Full Video of the 'Squad' Press Conference In Response To President Donald Trump's Racist Attacks

Representatives Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.), Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) respond to President Trump saying they should “go back” to the counties they came from.

Just those 4 represent more people than live in each of 15 states (and possibly 18 depending on the next census), and larger than the bottom 4 states combined.

Did these women come up with it?

IMO, I think it sounds like a name for a high school clique. Maybe they should try to ditch it. It’s an unserious label.

At least this nickname isn’t patently ridiculous or cringe-worthy like “The Young Turks”.
