U.S. Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and Ayanna Pressley fired back at President Trump on Monday after he urged them to return to their home countries, fix them, and come back to the U.S.
It was too much for Omar, in particular, to handle and she is demanding Trump’s impeachment for his tweets.

“We can either continue to enable this president, and report on the bile of garbage that comes out of his mouth, or we can hold him accountable to his crimes,” Omar said late Monday afternoon.
“We can continue to turn a blind eye of the multiple crimes he’s accused of, we can stand as he violates these people’s basic human rights, and the responsibility— the responsibility that his administration has for the deaths of children on our border, or we can take action,” she said.
“I have not made impeachment central to my election or my tenure,” she continued, “but since the day I gotten elected, I said to people it will not be if he will be impeached, but when.
“So it is time for us to stop allowing this president to make a mockery out of our Constitution. It’s time for us to impeach this president,” Omar said.
Meanwhile, Pressley refused to refer to Trump as “President.”
“His cruel efforts to rile up his base have serious consequences on our collective safety and well-being,” Pressley said, referring to Trump as the “occupant of the White House.”
“We will not be dismissed and we will not be bullied by a Twitter thug.”
