By Scott Whitlock | July 18, 2019 1:38 PM EDT
CBS This Morning's Gayle King has settled the debate. The member of the so-called “Squad†of far-left Democratic congresswoman “love this country so much†and any statement otherwise is “simply not true.†The co-host/Democratic donor on Thursday declared, “Not one of them has ever said, ‘I hate America.’ Not one of them has ever said, 'I don't want to be here.’â€
Citing her own interview with Rashida Talib, Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ayanna Pressley, King insisted of “Squad†members (who have refused to condemn violent Antifa): “In fact, I would say they love this country so much. They spoke with such pride about being in Congress.†The co-host concluded, “So for [Trump] to say with a big microphone they hate this country, that just is simply not true. And it scares me that he's putting that narrative out there.â€
