Because the "Squad" is a Fox News construct created to give a brown face to Trump's enemies.

Hispanic is a culture(Spanish speaking country of origin), not a race. You can be any color and be hispanic

Do you just assume there are no black or white people in Mexico/Central America and that they are all brown skinned ?????????

The Poor Me Squad is a group of POLTIICIANS. Totally different dynamic from the Tea Party, but you have to create a Strawman to deflect, and continue your dishonesty, don't you?
And just yesterday everyone was banging on one of them for being a grass roots activist at a Trump rally. You guys need to have a huddle, decide which lies you're going with, and stick to the story.


I'm not really a fan of the squad, but I support their earned right to propose whatever they want, and I reject the racist attacks on them by our POTUS and his base. The only reason I speak up at all is because I'm afraid (yes afraid) to remain silent. Silence and ambivalence did not end well 80+ years ago, and I won't be part of it now.

Yes, I’m well aware of that.

AOC’s ethnicity is Hispanic. Her race is Caucasoid. That makes her white by every racial standard in place today. So why does she suddenly become a “POC” when it’s vital to create racial division? Same with Tlaib. She is also Caucasian - white.

Omar and Pressley are black - their race is Negroid. They are “people of color”.

Are we now bending racial lines to allow anybody with tan skin to call themselves a “person of color?” Because I’m ethnically Hawaiian, darker than AOC or Tlaib, but correctly identify myself as white, because I’m not a Negroid or a Mongoloid. My husband is a Jew - so if Tlaib is a “POC” I guess he is now, too?

This racial animus has grown beyond retarded.

There were NO racist attacks on the Squad. NONE. They are opportunist LIARS. That's all.

There were racist statements by the president, I don't know why this small group of freshman women sets people off. None of their more radical proposals will see the light of day in the house and a cure for cancer couldn't get through the senate, so why the obsession.

so why the obsession.

This is what the democratic party machine has done from the first day President Donald Trump stepped into office and
has been relentless ever since. I am proud that we have an American that will shutdown any one regardless of race color
or creed that uses any public platform to mock our country while Democrats play the woman/race card............Foolish ....dems.


President Donald Trump 2020.......woo......hoo............

Yep. They're "White" when they need to be. "Black", "Asian" or "Hispanic" when they need to be.

Whatever fits the moment in time that they need to delude their minions.
