In new tweets Tuesday morning, President Donald Trump denied being a racist as he continued to target four progressive Democratic congresswomen.
Trump is believed to be aiming his criticism at Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan.
His latest tweets came even as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.," said her party would introduce a resolution condemning Trump's "xenophobic tweets.”
Meanwhile, Trump wrote on Tuesday: “Those Tweets were NOT Racist. I don’t have a Racist bone in my body! The so-called vote to be taken is a Democrat con game. Republicans should not show “weakness” and fall into their trap. This should be a vote on the filthy language, statements and lies told by the Democrat.....
“.....Congresswomen, who I truly believe, based on their actions, hate our Country. Get a list of the HORRIBLE things they have said. Omar is polling at 8%, Cortez at 21%. Nancy Pelosi tried to push them away, but now they are forever wedded to the Democrat Party. See you in 2020!”
Ocasio-Cortez fired back: "You’re right, Mr. President - you don’t have a racist bone in your body. You have a racist mind in your head, and a racist heart in your chest."
