Data collected by Ayesha Rascoe/NPR and Daniel Wood/NPR. As the House Democrats' impeachment inquiry continues and the president’s own reelection efforts gather speed, an NPR analysis shows that Trump's broadsides against Democrats in Congress have intensified since July. And his language about nonwhite lawmakers has also grown more heated . As of Oct. 4, Trump had tweeted more than 700 times about sitting members of Congress. He kicked off his tweetstorm in mid-July with a Twitter thread that embraced racist tropes, urging members of the "squad" — all women of color — to "go back" to the "totally broken and crime infested places from which they came." Other lawmakers who regularly criticize Trump, like former presidential candidate Eric Swalwell, barely get a mention in the president's Twitter feed. The same is true for senators and presidential candidates Kamala Harris and Cory Booker. "The president chooses his targets pretty carefully but he doesn't always choose them for the same reason," said Brian Ott, a communications professor at Texas Tech University and co-author of The Twitter Presidency.
