Which GOP lawmakers have condemned Trump's tweet - CNNPolitics
Senator Roy Blunt (R-MO) "Just because the so-called squad constantly insults and attacks the president isn't a reason to adopt their unacceptable tactics,"
Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) "Instead of sharing how the Democratic Party's far-left, pro-socialist policies -- not to mention the hateful language some of their members have used towards law enforcement and Jews -- are wrong for the future of our nation, the President interjected with unacceptable personal attacks and racially offensive language, . . .No matter our political disagreements, aiming for the lowest common denominator will only divide our nation further."
Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) "I disagree strongly with many of the views and comments of some of the far-left members of the House Democratic Caucus -- especially when it comes to their views on socialism, their anti-Semitic rhetoric, and their negative comments about law enforcement -- but the President's tweet that some Members of Congress should go back to the 'places from which they came' was way over the line, and he should take that down."
Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) "That's not something I would say, and I think it's divisive, unnecessary and wrong."
Representative Will Hurd (R-TX) "I think those tweets are racist, and xenophobic, . . .They're also inaccurate. The four women he's referring to are actually citizens of the United States. Three of the four were born here. It's also behavior that's unbecoming of the leader of the free world. He should be talking about things that unite, not divide us."
Representative Pete Olsen (R-TX) "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."
Representative Fred Upton (R-MI) "Frankly I'm appalled by the President's tweets, . . .There's no excuse. Inflammatory rhetoric from both sides of the aisle that is used to divide us just isn't right. It's not helpful."
Senator Pat Toomey (R-PA) "President Trump was wrong to suggest that four left-wing congresswomen should go back to where they came from, . . .Three of the four were born in America and the citizenship of all four is as valid as mine. I couldn't disagree more with these congresswomen's views on immigration, socialism, national security, and virtually every policy issue. But they are entitled to their opinions, however misguided they may be. We should defeat their ideas on the merits, not on the basis of their ancestry."
Representative Paul Mitchell (R-MI) ".@RealDonaldTrump, we must be better than comments like these,. . .I share the political frustrations with some members of the other party, but these comments are beneath leaders."
Representative Susan Brooks (R-IN) "The President's remarks to my colleagues across the aisle are inappropriate and do not reflect American values,. . . ALL of our elected officials need to raise their level of civility in order to address the serious issues facing our country."
Representative Peter King (R-NY) "The tweets were inappropriate and wrong."
Representative John Katko (R-NY) "The President's tweets were wrong,. . . I have vehemently criticized lawmakers on the far-left when I disagree with the direction they want to take the country — but criticism should focus on policy."
Representative Mike Turner (R-OH) "I am confident that every Member of Congress is a committed American,. . . @realDonaldTrump's tweets from this weekend were racist and he should apologize. We must work as a country to rise above hate, not enable it."
Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) "There is no excuse for the president's spiteful comments -- they were absolutely unacceptable and this needs to stop,. . . We have enough challenges addressing the humanitarian crises both at our borders and around the world. Instead of digging deeper into the mud with personal, vindictive insults --we must demand a higher standard of decorum and decency."
Representative Elise Stefanik (R-NY) "While I strongly disagree with the tactics, policies, and rhetoric of the far-left socialist 'Squad,' the President's tweets were inappropriate, denigrating, and wrong. It is unacceptable to to tell legal U.S. citizens to go back to their home country,"
Representative Tom Cole (R-OK) "I am deeply disappointed in the president's comments directed toward fellow Americans and members of Congress,. . .Use of such language is inappropriate and demeans the office of the presidency."
