Pres. Trump's 'go back' attack on congresswomen of color is an age-old trope, one that has been referred to in numerous court cases brought by the government over the past decade as a textbook definition of illegal harassment in the workplace.

That was the insult that Ebrima Jallow said he heard repeatedly from his supervisor and fellow co-workers while working at the Walmart in Landover Hills, Maryland.

Following a nearly two-year court battle, Jallow was paid $75,000 in damages from Walmart, and in a settlement the company committed to providing anti-discrimination and harassment training to employees. ....and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run. Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how....

"Just his statements alone, would be really strong evidence of a hostile work environment that he treats employees who are not white differently than he would treat white employees," Bachman added. Below are just a few examples of cases that the EEOC has pursued in the last 15 years in which alleged harassment from employees mirrored the language from the president's tweets. Except where identified, the cases primarily resulted in settlements where the companies were not compelled to admit to any wrongdoing.

The Nevada U-Haul company settled the case for $153,000 and agreed to provide discrimination prevention training to its employees.

How about we vote for criminal libel charges against Trump..? He blatantly called native born American legislators, foreigners.

Stop being politically correct and tell it like it is...we want people in this country who are for the American values, not trying to destroy them. Be an American and fight for our values or go back to where you came from is not a racist comment.

Now do KamalaHarris 🙄

Distorting what President Trump says in order to promote their divisive propaganda, lies and Trump-hate is what Democrat politicians, activists and left-media propagandists have been doing since President Trump beat the leftwing’s queen Hillary. It’s neither new nor credible.

'go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested PLACES [not countries] from which they came. Then come back and show us how it is done. These PLACES need your help badly' No reference to color; race, gender, citizenship, age, or religion, etc.

Guess Trump can counter sue for their harassments as well.

I see that you're already moving away from the 'racist 'nonsense and are now trying for a different angle, in the hope that it might work this time. Pathetic. TrumpDerangementSyndrome

He’s part of the Executive Branch, they are the Legislative Branch. Two separate and distinct entities. They don’t even work in the same building, so, “go back” ABC News!

Trump never said “women of color “ that term is fake news invention !!!

Riiiiight

OK, there's your ticket. The four congresswomen should sue Trump in the Northern District Of New York for illegal harassment in the workplace. DO IT! TrumpIsHarrasser

This report is a lie. TerryMoran and ABC are pushing a dumbed down narrative. Oh, and typical of their agenda, they leave out the '... then come back...' half of Trump's tweet. This is activist 'journalism' at its most cynical. DavidMuir

Trashing America is harassment Trump is correct about the SQUAD

drumpf thinks hes above the law...what a sad delusion

Once these four thugs from Liverpool told my friend JoJo ,the man who thought he was a woman , to “get back to where he once belonged “ they were applauded

Elections are around the corner, that’s how won the election what do you expect..haha don’t let this guy get to you

Sit down please lol. U guys are ignorant.

Trump’s racist blah blah blah. He’s going to win soooo big.

BS

To those same cases also include the phrase 'Then come back' ?

Thank you ABC for exposing this.

ABC once again you tell your lies to hate on America. Trump simply said if you hate this country leave. I think maybe it's time you leave because of your hatred of America

Now do Harris...

Of course, and in any regulated workplace it will meet the definition for gross misconduct and dismissal.

This is what realDonaldTrump says to immigrants, working at his places.

ABC News peddles conspiracy theory that Trump’s tweet was racist, despite the context and clarifications.

nope
