Trump Strategy Working – Democrats are Sick of Defending ‘The Squad’
A group of House Democrats last week complained to CNN’s Jake Tapper about having to defend freshmen Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, and Rashida Tlaib (AKA “The Squad”) from President Trump.
“I can’t tell you the number of Members who are angry and annoyed about them criticizing us,” said one Democrat (preferring to remain anonymous).
On July 16th, House Democrats passed a resolution in defense of The Squad after the group was criticized by Trump.
“So interesting to see ‘Progressive’ Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe…loudly and viciously telling the people of the United States…how our government is to be run,” tweeted Trump.
“Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came? Then come back and show us how it is done…I’m sure that Nancy Pelosi would be very happy to quickly work out free travel arrangements!”
House lawmakers told CNN they expect The Squad to continue stirring up trouble despite the resolution.
“We were there for them; they should stop attacking us,” said one Democrat.
According to Democrats’ internal polling, AOC has an approval rating of 22% from her colleagues; Omar has a rating of 9%.
“What the President has done is politically brilliant,” another Democrat told Tapper. “Pelosi was trying to marginalize these folks, and the President has now identified the entire party with them.”
By attacking The Squad, Trump is forcing Democrats to defend them and adopt their positions including radical and radically insensitive comments like:
- “We don’t need any more brown faces that don’t want to be a brown voice.” – Ayanna Pressley
- “The United States is running concentration camps on our southern border.” – AOC
- 9/11 Terror attack = “Some people did something.” – Ilhan Omar
The Squad has clashed with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi numerous times, including this month over a border funding bill they opposed.
After the bill failed, Pelosi urged The Squad to speak with her about their complaints instead of posting to social media. As could be easily predicted, AOC accused Pelosi of racism.
I’d say the democrats are rusty in their chess playing and Trump always a step ahead -he seems to be a master chess player! Go Trump!!! love watching democrats (who unfortunately was one until Obama’s second term, voted for him the first time not the second and will never vote democrat again!) eat their own so to speak……..The squad, Nadler Schuemer, Pelosi, Waters and the likes are hysterical! The so called presidential candidates well if their the best they got -their in trouble for sure. Look forward to voting for Trump in 2020
Agreed!! Remember he was a business man before.. He had to work with foreign gov’s and that made him a better statesman.. These politicians/paramecium are in politics because they couldn’t find a job in the private sector..
I know for a fact I will never vote Democrat again even though raised as one in a family of Democrats. Not the same Party…that’s for sure!!
You are correct Trump is a great chess player but the dems are playing checkers.
THE DEMOCRATS ALL NEED THEIR HEADS EXAMINED AND HANDED TO THEM IN 2020. THESE EXCUSES FOR REPS ARE SICKENING. TAKE AWAY THEIR PERKS,GIVE THEM $15.00 PER HOUR WAGE AND ALLOW THEM THREE MONTHS A YEAR TO RUN THE COUNTRY, THIS IS ALL THAT IS NEEDED. THE SAME IS TRUE WITH STATE GOV’T AND LOCAL AS WELL.. GO YRUMP//////
I left the dumbascrap party after Jimmy Carter. I had reservations about Reagan, but after 6 months, I had to admit he was the man needed by this country. Trump is almost Reagan redux, a strong leader attacked on all sides by a pack of rabid dogs that couldn’t run a business to save their lives. Who has followed the most disastrous president since Andrew Johnson. It’s possible that there was a worse president then Obama. But I think the perspective of history will show Obama was far worse then any other president in the 19th and 29th centuries.
The squad is a bunch of loud mouthed anarcists set about their own voices.
I quit the Dem Party after Bill Clinton. Totally agree with you. The Dems today are just name callers and immature to the nth degree! What a shame!
Hopefully this will be an awakening. Business experience and real world experience
“TRUMP “life time freeloaders with no real life work experience or ethics.
ie, send an airplane full of Billiions of $’s in exchange for Iran”s agreement to slow their nuclear ambitions for a few years. Or propose open borders with free access to everything including
free health care , security etc in exchange for an agreement to VOTE Responsibly.
President Trump has never been shy in using social media to call out bad actors. Many people view this behavior as “unpresidential and ” devisive” and beneath the presidency. But make no mistake, he calls things as he sees them and unlike other politicians, backs up his words with actions. And that’s why he will be reelected.
I think we need to see all democrats tax retruns,all of them, they want to see trumps and his family’s!also mullers tax retruns! We need to to see Omar’s,aoc,pressleys,nadlers all of them then we will see if they still want to see trumps tax retruns. Also the squad needs to be removed from congress for spreding anti American bull–it!!! Get rid of them!!!
I LOVE watching the Democrats committing Suicide. They will really lose in 2020… Go Trump in 2020…
IT’S HARD TO IMAGINE THAT THEIR S A TRUE PATRIOT WHO WOULD EVEN CONSIDER A DEMOCRATIC VOTE ! LOVE YOUR COUNTRY , , VOTE ALL DEMS OUT ! N O W !
Trump 2020! My only concern is illegal voting practices! I live in California and the 2018 elections were very suspicious to say the least! Many areas that have always been Republican elected Democrats to the house but still voted Republican for Governor! That stinks to high heaven and I think the Democrats are willing to do anything to gain control!
One of the “best” things the left has done is to take the citizenship question off the census. Barry Obama did it during his terms as president. The rational they use is, since the citizenship question is not on the census, illegal aliens will be counted and the number of representatives in congress will be calculated based on the total number of people, NOT AMERICAN CITIZENS. This means ILLEGAL aliens will have representatives in congress. Most of the people are blind to that fact! Except the anti-American liberals and Demonrats.
No matter what you do or say non-Hispanic Caucasians will be a minority on or before January 1, 2042
Fun fact because of opioid deaths 17 states last year had negative non-Hispanic Caucasian population growth Entertainment of role there will be about 900,000 fewer white voters on January 1, 2020 then there was on January 1, 2016
Better check your stats there
The DEPLORABLE STOOGE’S SQUAD doesn’t need any DAMN % points for being IGNORANT and being HABITUAL LYING SCUMBAGS .. THE DEPLORABLE SQUAD STOOGE’S NEED TO KEEP THEIR PIE HOLE SHUT AND JUST JUST RESIGN FROM CONGRESS..
I can tell you’re an angry poorly educated working-class white male
Sorry but life sucks and then you die
IT’S TIME TO FLUSH THE WASHINGTON, D.C. TOILET OF CORRUPT AND OBSTRUCTIONIST DEMOCRATS. IT’S WAY PAST TIME TO ADOPT THE 28TH AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION TO CREAT TERMS LIMITS FOR BOTH HOUSES OF CONGRESS AND ELIMINATE CAREER POLITICIANS ONCE AND FOR ALL !! ABSOLUTE POWER CREATS ABSOLUTE CORRUPTION !! OUR FOUNDING FATHERS NEVER FORESAW A GOVERNMENT RUN BY “PROFESSIONAL CAREER POLITICIANS” !!!
I think the Republicans are growing tired of defending Mr Trump it appears another exodus of Republicans is about to begin in both the house and Senate know in 2020 maybe even worse than 2018 for them
Are you kidding? Trumps support is on the rise, just look at the polls
You’re terribly misinformed. The only Republicans who aren’t supporting our President are rhinos and blackmailed pedos.
Hope the rabid socialist democrats seek the mental health they are diseased with
Barry,
You need to get down of of cloud 13. Where do you come up with some of this crap?
The Democrats need to recognize that “the squad” are only “fair weather friends” to the Democrat Party. They have their own agendas, and not loyalty to their party, much less to the USA. Ayanna Presley’s statement is especially racist, saying, “We don’t need any more brown faces that don’t want to be a brown voice.” That is the “plantation” mindset, which requires being loyal to their “Massa” (Master) in positions on issues, rather than honoring the RIGHT of each person to have his or her OWN OPINION. One of them once declared herself to be “in charge,” because no one else was speaking out in favor of HER AGENDA ! ( And that was in spite of the fact that her issue-of-the-moment MADE NO SENSE !) You also see that mindset displayed when they despise a person of color for wanting to be highly educated and self-supporting, rather than riding on public welfare support. They have often called such an individual an “Uncle Tom,” for thinking and acting “too white.” One of them recently called Nancy Pelosi “racist” for not backing “the squad’s” position on an issue. Their history shows that their loyalty only lasts as long as others back THEM, no matter what topics are in discussion. They are only “fair weather friends,” who can not be trusted to be supportive, if you do not bow to their whims !!! They are effectively TAKING OVER the party, and other Democrats should open your eyes to see that ! It is no wonder that Democrats are tiring of defending “the squad.” It is humiliating to be seen trying to do so.
