Trump asks female deputies who attacked them to "apologize to America"

US President Donald Trump on Sunday renewed his offensive against four female Democrats after last week´s attacks, calling it "racism" and asking them to apologize for "the terrible things we said."

"I do not think the four female deputies are able to love our country," he wrote in a tweet, referring to Alexandria Ocazio Cortez, Elhan Omar, Ayana Presley and Rachida Tlaib (Michigan), all minorities.

"They have to apologize to America (and Israel) for the terrible things we said, they are destroying the Democratic Party, but they are weak women and lack self-confidence and can never destroy our great nation."

The four women are Hispanic, Arab, Somali and American-African, and three of them are born in the United States.

The tweets came a week after Trump provoked a storm of anger when they attacked female deputies in a series of tweets and called for them to "return" to their home countries.

In a rare move, the Democratic-dominated House of Representatives rebuked Trump on Tuesday for his "racist remarks" against female deputies known as the "band."

The following day, a crowd at a Greenwich rally in North Carolina (I repeat the North) chanted "Bring them back to their country" while attacking women deputies again.

He described thousands of his supporters in the assembly, Elhan Omar and other Democrats as "leftists consider our nation the power of evil."
