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.
Lmao. You need to see a chiropractor after all that twisting.

I imagine your post history shows a bunch of pro-Trump or at the very least anti-Democrat posts. How can any person think the tweet wasn't racist? Well unless you are a Trump supporter that is...

The real reason the left is making this such a big deal is to incite more violence by their unhinged supporters against the silent majority.


When there is some tragic violence perpetrated by a left wing maniac in the next few weeks, we know who to blame. It's coming.

Trump cares nothing about words or what people think, they mean nothing to him. He's spend over a $100 million on golf, he's still laughing.

It just doesn't matter anymore.
Of course it matters. Because people keep coming out of the woodwork to deny the word "racist". You could ignore it, but you dont, you keep posting about it because it works. Otherwise there wouldnt be 10 threads about it.

Nice try, though.
Was he wrong? Omar came here from Somalia. An immigrant who was elected to congress. Yet she slanders the nation almost daily with the race card. Maybe she should take a trip back to where she came from to gain some perspective?

I would love to see Omar debate Ayaan Hirsi Ali. They came from the same country and yet have completely different views.

President Trump used a longstanding slur against African Americans and other minorities. The ‘go back’ trope is deeply rooted in the history of racism in the United States. Racist is the proper term to apply to the language he used Sunday.

Which might be valid if he was only talking about AOC (and Omar because she's the one not born in the U.S.)....but he wasn't. He was also talking about Talib and Pressley.

McCarthy claimed the statement had nothing to do with race, just ideology.
ALso he was complaining about all the things that were wrong with the country the last two years. WHy doesnt he leave it if he doesnt love it? Of course his BS rhetoric only works if he tries to convince people that US congresswomen did all that work getting to Washington to "Hate" the country, he can never say they were in it to make improvements, otherwise he would have nothing to say.
He is a hate monger, and all he does is spew the nonsense that his twitter followers say. He cant even come up with his own words.

If people really believed this, they should do something about it, right? Like riot or attack someone wearing a MAGA hat?
