Trump under fire for ‘racist’ attack on US congresswomen 0 SHARES Share it! Trump — whose comments were branded “racist” and “xenophobic” by Democratic presidential candidates and senior legislators — last year reportedly referred to countries in Africa as “shithole” nations, and has spoken of an “invasion” of migrants. “Racism and xenophobia have no place in America,” tweeted former vice president Joe Biden, the frontrunner for the 2020 Democratic nomination. But on Sunday, she criticized Trump’s “attack.”“I reject @realDonaldTrump’s xenophobic comments meant to divide our nation,” she tweeted. Trump’s remarks, she said, reaffirmed “his plan to ‘Make America Great Again’ has always been about making America white again.”Senior Republican lawmakers were meanwhile notably silent on Trump’s comments.
