Fierce Congresswomen Hit 'Weak-Minded' Trump Over Racist Comments
Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, Ayanna Pressley and Ilhan Omar had some things to say to Donald Trump about his weak leadership and lazy mind.
After Donald Trump lied and told reporters that the four Congresswomen who were the target of his racist tweets over the weekend hated this country and should leave, those fierce Congresswomen held a press conference where they gave everyone a lesson -- especially reporters -- in how to deal with his rhetoric.
In the 20-minute or so press conference, they repeatedly called for his impeachment and refused to rise to his bait. The press seemed to keep wanting to go in that direction, but they would not do it.
Rep. Ilhan Omar responded to Trump's false claim that she was "a communist and praised Al Qaeda" this way:
And again, Rep. Omar and Rep. Ocasio-Cortez hammered home how to answer when the press asks whether Trump's racist comments were their fault. When a reporter asks whether their controversial comments gave him "firepower" to turn them back around, these two fierce women took that reporter to school:
AOC: Absolutely. And I don't think it would have changed anything. Because first of all he made statements that were blatantly untrue. So whether he was citing comments or not citing comments if he didn't have what he wanted to say he would make it up.
This president operates in complete bad faith. He doesn't operate in good faith. And so that is one thing. But second to the previous question as well, weak minds and leaders challenge loyalty to our country in order to avoid challenging and debating the policy. This president does not know how to make the argument that Americans do not deserve health care. He does not know how to defend his policies. So what he does is attack us personally.
And that is what this is all about. He can't look a child in the face and he can't justify why this country is throwing them in cages. So instead, he tells us that I should go back to the great borough of the Bronx and make it better and that's what I'm here to do.
