The storm of criticism surrounding President Trump’s incendary Sunday morning “go home” tweets grew louder Monday as a crucial moderate Republican senator, Maine’s Susan Collins, blasted the social media barrage as “way over the line.”

“I disagree strongly with many of the views and comments of some of the far-left members of the House Democratic Caucus — especially when it comes to their views on socialism, their anti-Semitic rhetoric, and their negative comments about law enforcement — but the President’s tweet that some Members of Congress should go back to the ‘places from which they came’ was way over the line, and he should take it down,” the longtime lawmaker said in a statement.

Collins’ response adds to the firestorm that erupted in the aftermath of Trump’s tweets, which longtime political observers and commentators roundly condemned and Democrats labeled racist.

”So interesting to see ’Progressive’ Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run,” wrote Trump. “Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how it is done.”

He added: “These places need your help badly, you can’t leave fast enough. I’m sure that Nancy Pelosi would be very happy to quickly work out free travel arrangements!”

The tweets apparently were meant to highlight the growing divide between four liberal freshman Democratic lawmakers — including New York’s Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — and the party’s leadership in the House, including Speaker Pelosi.

However, Democrats quickly rallied in defense of the freshman firebrands after Trump’s incendiary statement and commentators quickly pointed out the factual inaccuracies in the tweets.

For instance, only one of the four — Rep. Ilhan Omar — is foreign-born.

She was born in Somalia and immigrated to the US as a child. Ocasio-Cortez was born in the Bronx, Rep. Rashida Tlaib was born in Detroit and Rep. Ayanna Pressley was born in Cincinnati.

“You are angry because you can’t conceive of an America that includes us. You rely on a frightened America for your plunder,” Ocasio-Cortez fired back on Sunday. “You won’t accept a nation that sees healthcare as a right or education as a #1 priority, especially where we’re the ones fighting for it. Yet here we are.”
