It all started with rapper Waka Flocka Flame.
USA TODAYPresident Donald Trump has been on a days-long Twitter tirade about four freshman congresswomen of color called the"Squad." And while Trump's a fan of nicknames, he didn't come up with this one. Instead, the congresswomen gave it to themselves.
“Someone said, ‘Oh you should do a hashtag or something #squadgoals’ and then it morphed into this thing,” Pressley told CBS in an interview last week.It's not just 'Rocket Man':What started as a simple photo caption has grown into a broader talking point for the four congresswomen. "I can tell you, you are all the squad, trust me. If you support equity, you support justice, you are one of us," she said. "The Squad is all of you."Last week, Rep. Bill Pascrell asked to be part of the"Squad" by responding to a tweet from satirical news site The Onion, which posted an article entitled"82-Year-Old New Jersey Congressman Bill Pascrell Quietly Asks Ilhan Omar If He Can Be Part Of The Squad.
The hashtag began to gain traction on social media in 2015, when Taylor Swift popularized the slogan during her world tour that year.Many Americans have never heard of the 'the Squad'
