" but I see it as racist"

Did he even mention race?

I could call THEM racist because they said something "insensitive " about a WHITE man.

If whites CAN'T talk about what non whites say, the non-whites CANNOT talk about what whites say!

It is THAT simple!

AOC is Puerto Rican is NOT a race.

Being from Samolia, is NOT a race.

He was talking about ALL 4 0f them and only 2 are colored.

Au contraire, one doesn't have to actually do or say anything "racist" to be accused of such.

Everything Is Racism | Hire a civil rights lawyer. You're a victim of racism.

You're right, but not in a way that you will like.

Including the 'come back' part or not is irrelevant.

Trump still told three natural born United States citizens to "go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how it's done. These places need your help badly, you can't leave fast enough", and it is impossible to twist that. They didn't come from anywhere else. They come from the United States.

I wonder how Brazilians view their horrific history of slavery and their being the last country in the world to abolish it.

" That brings an unfortunate truth that everyone knows."


Another claim by those who DON'T KNOW everyone in the world but, THINKS they can tell everybody else what they think!


And WE are the UN-educated!

And backing it up, not with truth or even evidence, but with the standard "justification" ("everyone knows....") that has been used by the Soviet Union's "Pravda" state newspaper for decades in lieu of fact.

And still the leftist fanatics are 0-for-everything on discussing Trump's major point.

Who can blame them?
Divine? He said it. It’s racist. Plus many of your ilk like it. Keep hate alive!

As a moderate I'm begging for Trump to be OUR freaking president. Is that really so hard? It doesn't matter what the left says to the president he's the freaking POTUS he's the one elected politician who's allegiance is to every single American. He should rise above all the bickering and lead Americans in the direction through moral leadership not stoop below them. Can you please tell me that the president shouldn't be above all of this, and be held to the highest standard. After all he's the commander in chief, and his behavior is frankly abhorrent to our troops currently serving. He's perpetuating everything the military and I'm sure other government agencies preach against. It's a god damn shame, and all that make excuses for this behavior are a god damn shame as well!!

Honestly, I don't care what member of Congress condems or celebrates him ... the bulk of politicians only care about their own self preservation. We will never know, in most cases, what a politician really thinks about any number of issues ...

I only care what I think about Trump's tweets. And while I wish he'd shut the heck up 1/2 the time, what he said wasn't racist. He says crappy things about everyone - black, white, brown, straight, gay, right, left ... throw a punch his way and he'll punch back harder.
