President Trump blasted the Democratic Party for being too afraid of some of its own members to “rebuke the filthy and hate laced things they have said.”
“The Democrat Congresswomen have been spewing some of the most vile, hateful, and disgusting things ever said by a politician in the House or Senate, & yet they get a free pass and a big embrace from the Democrat Party,” he tweeted, presumably referring to Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Ilhan Omar (D-MN).
“Horrible anti-Israel, anti-USA, pro-terrorist & public shouting of the F...word, among many other terrible things, and the petrified Dems run for the hills," he continued. "Why isn’t the House voting to rebuke the filthy and hate laced things they have said? Because they are the Radical Left, and the Democrats are afraid to take them on. Sad!”

The president's comments come after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi introduced a resolution condemning his "xenophobic tweets" that called on the group of congresswomen to go back and help the countries they came from before lecturing the U.S. about how its government should work. Omar is the only immigrant in the group, however.
