Republicans start whacking Trump for attacks on minority congresswomen
Some GOP lawmakers sought to criticize Trump while also avoiding blowback from the president.

After a day of silence, congressional Republicans began to harshly criticize President Donald Trump for demanding that liberal freshman congresswomen “go back” where they came from — with some GOP lawmakers decrying his comments as “racist” and calling for him to apologize and remove his tweets.

The pushback on Monday marked some of the strongest condemnations Trump's received from his party, which began with a trickle and then threatened to widen as Trump escalated his attacks in remarks to reporters. Several Republicans, like Rep. Mike Turner (R-Ohio), called Trump's comments "racist," a description rarely used against the president by members of the GOP.
