Rep Elijah Cumming took to Twitter to give a statement on Trump's racist and xenophobic tweet in which he told Congresswoman, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.; Ilhan Omar, D-Minn.; Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass.; and Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich to go back 'where they came from'.
Read his tweet below:
Mr. President, it is beneath the office of the presidency to tell Members of Congress to “go back” to their countries.

These xenophobic comments will only divide our nation.
America has always been at its best when we understand that diversity is our promise—not our problem. https://t.co/sbs15ciNt8
