Looks like Democrats pulled the pin but forgot to throw the grenade...
Yeah, I know, we should always be suspicious of anonymous sources, but I'm not inclined to think that CNN would invent a story that makes the Democrats look bad. If anything, they're probably downplaying how much this fiasco actually hurt the party.
“The president won this one,” said an unnamed Democrat politician of President Donald Trump’s “showdown” with the Democrat “Squad” of Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), and Rashia Tlaib (D-MI), according to claims made by CNN’s Jake Tapper on Wednesday.
Trump’s implicit criticisms of Omar — describing the Somali immigrant-turned-politician as an America-hating antisemite — triggered a broad partisan Democrat coalescence around her and other “Justice Democrats” in the aforementioned squad. High unfavorability ratings among Ocasio-Cortez, Omar, Pressley, and Tlaib amounted to a political win for Trump, according to Tapper’s claims.
Trump also highlighted Ocasio-Cortez’s support for blocking a now-defunct Amazon proposal to build headquarters in New York City, NY.
Tapper took to Twitter to make his claims about discussions with four Democrat politicians he says spoke with him on condition of anonymity...

But their source is far from alone. A lot of folks on the right and center have already noticed.
