'We will not be silenced': squad Democrats decry Trump attacks

Four Democratic congresswomen of colour known as the 'the squad' accused Donald Trump of using racist attacks to try to sow division and distract from failed policies on immigration, health care and taxation. 'This president does not know how to make the argument that Americans do not deserve health care. He does not know how to defend his policies. So, what he does is attack us personally and that is what this is all about,' Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said. Ayanna Pressley urged the public to 'not take the bait' following Trump's Twitter messages that suggested the lawmakers go back to 'the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came.' Pressley said: 'We are more than four people, our squad is big ... We cannot and will not be silenced.' Ilhan Omar said Trump's remarks were rooted in the 'agenda of white nationalists'.
