That the administration is using as it heads into the 2020 cycle. >> abigail, you wrote at length about this squad, the so-called squad saying they are not mont monolithic. why is the president targeting these women out of that squad. >> the president has in the last couple of days heightened his attacks on tlaib and omar in particular and one of the main reasons my reporting has found is that he really views them as sort of, you know, the best foil for him. they look at viewing them as the most...
