During a speech at a Turning Point USA conference for conservative high school students in Washington, DC, on Tuesday, President Donald Trump continued to attack the four female members of Congress known as "the Squad."

Trump referred to Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib as a "crazed lunatic," as he repeated false smears about Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar.

"There is no way she stands for the values of the people of Michigan," Trump said of Tlaib.

The crowd of over a thousand teenagers ate up Trump's words and at one point began chanting, "One squad under God."
