Albright wrote that Trump is "is dividing our country and dehumanizing those with whom he disagrees. That is dangerous and wrong."

Her posts follow tweets by Trump Sunday in which he suggested that four progressive lawmakers — all women of color — "go back" to their countries, even though all are U.S. citizens and three were born in the U.S.

Albright, who served in the Clinton administration, called upon people from "every part of the political spectrum, to reclaim America’s proud heritage by saying no to division and hate."

As a refugee whose family fled Fascism and Communism, I learned early in life that there is much evil in this world. But I also learned early about a land across the sea where freedom was cherished and whose ideals inspired people all over the world. — Madeleine Albright (@madeleine) July 18, 2019

The time has come for all of us, from every part of the political spectrum, to reclaim America’s proud heritage by saying no to division and hate and by participating actively in our democracy on behalf of the common good. — Madeleine Albright (@madeleine) July 18, 2019

Today, we have a president who does not speak for us; we must, therefore, speak up for ourselves. — Madeleine Albright (@madeleine) July 18, 2019

The House on Tuesday night voted largely along partisan lines to condemn the tweets as racist.

Trump, however, has doubled down. At a campaign rally on Wednesday night, he again went after Omar.

"She looks down with contempt on the hard-working Americans, saying that ignorance is pervasive in many parts of this country,” Trump said.

The crowd then began to chant “send her back,” referring to Omar, who came to the U.S. as a refugee. Trump has since said he disagrees with the chant.
