Trump tells Dem congresswomen: Go back where you came from

NeverTrump said:
Fun fact:

Mark Meadows (rep texas)- Born in France
Dan Crenshaw( rep North Carolina)- Scotland
Elaine Chao (Mitch's Wife/Secretary of Transportation)- born in Taiwan
Ted Cruz- Canada

While Trump doesn't mention by name who he was targeting we can guess, but they weren't born in other countries like some of Trump's people I listed above:

Pressley- Chicago
AOC- NYC
Tlaib- Detroit

AOC's dad in particular was born in NYC. Only her grandparents were born in PR. This according to the racist definition, makes her more American than Trump, who's dad who was born in Germany. Melania herself born in Slovenia.

Just wanna clear up a few things
Ayanna pressley was born in Ohio as was her mother, not Chicago
AOC's grandparents were born in PR and were US citizens, all people born in Puerto Rico are US citizens since 1917.

Both of these Congress women have have deeper roots to being US citizens than the current president.
Maybe we can send the president and his family back to where they came from.
I don't know about the rest who knows maybe he was only talking about the Omar.

What you forget, is she was put into office by 550K American citizens to do what she is doing.

You and I may - or may not - agree with her. But her constituents obviously do. And that's what Freedom & Democracy looks like.

I didn’t forget. My being able to call her an ungrateful bitch makes me “uniquely American” did you forget that? :lamo

That's fine, as long as you respect her rights and those of your fellow Americans she represents.

Everything he does is based in generating hatred. Hatred for women, hatred for immigrants, hatred for Muslims, hatred for Hispanics. Trump has been smart enough to know that harnessing fear is the most powerful political weapon he can use to keep his base fortified.

Gee, I thought the statement was critical of immigrants who were gifted by the host to legally enter and become citizens, and then use that gift to spit on host's society.

But then, I actually read what he stated, so I may have missed the talking point reinterpretations and the invisible subtext .

You must be the only person on earth that deciphered his words in that manner.

Trump Tells Freshman Congresswomen to ‘Go Back’ to the Countries They Came From - The New York Times

He was critical of women, four to be exact and all women of color. Why was he critical of those women by saying they should “go back and help fix” the countries they came from? Because he has no plan or strategy on how to fix this. He's the damn president, what is he actually doing other than incarcerating people, to actually address the core of the problems of immigrants coming here to LEGALLY seek asylum? Really, name one thing he has done proactively that isn't costing the American taxpayer billions of dollars for his capture and incarcerate policy? What plans has he developed or put forward that addresses the root problems in Central America? He has no right whatsoever to tell four American Congresswomen to "go back and fix" ANYTHING. He's nothing but a narcissistic racist thug.

You know, I'm often called out here as an 'America hater' which is far from the truth. What I hate is what Trump is doing to your once respected and admired nation, held in affection and trusted by many, including me. Trump has managed to destroy all that within three years. Trust and respect have to be earned, not demanded, and I believe it will be many years after he is forgotten before they are restored.

If you are called an "America Hater", it's by those lacking in understanding of what it is to be an American.

There is only one requirement to be an American, but it's a defining one: Allegiance & fidelity to the Constitution. Our founders did not constitute a "culture", "religion", "language", or anything similar. In fact, they expressly constituted freedom & liberty in the above matters.

Unfortunately Trump, and many of his followers, do not have Constitutional allegiance. Trump is in fact, a "false prophet". I'll let you draw your own conclusions of those that seem to worship him ...

Trump speaks the unvarnished truth. Omar is a racist bigot who never embraced out culture.
Tlaib is a Palestinian who thinks Israel has not right to exist.
Both women are virulent anti-semites.

Our country elected Trump and they're attempting to overthrow a duly-elected President, as if we're the same as the ****holes from whence they crawled.

As long as you respect her right to speak freely, you have the right to be called a "fellow American". If not, this isn't the place for you.

You don't have a president, you have something called a 'Trump', masquerading as one, failing miserably at that and doing a fine impression of a leader of a Third World banana republic. The only ****hole I see is Trump's ignorant gob.

Reality must be hard for you. Don't worry, it'll only be 5-6 more years, lol!
 
Anyone notice the contextual somersaults and back flips Trump supporters are giving to a racially charged statement "go back to your country"
While in the same breath calling Omar an anti semite without context when she said " it's all about the benjamins"

This is hypocrisy at its finest.

Culture? Who's "culture".

She swore allegiance to the Constitution, which makes her as American as you & I - no more - no less.

The Constitution does not specify a "culture"! But it does espouse long on "Freedom & Liberty", including "Freedom of Speech", which is something you may care to re-acquaint yourself with.

No, there was no hidden message or obscurity about what he said. It was very clear.

The cult’s position seems to be: Trump didn’t say that, and it wouldn’t be racist if he had, and also he’s right they should go back where they came from.

There's no evidence that anyone is attempting an overthrow of the government. Stop your hysterics.

Omar is a Hamas-loving, Jew-hating immigrant who panders to CAIR.

Who's worst, the leader who stokes hatred and racism, or the racists who eagerly follow? I believe it's the latter.

The sad fact is, is that the president is a better man than his supporters...
