Labor MP Peter Khalil has slammed US President Donald Trump for his attack on four congresswomen, describing his tweets as 'deeply offensive' and 'a racist trope'. Mr Khalil told Sky News the remark 'go back to where you came from’ is 'something I’ve heard growing up as well many, many times'. 'It’s beneath the office of the President to use race to divide Americans and for political purposes,' he says. 'What's really disturbing is the way the polarisation of politics in the US is getting worse. We've seen some of it here in Australia unfortunately and we hope that doesn't spread further.' Mr Khalil also criticised the 'all too quiet' Prime Minister Scott Morrison for 'not standing up' on international issues around 'democratic freedoms'. Image: AP
