In their first interview since President Trump's racist "go back" tweets, Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.), and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), spoke with CBS' Gayle King about the president's attacks. They also discussed their reported feud with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), which was sparked by a voting split on a border funding bill.

King asked Ocasio-Cortez if she would be willing to sit down with Pelosi "face-to-face" to air out their differences and find a resolution. That's when Tlaib cut in and let Pelosi have it.
