Trump: Four Democratic Congresswomen Not 'Capable of Loving Our Country'

Ken Bredemeier

   WASHINGTON DC - U.S. President Donald Trump contended Sunday that four
   minority Democratic congresswomen he has been feuding with are not
   "capable of loving our Country."

   "They should apologize to America (and Israel) for the horrible
   (hateful) things they have said," Trump said on Twitter. "They are
   destroying the Democrat Party, but are weak & insecure people who can
   never destroy our great Nation!"

     I don't believe the four Congresswomen are capable of loving our
     Country. They should apologize to America (and Israel) for the
     horrible (hateful) things they have said. They are destroying the
     Democrat Party, but are weak & insecure people who can never destroy
     our great Nation!

   For days now, Trump has assailed Congresswomen Ilhan Omar of Minnesota,
   Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ayana Pressley of Massachusetts
   and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, first telling them they should "go back"
   to their countries and "fix things" in their homelands before telling
   the U.S. what it ought to do. All of them are U.S. citizens, three of
   them by birth and Somali refugee Omar by naturalization.

   Democrats and some Republicans have sharply criticized Trump's week-old
   remarks and the U.S. House of Representatives condemned them as
   "racist," but the U.S. leader has continued to assail the four women,
   all newcomers to Congress in January.

   In turn, the lawmakers have attacked him, with Omar saying, "I believe
   he is fascist."

   The ongoing verbal warfare reverberated on the Sunday news talk
   television shows.

   Mercedes Schlapp, a Trump campaign aide, defended the president,
   telling ABC News, "I have worked with President Trump for two years and
   he is not a racist. He is a compassionate man whose policies have
   focused on the minority community."
