    Congress has condemned Trump's remarks about the four congresswomen of color. The party line vote was 240 dems to 187 repubs. Four repubs voted to condemn. Word for word the words Trump spoke were not racist -- his words could also be applied to any white group. That's a fact. But because the women were brown or black, had an accent, or dressed a certain way, many people, along with the media, seized the opportunity to apply the racist label to Trump. Well the four congresswomen have now gained an invisible racist shield against any criticism. Make no mistake they are on record as being pro Antifa, anti-Israel, anti-USA, open borders, and racist. Now that the dems have thrown up this racist shield watch the actions and words of these four as they become more of an activist against the USA. No one will ever criticize them again even if they disagree with them -- except our fearless leader President Trump. And the media will put all four on a pedestal just to hurt Trump. You might be a racist if you disagree with the Hit Squad.

    The Dems were right: Trump's attack is on women of color telling them to go where they came from, when in fact three of the four were born in the US.

    It was clearly racist, misogynistic, and ethnocentric by Trump.

    The only way to be racist these days is just to disagree with the left. It is a vile and disgusting way to try and shut down any discussion over real issues.

    These 4 women are America hating scumbags. They should just leave America.

    Let’s get past whether his remarks we’re racist or not. We can debate that ad nauseam. What is being overlooked is that the Presidents need to go on a tirade showed his lack of political acumen. The squad and the Speaker were at loggerheads. By firing off this tweet he United a Democratic Party that was infighting.

    Not nearly to the extent as will the GOP when it realizes Trump is dragging the Republican Party into the abyss.

    If Trump divorced Malania and then told her to "go back to the country you came from" would that make him a racist?

    At least quote him correctly. He told the two white women and two women of color to go fix the places they came from. They or their families escaped their origins to enjoy liberty in a great place. If the US is so bad, why are they here? Do they want us to suffer the genocide of socialism?

    I'm glad they called Pelosi a racist. Being a Democrat, the party of slavery, segregation and the KKK, Pelosi is better prepared to act out the racist role than anyone in the party of Lincoln.

    You're wrong. The Republican party did not make Trump, the people put Trump in office and they are standing behind him because he was right to stand up to the Hit Squad.

    About 45% not the American people. The American people overwhelmingly put the Dems in power in the House and will continue to do so next year with the Senate and the WH.

    Do facts matter when attacking Trump?

    Dems see everyone as one color or another. Racism has always been the foundation of the democrat party.

    The fact is that Trump attacked women of color telling them to go where they came from.

    Yeah, America recognizes it was misogynistic, ethnocentric, and racist.

    Real American from the responsible right to the responsible left allow the racists from the far right misdefine racism.

    French people whose ancestors had been in Algeria were told to go back where (their ancestors) came from, and encouraged to do so by very direct means.
    This is the normal fate of ethnic and religious minorities in the Third World, whether or not they are 'colonialists' or not.

    The reality is, most people are ethnocentric. The United States has -- through force of historical circumstance, not through some inherent angelic virtue -- tried to blend together ethnic groups, and transcend ethnocentrism by American patriotism. The Left is working hard to unwind this progress, and Omar is definitely part of that. They're using the best part of America against it.

    Trump's statement is a huge victory for them. What a deeply stupid, self-centred person this loathesome creature is. What a tragedy for America and the world that he has managed to use the misleadership of the Republican Party to get his current position.

    Sure. :roll: These poor women of color were singled out because of their race and gender. Not because of their contempt for America, anti-semitism, or sympathy towards terrorist regimes.

    They were singled out because of their race and color, which added to his mustard on calling them out because they went "boo" on him.

    Not really. The idea of “going back to where you came from” only makes sense in relation to people associated with being foreign (even wrongly). That could be logically (though equally unfairly) applied to some white Americans, but significantly Trump doesn’t use the same rhetoric against any of many the white Americans who have criticised him, not even the ones who have non-American backgrounds, even from countries Trump has attacked in the past.

    Quite possibly, but Trump didn’t even try to address any of that. The tweets in question simply suggested that they shouldn’t make any comment about “how the government should be run” until after they’ve gone “back” to other countries and fixed them. He wasn’t saying their comments were wrong, he was saying they don’t have the standing to make them at all.

    Only if you’re an idiot! You can criticise what they say and do in exactly the same way you can with any of member of Congress or indeed the same way you can with Trump. There’s no need to make irrelevant reference to their backgrounds, simply address their words in exactly the same way you would if anyone else said them.
