Though a growing number of Republicans have criticized Trump's statements, only a few have used the word "racist."

“The president's tweets were shameful, they were racist and ... they bring a tremendous amount of, sort of, disgrace to public policy and public life and I condemn them all,” Baker said at an event Monday, according to WBUR.

Trump wrote that they should "go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came."

Baker, who enjoys some of the best approval ratings of any governor in the traditionally liberal state, has frequently criticized Trump and says he left his ballot blank in 2016 rather than vote for him.

After multiple denunciations of the tweets as racist by fellow Democrats and mixed responses from congressional Republicans, the four congresswomen gave a press conference Monday afternoon in which they fired back at Trump.
