes. I have written about my disagreements with AOC on tactics and policies in other threads.

"I feel sorry for the country that needs heroes."

What do you think it is then?

Can you articulate how the Tweet can be an exercise in anything other than stupidity or racism ?

trump was wrong to make this comment questioning the citizenship of the "squad". only one of the four was not born an American.

I support sending immigrant omar, the bigamist, back home to Somalia for breaking American law especially since she hates this country and American citizens.

Well, unfortunately they are the hero's of many, most likely because they bad mouth Trump on his level, and many like that. They also drown out any moderates.

He has said all kinds of things about white congressional representatives. Labeling everything as racist makes that word mean nothing.
