it’s very relevant, trump said that their home countries were broken and crime infested, and people are saying that comment was racist. the only one not born here, is from somalia.

Three of them are native born Americans. Are you agreeing with Trump saying America is a country whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world?

Only a true blue Trump enabler would defend Trump with the one not born here was.... what 11 years old when she came to the US .. and you and Trump fail to understand not being born here doesn't make you less of a citizen.. but clearly you feel that it does

i’m not defending trump. i’ll go very slowly here, please try to follow the bouncing ball.
i asked if its racist to say that somalia is a dysfunctional country. ( answer- it’s not racist, because it is in fact a terrible place).
you said that question isn’t relevant.
i said it is relevant because it’s a part of his tweet that he’s getting slammed for.
now you say i’m defending him.
it was a stupid offensive tweet. but not racist.
and the more i think about it, the less of a problem i have, with telling 4 hens who clearly hate everything this country was founded upon, to get lost if they hate it that much. he shouldn’t have said go back where you came from, but if he said “you obviously hate everything the country is and stands for, so i have good news for you, you are free to leave”, id have been ok with that.
AOC is too stupid to be dangerous, she’s a harmless punchline, who i believe is actually doing more good for the GOP than could be done by any republican who could
ever win that district.
Omar is a very different animal. a reporter asked her if she would
condemn the antifa terrorist attack at an ICE facility he tried to incinerate, and she refused to condemn it, and i’m not making that up. that one is a manchurian candidate who loathes the country that took her in. she is scary. when you can’t condemn an obvious act of domestic terrorism, you have no business being in congress.

The tweet is below,please point out where, read slowly if you need to
now you say i’m defending him.

I would say the words of a Xenophobic Bigot might be more appropriate to describe trump, here's a link to a dictionary
https://www.dictionary.com/

Odd that they would work to win an election to a post in a government that you claim they hate. Try this on for size: intolerance toward those who hold different opinions from oneself, it's the definition of bigot.

If Omar is so evil and powerful as you claim, perhaps she will be impeached. More likely after this term she will fade into history as a sentence or two. You do understand that she is one of 435 members of the House, together with the other 3 Trump refers to they are less than 1%. Lot's of opportunity for them to actually do anything. You should be scared. Hopefully they will do a good job of constituent service.
I've heard Trump called a Manchurian Candidate also, that scares me far more and there is circumstantial evidence that points to it being true.
Trumps tweet
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. Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how....
....it is done. These places need your help badly, you can’t leave fast enough. I’m sure that Nancy Pelosi would be very happy to quickly work out free travel arrangements!

again the denial is epic ... its amazing in this entire Trump tweet storm somalia is a dysfunctional country is what your mounting your defense of Trump on (stupid offensive tweet. but not racist.) then go on the blame the victim tour LOL
you need to re read some history on that phrase "go home to where you came from" its not as benign as you or trump are trying to suggest .... and any republican who also see's it as Racist get dismissed as RINOS ....
But obama was called divider & chief what does that make Trump

they were both jerks who were divisive. trump is
much more overtly obnoxious and boorish, but obama also despised his adversaries. No one sits in rev wright’s church for decades and calls him their spiritual advisor, without buying into that racist bile.
not denying anything, except your notion the tweet was racist. what is your proof that his tweet has
anything to do with their race? isn’t trump a vulgar jerk to everyone who attacks him?
JUST BECAUSE they aren’t white, doesn’t mean race played a role. To liberals obsessed with race baiting, the presence of non whites is enough to conclude there was racism. that’s horsesh*t.

i’ll give you $100
in cash if you can post anything i’ve ever said, that would
make anyone with an IQ of 50 or
higher, think that i feel that way. or
kindly admit you made it up. I’m serious, $100 in cash for
any evidence to support that bullsh*t claim you just made. i condemned what trump said, are you so slow and dim that you missed the 5 times
that i said it was an offensive tweet?
if anything, immigrants who come
here legally and become citizens, are better citizens, because unlike many of us, they don’t take the beauty and opportunity of this place for granted. they work hard, do the right things, and view education as a gift from god, many of them send their kids, first generation born here, to college. that’s the stereotype of the legal immigrant. that’s the ideal, classic, stereotypical immigrant, someone who grabs the opportunities we offer with both hands.
is that clear enough for you? or are you still a bit fuzzy?
