The so-called squad is a leftist sextet of pro-BLM, pro-socialism Democrats in the House of Representatives that includes Bush, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, Jamaal Bowman of New York, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota.

What’s more annoying is that these parasitic moonbats continue to live in the United States despite deriding it every day as unfair and racist.

There are entire continents where whites are not the majority population. Why not move there?

If America is such an unjust, racist hellhole, why do thousands of brown and black people risk their lives every day to illegally sneak into the country?
