The Republican presidential nominee seemed to confuse the two congresswomen in his latest campaign rally in Minnesota.
During a campaign speech in St. Cloud, Minnesota, on Saturday, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump seemingly confused two Midwestern Democratic congresswomen of color, Representatives Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan.Both congresswomen, the first two Muslim women to serve in Congress, are founding members of 'The Squad,' an informal group of progressive House members formed in 2019.
Newsweek has reached out to Trump's spokesperson and Omar and Tlaib's press secretaries for comment via email on Sunday.In the days following the incident, Tlaib wrote in an opinion piece in The Detroit Free Press, 'I believe it is unbecoming of any American to not stand up to Trump's hate-filled rhetoric and tactics.'She recounted the incident as, 'I told Trump that 'our children deserve better' and I asked him to provide a better example to our kids.
