The four progressive congresswomen who are currently in a nasty feud with President Trump offered a not-so-subtle warning to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif, the next time she “singles them out.”

WATCH: The lawmakers targeted by Pres. Trump’s racist tweets had a message for @SpeakerPelosi: “Acknowledge the fact that we are women of color… be aware of that & what you’re doing… because some of us are getting death threats.” — Rep. @RashidaTlaib.
