Donald Trump to Democrat ‘Squad’: ‘Why Don’t They Go Back and Help Fix the … Places from Which They Came’
Donald Trump to Democrat ‘Squad’: ‘Why Don’t They Go Back and Help Fix the … Places from Which They Came’ Joel B. Pollak 14 Jul 2019
President Donald Trump taunted the Democrats’ so-called “Squad” — the four far-left first-term representatives — on Sunday morning, telling them to go back and fix the places they came from before telling the rest of the country what to do.
He tweeted:
Zitat 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 (if they even have a functioning government at all), 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. Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how….

….it is done. These places need your help badly, you can’t leave fast enough. I’m sure that Nancy Pelosi would be very happy to quickly work out free travel arrangements!

Trump’s remarks seemed primarily directed at Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), who is from Somalia. On Friday, Omar said the president “shouldn’t be in office,” responding to his similar criticism of her, after questions from reporters.
Of the other three members, one, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), is a first-generation American whose parents immigrated from the West Bank, in an area administered by the Palestinian Authority. She represents a district that includes part of Detroit.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) represents parts of Queens and the South Bronx, and traces her roots to Puerto Rico, a U.S. territory. Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) is African-American, and was born to a single mother in Chicago.
The “Squad” is the nickname Pelosi has given the group, which is loosely organized around an organization called the “Justice Democrats,” which seeks to back primary challenges against moderate and white incumbents.
Ocasio-Cortez and her chief of staff, Saikat Chakrabarti, have feuded with Pelosi and the Congressional Black Caucus recently. After Ocasio-Cortez suggested Pelosi was racist, President Trump defended the Speaker — often his nemesis — on Friday.
Tucker Carlson recently ripped Omar for her constantly demeaning attitude toward her adoptive country.
ZitatCarlson began his monologue by pointing out that most Americans take pride in how “penniless” immigrants can come to America, embrace American values, and live out the American dream.
He went on to recap Omar’s personal history, noting that her family fled a brutal civil war in Somalia and lived for several years in a squalid refugee camp before emigrating to America.
Carlson continued by describing how Omar had grown up free, attended college, ran for congress, and became “one of the most powerful women in America.”
“Ilhan Omar has an awful lot to be grateful for, but she isn’t grateful,” Carlson said. “After everything America has done for Omar and for her family, she hates this country more than ever.”
The Fox host referenced a recent article on Omar in The Washington Post, quoting a passage about the congresswoman’s view of the nation.
“In Omar’s version, America wasn’t the bighearted country that saved her from a brutal war and a bleak refugee camp. It wasn’t a meritocracy that helped her attend college or vaulted her into Congress. Instead, it was the country that had failed to live up to its founding ideals, a place that had disappointed her and so many immigrants, refugees and minorities like her.”
“Omar isn’t ‘disappointed’ in America, she’s enraged by it,” Carlson said. “Virtually every public statement she makes accuses Americans of bigotry and racism … She has undisguised contempt for the United States and for its people,” he added.
“Ilhan Omar is living proof that the way we practice immigration has become dangerous to this country,” he said. “A system designed to strengthen America is instead undermining it. Some of the very people we try hardest to help have come to hate us passionately.”
You may be interested in knowing that for his correct assessment of Oman and her ingratitude, on the Left he is universally being called (but what else?) a "racist".
The military wing of the Democrat Party used to wear white hoods. That has now been replaced with black hoodies.

I have also read that the Progressive Left teamed up with the Civilization Jihadis and Antifa continue to harass Tucker and are trying to prevent him from earning a living.
We are in truly perilous times.
