House to vote on resolution condemning Trump tweets decried as racist
Tweeting from the White House earlier Monday, Trump employed a tactic he has used before: accusing his opponents of the same transgressions for which they have criticized him. (A Hitler tactic)
“When will the Radical Left Congresswomen apologize to our Country, the people of Israel and even to the Office of the President, for the foul language they have used, and the terrible things they have said,” Trump wrote. “So many people are angry at them & their horrible & disgusting actions!” He later criticized Democrats for coming to the defense of the congresswomen, who he claimed had shown “racist hatred” in their speech and are “very unpopular & unrepresentative.”
Ocasio-Cortez went on Twitter to denounce Trump shortly after his latest posts.
“It’s important to note that the President’s words today, telling four American Congresswomen of color ‘go back to your own country,’ is hallmark language of white supremacists,” she wrote. “Trump feels comfortable leading the GOP into outright racism, and that should concern all Americans.”
“So interesting to see ‘Progressive’ Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run,” Trump tweeted.
“Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came,” Trump added. “Then come back and show us how it is done.”
Pressley was born in Cincinnati, Tlaib was born in Detroit, and Ocasio-Cortez was born in New York. Omar was born in Mogadishu, Somalia; her family fled the country amid civil war when she was a child, and she became a U.S. citizen as a teenager.

Personally, I do not care too much either way. God is in control. I will not vote for a Democrat candidate (I am a Christian opposed first and foremost to abortion) but this does not mean that I will vote for the Republican Party either. That said, I can work with stupid more than I can work with evil. -

I Believe Bush 43 was the most dishonest President in our history. -
The last tweet by President Trump was a bit too far from accurate. I think he acts off the cuff a bit too much. But I suppose he knows the game. -
Bush straight up lied and lied continually about the Iraq war. He knew his Intel was old. He knew it was so old it was most likely not accurate. The entire nation building thing was the apex. Money pouring hand over fist into his friends companies and the associates of Cheney.
You really think any Skull and Bones member is moral and honest? -
Insofar as the Skull and Bones thing, that was when he was in college. I don't put much stock into it....but I liked the movie :D . -
There was varying intelligence. He ignored what he didn't like. Many have stated they were pressured to deliver what he wanted. Mossad had told him before the strike began that the WMD had been moved out of Iraq.
Follow the massive profits.
CIA should have assassinated Hussein and replaced him with their General. -
Perhaps it was for profit....I don't see how that was supposed to work out but maybe. -

Trump Tweets are right and not racist. Libs try to turn everything into racism because it is an emotion raiser.

did some American president do something?
Racist racist racist. Trump has his desired response. He WANTS to keep this in the news, know why?:

Pelosi is now having to defend them and they're front and center. Last week, that idiot Omar called Nancy a "racist", Pelosi needs to get a handle on this before the squad destroys them. -

Trump was right. Those women, if they don't like it here, if they despise the US as much as they claim they do, should just leave the US and find some place else to live. We really have no use for them.
Trump is being condemned for racism, but his statements had nothing to do with the color of their skin, but rather the content of their character.
We have 4 sitting congresswomen who hate America, who use their office to seed contempt for the US.
If a white person born in Norway were a sitting member of Congress and breeding hate for the US the way these women were, I would say the same thing: Go back to Norway.
The media is making this about race, but president said nothing that was inherently racist.
What we have in our culture today is an environment where no "person of color" can be criticized on any level, or held accountable for anything they say or do on the grounds that to do so, is "racist." In doing so, they have made REAL racism, meaningless.
They can call the president every name in the book, and it is applauded. They can call for the president's assassination, and no one says anything. The president has been unfairly vilified for things that he has never been a part of, associated with and/or has never actually said. They say the most vile things they can think of, about his children. They have accused the president of incest with his daughter. But that is okay, their book.
Hating white people and hating Jews have become socially acceptable racism. They operate from a double standard. In our society today, racism is a one-way street. Racism only flows in one direction. What's more the definition of what constitutes racism is fluid and capricious.
And the Democrats, starting back in the Obama years, have erected a very broad definition of racism which makes it impossible to publicly disagree with any policy that a "person of color" holds to. If you disagree, you are racist. That's how they shut down conversation and freedom of speech.
The president was not saying a word about skin color. He was addressing the vitriol that these sitting congresswomen hold for the United States. They villify the US, they support terrorist organizations that are enemies of the United States, which is the textbook definition of Treason. They support the crime of Sedition in order to overthrow a sitting US Administration. They should be removed from Congress; they are not morally fit to serve.
The president is 100% correct in calling for them to leave the country. I would not want to be a citizen of a country I hate if I hated it as much as they hate the United States.

And Trump is right. If they don't like it here, if they hate the US so much, they should move to country more to their liking. -

The President was spot on with his tweets. I personally don't see anything wrong with them. I don't think that about all of his tweets, but this time, he was right.
