Summary

When asked about the president's tweets, Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, told NBC10 Boston, "I certainly feel a number of these new members of Congress have views that are not consistent with my experience and not consistent with building a strong America."At the same time, I recognize that the president has a unique and noble calling to unite all Americans regardless of our creeds, or race, or place of our national origin and I think in that case, the president fell far short," he said, according to reporter Allison King. Instead of digging deeper into the mud with personal, vindictive insults –we must demand a higher standard of decorum and decency.Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, said in a statement that she strongly disagrees "with many of the views and comments of some of the far-left members of the House Democratic Caucus" but Trump's tweet "was way over the line, and he should take that down." Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., said in a statement that Trump was "wrong to suggest that four-left-wing congresswomen should go back to where they came from." Toomey said that he "couldn't disagree more" with the four lawmakers on "virtually every policy issue" but "they are entitled to their opinions, however misguided they may be. I urge our President immediately disavow his comments.A third Texas Republican, Rep. Chip Roy said Trump was "wrong to say any American citizen, whether in Congress or not, has any ‘home’ besides the U.S." POTUS was wrong to say any American citizen, whether in Congress or not, has any ‘home’ besides the U.S. We have too many challenges facing us...Rep. John Katko, R-N.Y., said Trump's tweets were "wrong" and that "criticism should focus on policy." The President’s tweets were wrong. I have vehemently criticized lawmakers on the far-left when I disagree with the direction in which they want to take the country – but criticism should focus on policy.Rep. Susan Brooks, R-Ind., said Trump's comments were "inappropriate and do not reflect American values." She called on all politicians to "raise their level of civility in order to address the serious issues facing our country." ALL of our elected officials need to raise their level of civility in order to address the serious issues facing our country. "I think the president believes that the more he can get the country to look at the so-called Squad, the more he can get them to realize how radical they are and how fundamentally un-American their views are, in the long-run the better off he is," Gingrich said on "Fox & Friends." Ocasio-Cortez said Republican lawmakers who did not comment on Trump's tweets were expressing tacit agreement with them. "But there are times when the President's comments are so vile and offensive that it is incumbent on Republicans to respond and condemn."This is one of those times."Trump: President says the House Democrats he insulted should apologize after his 'go back' tweets'This is what racism looks like': Congresswomen react to Trump's 'go back' tweetstorm'The Squad': These are the four congresswomen Trump told to 'go back' to other countriesI’ve often said that Republican elected officials can’t be expected to respond to every comment by the President.
