Updated 5:59 p.m. | While Democrats were united in their condemnation of President Donald Trump’s call Sunday for four members of Congress to “go back” to “the crime infested countries from which they came,” Republicans on Monday were slow to publicly comment on the president’s tirade.

On the Republican side of the aisle, condemnations of Trump for calling four of their colleagues unworthy to serve in Congress because of their non-European heritage were slow to materialize. Even as conservative pundits decried the president’s targeting of four progressive lawmakers — Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Ayanna S. Pressley of Massachusetts and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan — as an ugly attack rooted in racism, not a political critique.

Trump has not apologized for the tweets, and by Monday afternoon had twice restated his view that their non-white ancestry should disqualify them from a life in American politics critiquing U.S. policies.

Asked by a reporter if it concerned him that white nationalists have found common cause with him on that point, Trump responded that “it doesn’t concern me because many people agree with me.”
