Trump proves he�s a racist.

[Bill the Cat]

Exactly. Maybe those of you on TWEB making hourly use of ad hominem as a substitute for argument cant quite see it, but Trump and the country itself has plenty to consider there. But by attacking them and their ethnicity, the real problem with thes congressman is completely lost and whatever negative response might exist to those policies is even reversed.

In this case, Trumps attacks on these congresswomen has given them a pass on their bad policies by shifting focus away from their bad policies and onto Trump's racism.

I thoroughly disagree. The "squad" has drawn attention to themselves, and their popularity with independents is atrocious. If it comes down to Trump vs the "squad", Trump wins every time.

[oxmixmudd]

He didn't attack their ethnicity.

Yes, he did, and you are simply barking out nonsense because you know that's what he did and you don't have a leg to stand on.

Telling them to go back to where they came from and fix those same crime infested countries, when these are American citizens, is an attack on their ethnicity.

Or do you not understand what the word ethnicity means?

Ethnicity: the fact or state of belonging to a social group that has a common national or cultural tradition.

No it's not.

[oxmixmudd]

Denial is apparently all you have, snd so now you are just trolling. Clearly you will deny this as well (or not just to spite my prediction), either way, you have nothing of substance left to say.

The thing is that Trumps remarks were racist and the words of a white nationalist authoritarian disdainer of democracy. In a democracy we don't tell people who dissent to leave the country.

First ethnicity is not race, so it is not racist by your own definition. If Trump had said this about a US citizen of Russian heritage I doubt that you would have objected. Selective outrage.

And to help put things in perspective, here is what the left is defending:

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY)
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN)Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI)Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA)https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2...-squad-so-far/

Of course when Trump reasonably points out how vile and anti-American these sentiments are, he's blasted as a racist.

[Darth Executor]

He is allowed to criticize their policies. Heck, he's allowed, legally, to make racist remarks. But then, so are we allowed to criticize him for making them.

But to the point, had he stayed with criticising their policicies instead of attacking their ethnicity, we would be having a very different conversation.

Jim

It's an attack on them, not their ethnicity. Saying someone (who is obviously not loyal to America) is loyal to a foreign nation is not an "attack on ethnicity" except to idiots who hate thinking.

He didn't say it about 4 white Europeans though did he. That's not something that Trump does seer, but he does attack people of color all the time starting with his birtherism charade against Obama, which I'm sure you all defended as well.

Yeah, is that right? I haven't heard Trump attack any of the white members of congress, (telling them to go back to Europe) for having policy differences with him yet have you?

[RumTumTugger]

Donald Trump sees his tweets as a laser pen, and the Democrats as cats.

ooh an new meme in the making wish I could do one.

I haven't seen any white members of Congress say hateful things about Israel, Jewish people, or claiming that the US runs concentration camps, have you?

[Darth Executor]

I haven't heard Trump attack non-white members of congress for that either Jim, we can finish this conversation when you stop beating your wife.

Trump is not being criticised for criticizing their policies, he is being criticized for a hitorically racist/anti-immigration reference aimed at them.

Attacking the person in politics is sometimes easier than showing what is wrong with their policies, but if you take that over the top as Trump has done here, it accomplishes the reverse. It cause people that would otherwise reject their position to rally behind them. And it causes all but your most loyal to walk away.

So, the morons in the "squad" are all for condemning mean words, yet not for condemning actual attempted murder. Got it.
