alexandria ocasio-cortez, ilhan omar, ayanna pressley, and rashida tlaib. he called them anti-american. the news has been going bonkers ever since. the consensus in washington is that trump made a mistake by once again making a story about himself. maybe that's true, time will tell. but there's another way to look at it. by singling out these four members of congress, the president also highlighted their prominence in the democratic party. six months h ago, these were jut four young lefties in a sea of 235 house democrats. now, they are the democratic party. if you don't believe it, youou must have missed the press conference they just held, at which all of the channels took live. they said a lot which would help to find the democratic party going forward. here's an example, ayanna pressley of massachusetts explains the president is o not really the president. >> from the occupants of our white house, i will always refe> to him as the occupant as he is only occupying faith, not embodying the grace come come of

you heard ayanna pressley go first.he said pointedly at the beginning, don't take the bait, she was d saying. that's the important thing. and then sheor seemed to pivot pretty explicitly to a number of issues, prescription drugs, the situation at the border, and she tried to be elevate -- saying, let's get back to the issues we were sent here to deal with. let's not take the bait.le that was the message i heard from her. i heard that a little bit from the initial answer as well from ocasio-cortez. she had a line iro wrote down, e said, we don't leave what we love. i thought that was an interesting line. but you didou hear a different message particularly from ilhan omar who accused the president, she said credibly accused of crimes, including colluding with a foreign government. she ended it with a call to impeach him. >> it was funny, when i was listening to congresswoman omar, at first i was like, oh, my gosh, she's going there, she used the p word, s-hole country, not abbreviated like i did. i was taken back. wait, t

amy: president trump doubles down on his racist attacks against congressmembers ayanna pressley, alexandria ocasio-cortez, rashida tlaib, and ilhan omar. on monday, the respondent. >> this is a president who is ultimately violated the very value our country aspires to up hold. equality under the law, religious liberty, equal protection, and protection from persecution. and to distract from that, he is launching a blatantly racist elected members of the united states of house of representatives, all of whom are women of color. amy: the house is set to vote today on a resolution condemning trump's attack. then we will speak with julian castro, the presidential cacandidate who says president trump is acting like a white supremacist and calling for the breakup of ice. >> let me be clear. the reason they're separating these lilittle children from thr families is there using section 1325 of that act, which analyzes coming across the border, to andrcerate the parents separate them. some of us on the stage have called to end it. amy: julian castro will join us from iowa. all of that in more, coming

host: that from representative ayanna pressley. joining us on the phone is damien fisher, covering all of this for the "new york daily news." as we look at the squat in particular, representative alexandria ocasio-cortez. thank you for being with us on c-span. we appreciate it. guest: thanks for having me. host: give us a sense of the political strength or lack thereof at aoc has every freshman member in her district and what potentially she will face next year. guest: well, i think she has got great, you know, she has got a lot of strength from the support in the district. district,% hispanic and although the hispanic vote is not uniform, i think that the president's statementsmong demo. do know, she has bee in a townhe meeting and made much about his statements being racist, and i think that that is just sort of galvanized for supporting the district. you also have to take into account that we're talking about an extremely strong democratic enrollment in both the bronx and where her district is split, and we are talking about in

( laughter ) i'll be honest, if it was ayanna pressley, i wouldn't know how to feel about this because on the one hand i don't want to get booed, on the other hand, i don't want to be left out, the only person who doesn't get booed. if all my friends got booed and i didn't, i would be, like, you would tell me if i wasn't booable, right? i would go to instagram and see there's no likes, no one likes me? ( laughter ) while the crowd may not have been as familiar with ayanna pressley, it was very clear how they felt about ilhan omar. >> it was the defining moment to have the president's rally wednesday night in north carolina. the raucous crowd unleashing a new chant, send her back. >> trevor: back. >> obviously and importantly, omar has a history of launching vicious, anti-semitic words ( chanting "send her back" ) >> trevor: wow, send her back. a u.s. citizen, send her back. yeah. almost makes

there has been no response from alexandria ocasio-cortez, rashida tlaib or ayanna pressle ayanna pressley. only ilhan omar has responded. if she retweeted former obama speech writer who said that 1 criticized omar he was horrified to hear, as you heard earlier, the crowd chanted "center back." omar quoted my angelo sang "you may shoot me with your words. you may cut me with your eyes. you may kill me with your hatefulness, but still, like air, i will rise." and today on cbs this morning, the entire squad went after the president. watch. >> this is a man who has deep-seated animosity and hatred, who feels so small. who works so hard to make others feel beneath him.

and ayanna pressley was born here and ilhan omar was born in somalia but grew up here in the united states. he suggested nancy pelosi would be happy to arrange it. nancy pelosi rejected what she calls the president's xenophobic comments and went on to criticize the raids happening today. boris sanchez is at the white house tonight. there's little doubt who the president's tweet was referring to. why target them? >> president trump is trying to exploit a rift in the democratic party. these four progressive members have been critical of house speaker nancy pelosi, specifically saying that she caved to the administration with the passage of this immigration funding bill last week. pelosi has been frustrated with their use of social media, believing they are often too critical of other democrats. but the president's tweet appears to have backfired. these two sides now apparently

freshman congresswoman, ocasio cortez, congresswoman tlaib and omar and ayanna pressley are now running the show. speaker pelosi is now totally powerless. i don't know why she even has the gavel. president trump has weighed in and now and this fake phony moral selective outrage machine of the left, they are in full gear. how did we get here? tonight we will break it all down. wera have a special "hannity" investigation into these fanatical leaders of the democratic party. last week, the gloves came off between congresswoman alexandra ocasio cortez and speaker pelosi. the fued boiled over during an interview when a ocasio cortez suggested nancy pelosi is a racist. i've been saying, she is nancy pelosi, speaker name only and we have been right all along. aoc's attack last week camee immediately after pelosi told the entire democratic house caucus to voice their concerns directly to her. face-to-face. not on social media. what did a ocasio cortez do? she went straight to social media so the question is who really has the power? meanwhile, aoc's close friend and colleague, congresswoman aya

>> in response to the president's tweets and recent comments, democratic representatives ayanna pressley, omar,nt omar, -- ilhan rashida taleo and alexandria ocasio-cortez held a press conference. xenophobicace of the remarks from the occupant of our white house. i will always refer to them as he is only occupying space, he does not embody the grace, empathy, the compassion, the integrity that that office requires and the american people deserve. that being said, i encourage the american people and all of us in this room and beyond to not take the bait. distractionsruptive concern issues of care, and consequence to the american people. that we were sent here with a decisive mandate from our constituents to work on. everything from reducing the cost of prescription drugs to addressing affordable housing crisis. peoplering the american have more than health insurance, but health care. more recently, thanks to the partnership of chairman elijah cummings and the advocacy of myself and a coalition of advocates, we held the first hearing for childhood trauma and sitting in that hearing as we h

that is what i hear from pressley. it doesn't strike my ears in a racist way.litical context that pops up and what happens and what is happening. she is talking about race. she is talking about what people ought toelieve why is she not kritized like donald trump. this are broad, very different, broad bh figures. that's hard to look at in the narrow world of politics. >> this is a were frustrated with trump's tweets. if you let the democrats have their in- fighting. you mentioned the pressley quote specifically that could of dominated coverage on capitol hill for at least a week. trump instead has tweeted uniting the democratic party. this fighting on capitol hill causing problems for nancy pelosi. that was put in the>'ó back gro. the democrats have a issue. these four are defining what people are reading in the news around the country. pelosi wants the focus on healthcare. she doesn't want to talk about medicare for all or socialism. that's not good for democrats. again trump changed the narrative. >> i think that's the fundamental problem.moats have . when you

meanwhile, aoc's close friend and colleague, congresswoman ayanna pressley wants to racial attack against pelosi's allies, even summoning the congressional black caucus. watch this. >> to all of you that has aspirations of running for office, for whatever lytic experience and identity that you represent, if you are not prepared to come to that stable and to represent that voice, don't come. because we don't need any more brown faces that don't want to be a ground voice but we don't need black faces but don't want to be a black voice. we don't need muslims that don't want to be a muslim voice. we don't need that don't want to be a clear voice. >> hannity: tonight, does not matter what speaker pelosi says, what she does. the radicals are in charge. anyone who opposes them, of course, quickly labeled xenophobic, homophobic and lonely, laws of islam us will become a racist, everything great the so-called squad of far less congresswoman are now using identity politics even against members of their own party. the end goal is to fundamentally reshape america. that's within three new deal is alwa

pressley would not even refer to the president by the title. look, we disagreed with barack obama on a lot of things that he did. the policies. as our conference chair laid out, there are a lot of policies that we had disagreements on with speaker pelosi and her socialist democrats, just like we had disagreements with a lot of barack obama's policies, but we never disrespected the office. i called him president of the united states, as we all did. if he asked us to go meet with him at the white house, we went. we expressed our disagreements in a respectful way, but what they continue to do, to go after him personally, to call for impeachment of the president from day one. the night they won the majority, they weren't even in office, they didn't even have the mueller report that they thought would show collusion, and yet, they still want to keep going down that road instead of working with us to improve the daily lives of hardworking families. with that now i'll bring up the republican leader of our conference, kevin mccarthy. mr. mccarthy: than

host: that from representative ayanna pressley.ning us on the phone is damien fisher, covering all of this for the "new york daily news." as we look at the squat in particular, representative alexandria ocasio-cortez. thank you for being with us on c-span. we appreciate it. guest: thanks for having me. host: give us a sense of the political strength or lack thereof at aoc has every freshman member in her district and what potentially she will face next year. guest: well, i think she has got great, you know, she has got a lot of strength from the support in the district. district,% hispanic and although the hispanic vote is not uniform, i think that the have not's statements won him any allies there, and she came out and 1 in a townhome meeting and made much about his statements being racist, and i think that that is just sort of galvanized for supporting the district. you also have to take into account that we're talking about an extremely strong democratic enrollment in both the bronx and where her district is split, and we are ta

in detroit, michigan, congresswoman ilhan omar, growing up in minnesota, and congresswoman ayanna pressley, born in chicago, illinois. in a series of racist tweets, we're calling it as we see it, this morning, trump writing this. so interesting to see progressive democrat congresswomen who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world, if they even have a functioning government at all, now loudly and viciously telling the people of the united states the greatest and most powerful nation on earth how our government is to be run. why don't we go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. then come back and show us how it is done. these places need your help badly. you can't leave fast enough. i'm sure that nancy pelosi would be very happy to quickly work out free travel arrangements. well, house speaker nancy pelosi immediately firing back with this, saying when real donald trump tells four american congresswomen to go back to their countries, he reaffirm

william lacey clay, nancy pelosi and even pressley threw shade at nancy pelosi in the so-called press conference. more like a gaga in front of suply can't. she said our squad is more people. nancy pelosi said they're four people. a glass of water could have won their districts. these four women are distinctive for one important reason. the only four democrats to vote against any form of humanitarian aid at the border. they have no moral authority to talk about the border and the kids and the humanitarian crisis there. they are the only four democrats to vote against a democratic package and the package that got signed to law. i was at the border on friday. the aid is already making a difference in terms of the conditions down there. >> bill: but if they were already under fire by leaders in their own party, why get in the way of that? effectively that's what's happened. >> i disagree with that assertion respectfully, bill. the president -- we're sick and tired of many people in this country. forget these four. they represent a dark underbelly in this country of people who are not resp

pressley is recognized. ms. pressley: thank you, mr. chairman. i want to thank chairwoman waters for her vigilant and steadfast leader shep to continue to breg people across the aisle to the american people and always putting consumer protection at the center of that i want to thank my colleague, representative huizenga for his partnership. i rise in support of the resolution which highlights the important role that state securities regulators play in strengthening the financial services industry. the financial crisis devastated american families everywhere but as we watched unemployment skyrocket, home values credit and credit disappear, it became clear that the impact of the crisis hit harder for some. black families that had only just begun to build wealth through home ownership watched everything they had worked for disappear. although the recovery has been similarly unequal, it is critical to recognize those on the frontlines protecting the investments of working families and small businesses alike. the north american securities administrato

so representative ayanna pressley -- is she related in any way to elvis? i don't know. who knows? she said we don't need any more brown faces that don't want to be brown voices. we don't need black faces that don't want to be a black voice and just this week -- can you imagine if i said that? it would be over, right? i have a suggestion for the are constantly trying to tear our country down. they never have anything good to say. that's why i say hey, if they don't like it, let them leave let them leave, right? let them leave. >> laura: if you couldn't hear, there was a moment in the middle of the president's remarks about the gang of four were a small section of the back," a reference to the president 's original tweet on the issue. well, the media -- of course quick, this pavlovian response to frame the entire rally around this one section of the crowd's reaction. >> that's a crowd of americans being incited by the american president to chant "send her back" against an american congresswoman. >> the president standing before the all-white crowd -- almost all-white crowd, basking

pressley's entire life has been a story of patriotism. loving her country so much that she wanted to help america live up to its ideals. a strong woman raised in public housing by a fearless mother who sacrificed to keep her safe. an activist who found in boston a life of public service and determination to speak up for people who were underrepresented. that story identifies as more american than any mantle this president can ever claim. no wonder donald trump is afraid of her. leading off our discussion tonight are leonard pits, jr., column must for the "miami herald." his latest piece is called this land is our land, donald trump. also white house correspondent from the pbs news hour and political analyst and congressman eric swalwell from california, a member of the judiciary committee. >> you gave one of the most powerful statements on the floor yesterday before that vote to condemn what president trump has been saying about your colleagues. i want to get your reaction to what he continued to say and said tonight. our own government t

the fact is, rasheida tlaib, alexandria ocasio-cortez, ayanna pressley, are native-born americans. congresswoman ilhan omar was born in somalia but became an american citizen years ago and today the congresswomen fought back. >> i encourage the american people and all of us in this room and beyond to not take the bait. this is a disruptive distraction from the issues of care, concern, and consequence, to the american people. >> i want to tell children across this country is that no matter what the president says, this country belongs to you. and it belongs to everyone. and today, that notion, that very notion, was challenged. >> joining me now is senator bernie sanders. he's a vermont independent who is running for the democratic presidential nomination. senator, i'm so glad that you could join us. thank you so much. >> my pleasure. >> president trump is denying his racist tweets were racist. that's what he says. why's the president doubling down on this, senator? >> i have not a clue, but i want to tell you, don, that i never imagined in my lifetime that i would hear a president o

here's an example, ayanna pressley of massachusetts explains the president is o not really the president>> from the occupants of our white house, i will always refe> to him as the occupant as he is only occupying faith, not embodying the grace come come of -- the empathy, the compassion, the integrity that that office required and that the american people deserve.er >> tucker: right. so if you're not compassionate, according to this member ofof congress, you are illegitimate. this president is illegitimate, you she said, because the 2016 election itself was illegitimate.el it didn't go the way democrats wanted, so, of course, it must've been rigged. three weeks after the mueller report showed otherwise, ilhan omar of minnesota repeatedly said the competes received theory of the president colluded with russia. watch. >> this president, who has been credibly accused of committing multiple crimes, including colluding with foreign government c and interfering wih our election. >> e tucker: it went on like this, just days after a chariot attack on a i.c.e. facility. the group repeated the ins

pressley. >> thank you, mr. chair. ms. juarez, i just wanted to state for the record that you did nothing wrong and you certainly did nothing to deserve this. seeking asylum is a human right, and you did what any mother or parent would have done for their child. you sacrificed everything for your safety and the safety of your baby. you left everything you knew for the chance of a better life. you said that you have a noble but weak heart. you underestimate your strength. and in this moment, you are embodying every american ideal that we espoused that we do, and i thank you for that. it is unfortunate that our country is no longer standing by its promise of being a beacon of hope and haven for those like you seeking asylum. instead, this administration has criminalized peoples and is now operating a fundamentally flawed system that is systemically separating families and engaging in human rights abuses on u.s. soil. so all i want to say to you from the bottom of my heart, as mom, as an american, and as a human being, is tha

ayanna pressley said if you are black you have to speak like a black person. if you are brown you have to speak like a brown person. if you want an immigration policy you can cite seize people's view and ask questions about where they are born and not have it be seen as racial. chris: can you say go back where you came from? >> the send her back chant, the president was clear he didn't agree with it. chris: he let it go on for 13 seconds and it was only when the chant diminished that he started talking again. he said nothing there or in his tweet after the rally that indicated any concern about the chant. >> i want to get to the core issue. the president was clear he disagreed with that tweet. the core issue is all the people in that audience and patriotic americans across country are tired of being beat up and talked down to by members of congress in congress' and the media. you saw the quotes from representative omar saying some people did something about 9/11. but if you watch it in context it's worse. you saw the quotes from representative omar saying we t

. >> omar and ayanna pressley, alexandria ocasio-cortez and rashida to leave those by birth called on republicans to speak out against the president's remarks. >> week mind challenge loyalty to our country in order to avoid challenging and debating the policy. >> senate majority leader mitch mcconnell and house minority leader kevin mccarthy's silent on trump's tweets and other republicans are not. >> it is distractive. it is dangerous. it is demeaning to fellow americans and that is simply wrong. >> many legitimate that go to congress, you should not use terminology like that. i don't know why the president had to say anything at all. when you argue with a fool, it just proves it too. >> the white house by pressing ahead with a strict asylum policy. the southern border of the united states would be required to seek asylum in one of the countries they first visited before crossing into the united states. central and south american house speaker nancy pelosi and members of the caucus have criticized the measure. there are already legal threats against this new policy mike. >> mike: dav

>> and congresswoman pressley joins us now. congresswoman, so you visited that facility in clint.tos that we're showing are from the facility in mcallen. do they match what you saw in clint? >> first, let me say i went to el paso, because this is an issue of consequence. the humanitarian crisis not only at the border, but this is an issue being felt throughout our country. the district that i represent, the massachusetts seventh, is 40% immigrant. the families i spent time with yesterday are from honduras, el salvador, guatemala, cuba. and every day with this administration, whether we're talking about mixed immigration status, policies from hud or military policies to separate families or the department of homeland security, every day they are working hard to criminalize immigrants and to separate them as families. and so this is why i went to the border. and what i saw has haunted me. it is unconscionable. and it is very sobering confirmation that the system is broken from a to z, soup to nut. it is corrupt, it is chaotic, it is calloused. i spent time with women, one in particu

congresswoman pressley said they did not want to take the bait but as you can tell they clearly wanted to lay out their feelings about the president, that they're certainly not hedging on or holding back in any way after the tweets and double down and triple down by the president over the course of the last 24 hours. >> you've been on capitol hill, phil, all day. what about the republicans, are they joining the president or are they pushing back? >> what's interesting, wolf, almost a day, a full day of silence from republicans, as republicans have started to return to capitol hill, to congress from their weekend back at home, statements coming in, saying that they found the president's remarks objectionable. some congresspeople saying they found them racist have started to grow. it's not the entire republican party. certain members are defending the president still at this point in time. more and more you're seeing republican senators, mitt romney, pat toomey, senators who don't usually weigh in on issues like this or individual tweets saying they found the remarks problematic. senator

alexandria ocasio-cortez, ilhan omar, ayanna pressley, and rashida tlaib.emocrats have told us that he is inherently racist to criticize these politicians given the way they look. the president clearly disagrees with that. we know because he's been attacking them still. just tonight in his speech in greenville. a year ago, these four women were almost completely unknown.g today they define the democratic party. their rise tells you a lot about where the left is heading. individually, each of the four members is weak, unaccomplished, uninformed, deeply unimpressive, and yet together as a group they are strong. their power derives from aup single word, "racist." they deploy that word like as a weapon at first sign ofce resistance every time. anyone who stands in their way is a racist. literally anyone, even the leader of their party. watch rashidaa tlaib explain to gayle king of cbs that nancy pelosi is a racist. why? because nancy pelosi doesn't agree with everything rashida tlaib says. watch. >> she is speaker of the house, she can ask for a meeting.wi a to

that's alexandria ocasio-cortez, anna pressley, omar, and a tschida talib. this resolution introduced by another freshman, representative malinowski, who is a white man unlike the four women

the other three congresswomen and alexandria ocasio-cortez and as well as ilhan omar and ayanna pressley, they did not comment because they said she wants to reserve what they would say until the press conference that we are waiting for. so expect strong remarks that differ greatly from what most republicans on capitol hill are saying. i got a chance to catch up with a number of republicans, particularly house republicans just moments ago and a lot of them tend -- to side with the president saying he's frustrated and they understand his concerns. even if -- as i pointed out exactly what was said in these tweets telling these women american citizens to go back home when their home is here in the united states, they still tend to defer to this president saying he's simply frustrated that the inaction over immigration. so you're seeing a significant split between the democrats and republicans but also a growing split between house and senate republicans, increasingly a number of senate republicans are pushing back against the president, raising concerns. joni ernst, republican, moments ago

ocasio-cortez, omar, tlaib and pressley.bed them this evening. >> these left-wing ideologues see our nation as a force of evil. the way they speak so badly of our country. they want to demolish our constitution, we can our military, eliminate the values that built this magnificent country. >> mike: senator, is that criticism fair? >> i think what is fair is criticism directed towards their beliefs that they need and support policies that fundamentally change this country. ideas that are rooted sometimes and socialism, sometimes very much against the free market, capitalism. i've heard comments by at least some of them that they believe are men and women who are trying to secure our borders are running concentration camps. that is not constructed for this country, it's simply not true either. we knew to support our men and women in law enforcement, support those who are trying to secure our border. we need to defend this country's capitalism and free market system and uphold the contribution to my constitution. what i continu
