WASHINGTON _ Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell was silent Monday as President Donald Trump continued to assail four women members of Congress he tweeted should "go back" to the countries they came from.
Three of the four women whom Trump was apparently targeting were born in the United States and are all four are U.S. citizens.
Asked for reaction, Robert Steurer, a spokesman for the Kentucky Republican, said Monday that "If the leader comments, we'll make sure you get it." McConnell traditionally speaks at the start of each Senate session. The Senate is to convene Monday at 3 p.m. EDT.
