Over the weekend President Trump generated controversy for a tweet suggesting that a group of liberal congresswomen “ go back” to their home countries. There was little immediate reaction from Republican lawmakers, but on Monday some began condemning the remarks.
Texas Rep. Pete Olson called on President Trump to “immediately disavow” the comments, which appeared to target Democratic Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts.
“The Tweet President Trump posted over the weekend about fellow Members of Congress are not reflective of the values of the 1,000,000+ people in Texas 22. We are proud to be the most diverse Congressional district in America. I urge our President immediately disavow his comments,” Olson said over Twitter.
