Unfazed by widespread criticism, President Donald Trump on Monday intensified his incendiary comments about four Democratic congresswomen of color, urging them to get out if they don't like things going on in America.
They fired back at what they called his "xenophobic bigoted remarks" and said it was time for impeachment according to TRT World reports.
Late on Monday, after Trump defended his calling for the lawmakers to go back to their "broken and crime infested" countries, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York said Trump "does not know how to defend his policies and so what he does is attack us personally."
Trump said condemnation of his comments, including belatedly from some Republicans, "doesn't concern me because many people agree with me."
"The Dems were trying to distance themselves from the four "progressives," but now they are forced to embrace them," Trump boasted. "That means they are endorsing Socialism, hate of Israel and the USA! Not good for the Democrats!"
The president responded to questions at the White House after his Sunday tweet assailing the lawmakers, all of whom are US citizens and three of whom were born here. He has been roundly criticised by Democrats who labeled his remarks racist and divisive.
A smattering of Republicans also have objected, though most leading Republicans have been silent.
