‘Disgusting, racist’: Trump slammed for attack on congresswomen

Al Jazeera  

President Donald Trump has made racist remarks against a group of Democratic congresswomen, telling them on Twitter to go back where they came from despite being citizens of the United States. “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, 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,” said Trump on Twitter. “Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came.” The Republican president’s tweets drew sharp rebukes from the Democrats. Outgoing British Prime Minister Theresa May on Tuesday said Trump’s tweets were “completely unacceptable”. “Unfortunately there is an American tradition of telling people to go back where they came from,” New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, a Democratic presidential contender, said on CNN.
