Trump slams progressive congresswomen at fiery North Carolina 'MAGA' rally

(FOX) - President Trump, at a fiery "Make America Great Again" campaign rally Wednesday night in Greenville, North Carolina, blasted four progressive congresswomen, Reps. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan,Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New YorkandAyanna Pressley of Massachusetts, with whom he continues to spar after an ongoing feud over comments he made against them that critics deemed "racist."

"Let 'em leave... they're always telling us how to run it, how to do this, how to do that. You know what? If they don't love it, tell 'em to leave it," Trump said of the congresswomen, doubling down on similar comments he made on Twitterearlier in the week.

Trump slammed Omar on Wednesday saying she "smeared U.S. service members in 'Black Hawk Down.' She slandered the brave Americans trying to keep peace in Somalia," a dig at her Somali-American heritage.

Trump also said Omar blamed America for the economic crisis in Venezuela and refused to condemn Al Qaeda.

Trump then moved on to his critic of Tlaib, saying she "used the F-word to describe the presidency and your president."

"That's not nice, even for me," Trump said. "That's not somebody who loves our country."

At the top of his remarks Wednesday night, Trump celebrated the House's decision to shelve impeachment proceedings against him.

"I just heard that the United States House of Representatives has overwhelmingly voted to kill the most ridiculous project I ever worked on," Trump said, referring to an impeachment resolution proposed by Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, that was widely opposed by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and other top Democrats.

"The resolution-- how stupid is that-- on impeachment."

Trump called the 332-95 vote to sideline the impeachment resolution Wednesday "totally lopsided" and instead touted the strong economy and low unemployment numbers under his administration.
