President Trump on Saturday delivered remarks at the Conservative Political Action Conference.
President Trump on Saturday went after U.S. Congress members during his Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) address.
"Right now, we have people in Congress that hate our country and you know that," Trump said. "We can name every one of them if they want. They hate our country."
"Sad. It's very sad when I see some of the things being made, the statements being made, it's very, very sad," Trump added.
"How did they do in their country? Just ask them how did they do? Did they do well? Were they succeeding? Just ask that question," he continued. "Somebody would say, oh, that's terrible that he brings that up, but that's okay. I don't mind. I'll bring it up. How did they do in their country? Not so good."
Time magazine notes: "This year, about 13% of congress members are foreign born or are the children of immigrants, according to Pew Research. In both chambers, 57 of the 68 legislators who are immigrants themselves or are the children of immigrants are Democrats."
