A few hours later, the four women, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts - had a chance to respond. Ms Omar said that Donald Trump made a "blatantly racist attack" on four politicians "of colour". "This is the agenda of white nationalists," she added. And members of Trump's own party have begun speaking out against the President's comments. "My view is that what was said and what was tweeted was destructive, was demeaning, was disunifying, and frankly it was very wrong," said Senator Mitt Romney. "There is no excuse for the president's spiteful comments - they were absolutely unacceptable and this needs to stop," said Senator Lisa Murkowski. A number of world leaders, including Justin Trudeau of Canada, have spoken out against the comments.We will never be a Socialist or Communist Country. IF YOU ARE NOT HAPPY HERE, YOU CAN LEAVE! It is your choice, and your choice alone. This is about love for America. Certain people HATE our Country....
