Beatty Statement on Trump’s Social Media Attack on Fellow Congresswomen

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Today, U.S. Congresswoman Joyce Beatty (OH-03) issued the following statement in reaction to President Donald J. Trump's ongoing and persistent attacks on Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY-14), Ilhan Omar (MN-05), Ayanna Pressley (MA-07), and Rashida Tlaib (MI-13):

"The president's tweet telling my four female colleagues to ‘go back' to the ‘places from which they come' is disgusting—and reminiscent of a time in our country's history when discrimination ruled. Hearing the hateful rhetoric coming out of the White House cannot be tolerated by anyone who claims to love this country. We are stronger as a country when we are united, so I implore all Americans—Democrats, Republicans, and Independents alike—to speak out against this vile, xenophobic, and dangerous attack on our fellow Americans."
