Watching the four-woman “squad” respond to President Trump’s already famous Tweets urging “progressive” Democrats to “go back” to their “original countries,” one wonders why Rep. Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts would want to be lumped in with the other three.
Pressley’s remarks were standard-issue liberal, but restrained and dignified in the face of Trump's out-of-bounds comments. The other three Democrats handled the situation very differently, combining mendacity, smears, and radicalism in ways with which Pressley should not want to be associated.
Pressley never even used the words “racist” or “racism.” Using the words correctly, she accused Trump of making remarks that were “xenophobic and bigoted.”

Rep. Pressley is part of the "Justice Democrat" party. She is not into making the politically charged ridiculous accusations of AOC, and Ilhan Omar.
Look them up and do some research--the media sure as hell isn't going to expose them.
The media drools at virtually everything they stand for and because of all the attention given to them, they provide cover AGAINST finding solutions other than to destroy what has come before in order to create a new government WITHOUT Constitutional restraints to the point of anarchy and a re-creation of a new society.
The 'squid' are impatient and DO NOT want to work within the established rules to create "change" through the systems in place.

Out-of-bounds comments? Sorry, I don't buy it. They brought this fight on. . .

Well, la-dee-dah to her too. The politics are still the same. She belongs with the squad.

All four were angry, distasteful and wrong! Pressley would not even call President Trump, “President,” but, “Occupant,” as though it was a title on junk mail. Yet, she be the first one to say she honors the office.,
These Justice Democrats are a hate group, formed by young Turks guy, Ugher, and probably funded by a Soros. They will stop at nothing, nothing to oust President Trump. Pray for our country and protection from fools, from hate and from lies.

When PDJT wins re-election next year, I would not want to be within 100 yards of any of these four amigos...

No matter how 'refined' her speech is, she and the others
are all lying.

If all these 4 insane women accomplish is to lead a sweep of House and Senate seats by REPUBLICANS in the 2020 election then they have done us a huge favor.

I stopped reading at “out-of-bounds. The truth is never out of bounds.

Sorry, Quin, but calling our President's words "xenophobic and bigoted" is most certainly not using those terms correctly; making her only slightly less extreme than her "sisters". I am much more interested in deeds than words when judging someone's character and motives. The "squad" (although four members hardly qualifies as such) fails on both counts.

Oh please. Next, the media will be telling us Pelosi and Obama are moderates since so many Democrats have staked out positions further left than they ever did. The Democratic party marched to a far-left agenda for eight long years under Obama, and continue to do so to this very day. That includes Pressley. Pressley hides her intentions while people like AOC, Omar, and Tlaib where there intentions on their sleeves. Washington is full of sneaks and tyrants. Pressley is a sneak hiding her tyranny. The others are open tyrants.

I would like to see Hillyer extended an invitation to Pressley saying, "I'd like to interview you and allow you to distance yourselves from these other three women."
That would help Hillyer get her head on straight.
These four woman and Hillyer share a common hatred for Trump.

PDT's comments were not “xenophobic and bigoted”. Our language has been so twisted in this uneducated generation.
He said what many of us have thought for years about the hollywood threateners and politicians who said they couldn't live here if he was elected--THEN LEAVE!!!
The astounding thing is that these four xx's were even elected. I'm guessing the majority of people who voted for them had no idea they would spew this hate.
MAGA!!! KAG!!! Haters of our country are all in the same group--let's not break them down on the basis of their levels of decorum.

Squad? Maybe. But I think that these four who disport themselves so in public bring to mind Ogden Nash’s WWII ditty
“Four Prominent Bastards”.

When addressing "Squad" comments, the focus should be on content and not the speaker's heritage.

Nobody knew who Pressley was until yesterday. She just jumped on the fame train.

She sees the attention the other 3 get and wants in on the action. The fact that she's a radical is relevant, but it is all about the face time with her.
