It seems that anytime someone, especially a Republican, makes a negative comment about someone who isn't white, the Democrats claim it is racism. In most instances it has noting to do with their race and everything to do with their beliefs. If I were to give the same negative attributes to Pelosi and AOC, you would claim racism regarding AOC. Sorry about your unreasonable bias and playing your race card.

Trump's racist attacks are all part of his 'outsider' strategy - and if America's not careful it will work again

"There is great anger” – that was Donald Trump’s pitch to the nation as he portrayed himself as the ultimate outsider, the only one able to clean up the “swamp” in Washington".

After Trump Accuses Four Democratic Congresswomen of Hating U.S., They Fire Back

"Hours after President Trump defended his Twitter attacks on Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and Ayanna S. Pressley, the four Democratic congresswomen of color held a news conference to respond to his remarks".

Twitter won’t hide Trump’s racist tweets

"Twitter won’t be treating President Donald Trump’s recent tweets telling congresswomen to “go back” to their supposed home countries as a violation of its hateful conduct policy, the company confirmed to The Verge. That means the tweets won’t trigger a flagging system Twitter announced last month, intended to limit the reach of banned content by public officials.

On Sunday, Trump attacked a group of congresswomen — implicitly the Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) — by saying they came from “countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe” and telling them to “go back” to “the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came.” All four representatives are women of color, and three of them were born in the United States; as explained by Vox and The New York Times, the tweets invoke racist and xenophobic rhetoric that suggests non-white people and immigrants aren’t real Americans".

Which GOP lawmakers have condemned Trump's tweet

"Lawmakers are returning to Congress on Monday following a racist series of tweets from President Donald Trump aimed at four Democratic lawmakers, and Republican leaders as well as rank-and-file members are feeling the pressure to weigh in on the President's comments".

Trump's racist rants are too offensive to overlook

"The president has all but declared that he will redefine the Republican Party as one of white grievance against a changing America:".

"In the not so distant past, politicians would reach racist voters through what are sometimes called “dog whistle” comments. These are cautious, subtle statements that most people hear only as policy mumbo jumbo — criticizing affirmative action, say, or activist judges — but which others hear as a reaffirmation of their bigoted world views".

Trump says he’s not concerned about being racist because “many people agree” with him

"He also falsely accused Ilhan Omar of “speaking about how wonderful al-Qaeda is” in his latest racist rant".

"President Donald Trump said on Monday that he’s not concerned about coming across as racist in tweets he posted on Sunday admonishing Democratic women of color in Congress to “go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came,” because many people agree with him. No, really.

While Trump was taking questions from reporters during an event that was ostensibly supposed to be a “Made in America Product Showcase,” Fox News reporter John Roberts asked him if it concerns him that “many people saw that tweet as racist and that white nationalist groups are finding common cause with you on that point?".

His only tool is racism': why Trump's bigoted tirade could be a vote winner

"It was foul and repugnant. But was it a vote winner?

Donald Trump’s bigoted tirade against four congresswomen of color, telling them to “go back” to the countries they came from, prompted widespread revulsion – the comments “drip with racism,” said the Senate minority leader, Chuck Schumer – and yet will not necessarily damage his chances of reelection.

Trump: Congresswomen can 'go wherever they want'

President Trump on Tuesday pressed on with his attacks on four Democratic congresswomen of color whom he told to "go back" to their home countries, saying the lawmakers "can go wherever they want."

"It’s up to them. They can go wherever they want, or they can stay," Trump told reporters during a Cabinet meeting. "But they should love our country. They shouldn’t hate our country".

Trump Should Go Back to Where He Came From

"This morning, the president of the United States decided to share his thoughts with the American people:

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! "

‘Go back’? Trump’s grandfather’s German hometown has a different message for the U.S. president

"BERLIN — When it became clear Donald Trump would be the Republican nominee for president in 2016, the German village of Kallstadt suddenly became a destination for journalists and tourists curious about the unlikely candidate’s roots.

Trump’s grandfather had been born there and migrated to the United States in search of opportunity. Many of the 1,200 residents of the town, uncomfortable with the spotlight and the populist rhetoric Trump espoused, wished the eventual American president would forget about their quiet corner in Germany.

Behind Trump’s ‘go back’ demand: A long history of rejecting ‘different’ Americans

"The Know-Nothings wanted German and Irish immigrants to get out because they were allegedly subversive and diseased people who were stealing American jobs. White preachers and politicians of the 1820s urged freed blacks to move to West Africa, supposedly for their own good".

So, President Trump, Should Your Wife “Go Back” to Her Country, Too?

"President Trump has once again, for the umpteenth time in his public life, revealed himself to be a racist in a series of tweets about progressive congresswomen. And let’s abstain from the euphemisms, shall we? He didn’t just “spew racist rhetoric,” or “fan the flames of a racial fire.” He was racist because he is racist. The examples are, sadly, plentiful—from housing discrimination to birtherism to calling Mexicans “rapists” in his presidential candidacy announcement".

Historian: Trump Now Tied For ‘Most Racist President In American History’

"A Pulitzer Prize-winning historian says President Donald Trump is now tied for number one in a category he may not want to brag about.

“He has joined Andrew Johnson as the most racist president in American history,” Jon Meacham said on MSNBC on Monday, referring to the leader who routinely finishes at or near the very bottom of presidential rankings by historians".

I watched a bit of his interview after the event. I don't think it was racist. The woman came across as very arrogant, plus one was actually from Somalia!
One thing that I don't like and I expect many don't like is none native people telling you how to run your country. I'm in the UK. I have the same opinion, if you don't like it then don't stay. If they said or acted like that in there native country they'd be dead in a week.
Plus I'm guessing with trump her being from Somalia left a bitter taste in his mouth ,mogadishu will never go away!

McConnell says Trump is 'not a racist' and calls for Washington to 'tone down' rhetoric

"Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Tuesday that he doesn’t believe Donald Trump is a racist despite the president’s calls for four Democratic lawmakers to “go back” to the “crime-infested places from which they came".

McConnell wants Washington to tone down the rhetoric? Perhaps he should tell Mr. Trump.

The silence of Republicans not condemning Trump's remarks indicate they either agree with everything he's said or they won't speak up because they fear backlash from their constituents by acting on their consciences and showing moral integrity. The timing of Trump's tweets wasn't a fluke he was celebrating Nathan Bedford Forrest Day in Tennessee on Saturday. It was a nod to his father a clansman and his constituency.

Will one of you so called progressives, please define "racist" as you interpret it so all of us can understand your point of view. It seems my understanding of the term must be obsolete!!

Seems that Nathan Bedford Forrest, was a democrat. So you get to own him, his views and positions. According to Wikipedia, he had no problems putting down republicans also.

So continue hating.

Eric Trump: ‘95 percent’ of Americans agree with my father

"Eric Trump on Wednesday heralded his father, President Donald Trump, as “the greatest fighter in the world,” and claimed that “95 percent” of people in the U.S. support his political message even as the president has worked to beat back criticism of racist rhetoric he leveled against members of Congress".

Through this Golden Door has come millions of men and women. These families came here to work. Others came to America and often harrowing conditions. They didn’t ask what this country could do for them but what they could do to make this refuge the greatest home of freedom in history. They brought with them courage and the values of family, work, and freedom. Let us pledge to each other that we can make America great again." -Ronald Reagan

He is right that 95% of Americans love their country, but he is wrong in trying to then portray that as a partisan issue. Patriotism and love of country are not controversial, partisan sides of the debate. HOW to implement a vision that demonstrates those, however, are.

And telling aids and others to ignore subpoenas. Because of this obstruction by Trump and those in his cabinet, it will eventually go to a Federal Court. That's when everyone will start to sing. None of them will take a Federal rap just for Trump's sake.

You know those amendments to the Constitution?
They were proposed and voted on by Americans who wanted to improve the country. They didn’t leave, they stayed and made the country better.

We've crossed a line here folks. Once you take away the freedom and the right to have dissenting opinions, America ceases to be a democracy. Once we are forced/pressured to follow and agree to the dominant opinion, we no longer have FREEDOM.

When you disagree with how the country is being run, you don't have to leave it. You can work to try and make it better. Do you think the suffragettes loved everything about the USA? Of course not! They didn't leave. They stayed and fought, and now women have the right to vote. Did everyone love the Jim Crow laws? Of course not! But they didn't leave. They fought for civil rights and integration.

I don't like how the "squad" handles their issues. I think they are young and inexperienced and don't know how to conduct themselves like dignified professionals. They need to stop pushing so hard, some of their ideas are too extreme. But 45 has no business telling them to "leave." You can still love your country while disagreeing with how some issues are handled. That doesn't mean you need to leave, it just means you can work to change it.

Sargent's amendment (also known as the Susan B. Anthony Amendment) was defeated four times by a Democrat-controlled Senate. When the Republican Party regained control of Congress in 1919, the Equal Suffrage Amendment finally passed the House in May of that year and in the Senate in June


When the House of Representatives passed the 19th Amendment in May 1919 it did so by 304 votes to 89, with Democrats only 104 to 70 in favour but Republicans 200 to 19. In the Senate, Democrats were in favour only by 20 to 17 but the GOP voted for it by 36 to 8.
