That's what Pelosi tried to tell them, and it started a fight.
Good thing Trump moved to help them make-up with each other.

Re: All Things Trump: Is it over yet?
Pelosi told the squad to tone it down, the squad (or a member or two) kept tweeting anyway, and was pissed. Trump jumped into the middle of that fracas, and they all turned on him, uniting under the banner of 'The Squad'.
Effectively raising the least popular flag the dems could have done. Most recognizable, least likeable and now the absolute FACE of the Dems.
I think it's so Trump doesn't have to face a strong opponent. It's a lot easier for him to win if he doesn't have to address Warren, Pelosi or that Tulsi lady (there are probably other good candidates, but no other strong candidates)
The squad is maybe a 'woke' lead for the Dems, but it isn't a strong one.

But Warren will use this event to her advantage. You only need to concentrate on what Trump said. He obviously is not the president for all Americans!

Thanking Donald Trump, former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke saidon Friday he will run as a candidate for the U.S. Senate from Louisiana.
In a video announcing his candidacy and posted on his website, Duke thanks Donald Trump for inspiring his run for the U.S. Senate:

Re: All Things Trump: Is it over yet?
Do you mean the part where he said something unacceptable? You do realize how everyone has been accepting it anyway, right?
Warren has a hope (as does Pelosi and Crenshaw if they can tempt him across the aisle) but as long as they keep the deluded socialist nut-cases out front, Trump has an easy job.
Do you think Warren the Pretend-ian will wrest control from the squad? Or will she don a feathered headdress and be the fifth member?

Trump won Tennessee in 2016 with 60% of the vote. The talking heads can yammer all they want about Trump's tweets and "the squad," but there might be trouble brewing in the heartland.
ICE officers came for a Tennessee man. His neighbors stepped in to stop them
ICE officers came for a Tennessee man. His neighbors stepped in to stop them
When US Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers tried to take a Tennessee man into custody, the man's neighbors say they stepped in to stop the arrest.
Videos posted on Facebook and shared by CNN affiliates show a standoff outside Nashville that witnesses said lasted for hours.
It started early Monday morning when ICE officers followed a man's van and tried to pull it over, CNN affiliates WTVF and WZTV reported. After the van's driver pulled into the driveway of a house in Hermitage, Tennessee, the officers blocked him in.
The man remained inside the vehicle and alerted local advocates and neighbors, the affiliates said. A crowd gathered, with witnesses recording the tense scene on their cell phones and bringing supplies to the parked vehicle. Neighbors told the CNN affiliates they brought gasoline to keep the van running and food and water for the man and his 12-year-old son, who were holed up inside.
"While there were immigrant advocate community members present, it was clear that a major thrust of the citizen response was being driven by the immediate neighbors of the man and child in the van. ... It was striking to watch neighbors deliver food, water, and gasoline to help their neighbor stay in his car," Nashville City Council Bob Mendes said in a statement describing what he watched unfold.
ICE officers eventually decided to leave "to de-escalate the situation," ICE spokesman Bryan Cox told CNN. Cox said he wouldn't say "who the agency's target or targets may have been so as to not compromise a potential future operation that would seek to arrest the individual at a different time and place."
After the ICE officers left, neighbors and advocates formed a human chain leading from the van to the house to protect the man and his son as they left the vehicle, according to Veronica Salcedo, a reporter with Nashville Noticias who witnessed the chain's formation and shared a live video of the standoff on Facebook. The neighbors formed the chain because they feared ICE would return, Salcedo said.
Salcedo's video shows members of the group counting to 10 in Spanish and telling the boy inside the van to run for cover. He dashes out of the vehicle and bystanders erupt in cheers.
The group later formed a chain again around the man and his son, who weren't identified to the media, allowing them to get from the house to a car and drive away.

Re: All Things Trump: Is it over yet?
Wow, that's impressive.
The latest fad is a poverty social. Every woman must wear calico,
and every man his old clothes. In addition each is fined 25 cents if
he or she does not have a patch on his or her clothing. If these
parties become a regular thing, says an exchange, won't there be
a good chance for newspaper men to shine?

In fact that's damned near restorative. Who do we thank?

The Dems are in favour of open borders, so this is unsurprising. Their use of language, such as 'concentration camps' and such almost guarantee sympathy.
For me, it's only roused more contempt for government, for seeing how they use the misery as a background for their campaigning.
But then again, I'm in favour of such a corrupt group of fuckers having less power. I think the Dems would vote themselves a lot more government.
