Really...'un-American'?
Let's step back for a minute.
These 4 turds have done NOTHING but bemoan Trump and our country since the day they were elected.
Less we forget this Muslim dog Congresswoman (remember now Islam is the religion of peace) called the POTUS a 'motherfucker'. After being sworn in, Rep. Rashida Tlaib told supporters, “We’re going to go in there and we’re going to impeach the mother------.” Mind you she didn't say this behind closed doors to friends... she said it to her supporters while being recorded!

So if Trump's tweets are somehow threatening and un-American, then what the hell is Tlaib's???
Gimmie a break.
Oh...and Pelosi is all in a tizzy over Trump targeting the squad. But don't ya just love Pelosi's take (downplaying) Tlaib calling Trump a "motherf**ker"?
"We shouldn't make a big deal of it." said the Botox Queen. Wonder if the shoe was on the other foot she would say the same?
Ya know, when push comes to shove these 4 dogs known as the squad...are really not the enigma. It's the idiots who sent them to Washington DC!

A dramatic controversy erupted on the House floor Tuesday over Republican objections to Speaker Nancy Pelosi's remarks criticizing President Donald Trump's tweets, resulting in a lawmaker abandoning the chair and storming off.
WASHINGTON – A clear majority of Americans say President Trump's tweets targeting four minority congresswomen were "un-American," according to a new USA TODAY/Ipsos Poll. But most Republicans say they agreed with his comments, an illustration of the nation's sharp partisan divide on issues of patriotism and race.
More than two-thirds of those aware of the controversy, 68%, called Trump's tweets offensive. Among Republicans alone, however, 57% said they agreed with tweets that told the congresswomen to go back to their "original" countries, and a third "strongly" agreed with them. All four lawmakers are American citizens; three were born in the United States.
That finding may help explain the reluctance of GOP leaders and most GOP members of Congress to castigate the president for tweets and comments in recent days targeting the congresswomen, outspoken progressives who are among his sharpest critics on Capitol Hill. Only four Republicans joined House Democrats Tuesday in passing a resolution condemning Trump's comments as "racist."
That said, the dispute could be costly for Trump among some key voters in his bid for a second term in next year's presidential election. Independents by more than 2-1 said his tweets were "un-American." Three-fourths of the women polled called them offensive.
The furor began Sunday morning with a string of presidential tweets aimed at freshwomen Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan. Trump's disparaging comments and the fierce responses from the four congresswomen and other Democrats have overwhelmed attention to other pressing issues, including fundamental changes in asylum policy, the treatment of undocumented migrants at the border, and a looming deadline to raise the debt ceiling and reach a budget deal.
That could presage a 2020 presidential campaign that is ignited more by cultural conflicts than by economic concerns or foreign policy issues.
The USA TODAY/Ipsos Poll of 1,005 people, taken online Monday and Tuesday, has a credibility interval of 3.5 percentage points.
“A majority see President Trump’s tweets as un-American,” said Cliff Young, president of Ipsos Public Affairs. “However, there’s a huge partisan difference in how we interpret what’s racist in this country.”
Two-thirds of those surveyed, 65%, said that telling minority Americans to "go back where they came from" was a racist statement. Nearly three-fourths of Democrats strongly agreed with that. Republicans were inclined to agree that the comment was racist, but only by a narrow margin, 45% to 34%.
Republicans were much more skeptical of charges of racism generally. Seventy percent agreed that "people who call others 'racist' usually do so in bad faith." On that question, Democrats were split: 31% agreed; 35% disagreed.
When it came to patriotism, an overwhelming majority — 72% of Democrats, 93% of Republicans — said they were proud to be an American. While 75% of Republicans also said they were "proud of America right now," however, just 29% of Democrats agreed on that.
There was a broad consensus among those surveyed that it was patriotic "to point out where America falls short and try to do better."
But in response to a separate question, 52% of Republicans said that those who criticize America are "un-American." Just 17% of Democrats felt that way.
The poll showed the degree to which the United States remains a nation of immigrants. Forty-one percent said that they had a parent or grandparent who had immigrated from another country, or that they himself had done so. There was virtually no partisan difference on that question: 45% of Democrats, 43% of Republicans.
