We have no doubt that “The Squad” thought holding a press conference to hit back at Donald Trump over his controversial (at best) remarks would restore their credibility.
There's like a zero percent chance that this press conference from "The Squad" coming up later today could create some bad news for the Democratic Party. Zero percent chance that anyone flies off the handle.

Yep! Zero percent:

Hilarious how Pressley came out first and said no one should take the bait….then her fellow "squad" members do just that

They took it and ran with it.
Collusion! Drink!

Ilhan Omar right now is repeating a slew of debunked talking points, so watch the media run with them as fact all over again.

In addition to running with debunked narratives, Ilhan Omar — and her anti-Semitic soul sister Rashida Tlaib — also reiterated their support for impeachment:

The Squad using a presser to call for impeachment is everything that Trump needs, and everything Pelosi doesn’t.

Pelosi: Don't tweet
Squad: <Holds nationally covered presser to call for impeachment of Trump (among other things)>

This is probably where the Democratic civil war will resume: the progressive wing will call for Trump’s impeachment, and Pelosi and establishment Dems will sit on their hands. Right back to square one. https://t.co/CcbcwwHhTD

So AOC and the JV Squad fight with Pelosi. Trump jumps into the fight to bigfoot the fight with a xenophobic take. So AOC and the JV Squad immediately call for impeachment…which leads them back into a fight with Pelosi. Glad we're all on this spin cycle of stupid.

Sucks to be us. But it sucks harder to be a Democrat.

Does this count as an “inkind contribution” to Trump 2020?

NARRATOR: They took the bait.
Trump sends up these racist flags simply to get people angry. And of course…they have a good reason to be angry.
But in the end, trolling wins when you get angry by their trolling. https://t.co/WtoODnKWox
