Trump's attack on minority Congresswomen

From Nine To Noon, 9:50 am on 16 July 2019

US correspondent Susan Milligan reports on President Donald Trump's direction to four minority, female members of Congress that they should "go back to where they came from" - places he described as "crime infested" and the "most corrupt" places on Earth. Is this a dog-whistle to white nationalists? And was the Veep's visit to a detainee shelter at the boarder wise? How does it play in conjunction with Trump's move to get a citizenship question on the census?
