Going after four
Democratic congresswomen one by one, a combative President
Donald Trump turned his campaign rally into an extended dissection of the liberal views of the women of color, deriding them for what he painted as extreme positions and suggesting they just get out.
"Tonight I have a suggestion for the hate-filled extremists who are constantly trying to tear our country down," Trump told the crowd in North Carolina, a swing state he won in 2016 and wants to claim again in 2020.
Trump's jabs were aimed at the self-described "squad" of four freshmen
Democrats who have garnered attention since their arrival in January for their outspoken liberal views and distaste for Trump: Reps.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of
New York,
Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts and
Rashida Tlaib of Michigan.
