See the president’s response for yourself:
The Amazon Washington Post did a story that I brought racist attacks against the “Squad.” No, they brought racist attacks against our Nation. All I do is call them out for the horrible things they have said. The Democrats have become the Party of the Squad!

Some of the statements from the aforementioned House caucus members include calling for the end of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), dismissing 9/11 as “some people did something,” and ongoingly attacking Israel.
Tlaib issued multiple verbal attacks on Israel, even after the government lifted a ban to allow her to visit her elderly grandmother. Israel respectively banned both Omar and Tlaib from entering the country due to their support of BDS.
In light of comments which Omar and Tlaib have made regarding Israel and U.S. politicians allegedly getting payments to support Israel, the president branded this 50% of “The Squad” as racist.
Accusations of Racism Against the President
Left-wingers and other individuals who dislike Trump have frequently classified him as a racist. This is not a new or original assessment of the president whatsoever. Trump’s supporters have challenged accusations of racism; moreover, the president and his supporters maintain that Democrats regularly employ the race card after they’ve lost or run out of arguments.
