And turned up absolutely nothing of note. Googling "what statements of the squad is Trump referring to".
I even took some Pepto Bismol and looked over some Fox News garbage. It was exactly that, namecalling, all the usual labels the radical right blasts "the left", "the liberals","socialists", "communists", "Sharia Law", "they hate America" (unflinchingly followed by how much the orange Twitler loves, loves, loves 'Murica).
Long articles, brutal criticisms slicing and dicing "some people did something" packaged in extensive screeds of confabulatory, dog-whistling rants, and mixing in some accusations of anti-semitism.
Don't bother,
The bulk of the articles condemning DT's racist rant are correct:
This is nothing but a distraction, mixed with fact-free attempts to rally the deplorable base.
