justvan- "Sigh. The 4 non white women he told to go back to their countries." Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez born in New York City, U.S.A. Ayanna Pressley born in Cincinnati, Ohio, U.S.A. Rashida Tlaib born in Detroit, Michigan, U.S.A. Omar was born in Somalia. So Trump saying "go back where you came from" is telling 3 of the 4 to go back to Detroit, Cincinnati, and New York City. 1) He told them to go back to their countries. Ohio, New York and Michigan are not countries. Where Omar is born is irrelevant. The US has been her only home since childhood. 2) Now we delve into your and his extreme racism and misogyny when you argue that non-white women have no place in Congress? If you are going to illogically argue that by "countries" he means states in the USA. Why then shouldn't Trump go back to his "country" of New York?

justvan - "He didn’t say “love it or leave” Just did a few minutes ago at a rally. He did not make his racist comments a few minutes ago. That's what we are talking about.

His rally tonight was a study in white supremacist rabble rousing, the whole crowd whipped up to scream 'send her back, send her back'. His supporters really do end up sounding like the sheep in Animal Farm.

If the GOP had really wanted to pass a relief bill they only had to vote for the once the house sent them, the fact is they changed it to something no thinking person could support, while I know you lot only want to focus on a small part, those of us with critical thinking skills can see the big picture of what McConnell was trying to achieve

Be interesting to see if he slates another red neck Nuremburg rally next week, this one was arranged as soon as Mueller was down to testify, now put back a week he'll no doubt be wanting something outrageous to get the focus off that, just wait and see

Kamala Harris just told Trump (born in the borough of Queens, New York City, U.S.A.) to go back where he came from. But her skin color makes that ok, right? Wow - you really are that thick right? She is going in on his racism using his rhetoric against him.

His supporters really do end up sounding like the sheep in Animal Farm. Plus ca change. And the racist on this board will argue that having a white president whipping up racial hatred against a black congresswoman having people shout "send her back" is not remotely racist. If only these black people and women would know their place...

"She is going in on his racism using his rhetoric against him." Keep rationalizing. And 3 out of 4 of The Squad were born in the U.S.A. How the hell is his telling them to go back to where they came from racist? Only in your fevered, twisted imagination. Oh, and we already know that it's ok when your side uses the so-called racist language that Trump used. Exactly that. Revoking their citizenship on the basis of their skin colour is racist. It's not that hard Rick - why are you struggling this? Can you explain why it is not racist to tell a non-white person born in the USA to "go back to their country" when they are speaking in the USA? It's actually racist against all 4 but it becomes particularly insidious when aimed at those with nowhere to "go back to". They are in the only home they have ever known. And as for Kamala you're being silly. Calling out somebody's bigotry is not the same as being a bigot. What next? Accusing me and Fandy of being racist for aiming Trump's language at him.

Face it nothing your hero says will make you even have a second thought, though as you agree with so much with his make America white again trope, no one expects you to stand there at his rally and be only one not screaming 'send her back'

And he said specifically said they were from countries with disfunctional or non existing governments and as such had no right to criticise the US, they should return to those countries and sort them out before returning to the US to tell em how it went. Ffs man do you even know what he actually said?

I am pretty certain he employs the "go back to your country" rhetoric when faced with black/brown people he does not like and he certainly sees them as lesser citizens than white Americans. That's why he sees no issue with it. Ditto most Republicans who are shown as being supportive of Trump's comments. It's the politics of white supremacy which, let's face it, is what the US was founded on. It just goes to sleep from time to time.

I am not sure if Rick is so obsessed with Trump he is defending him without knowing what he said, or if he really thinks New York/Michigan are actual countries with dysfunctional / non -existing governments.

Ilhan Omar and 'The Squad' Refuse to Condemn al-Qaeda and Antifa Terrorism www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFdGe_b7SloNot to mention Omars "the Jews have hypnotized the world" crap. But she's woke, so so her anti-semitism and the The Fours refusal to condemn al-Qaeda is A-ok. Trump said if they hate and loathe the U.S.A. so much, they should get out of Congress and go back to where they came from,,,Cincinnati,, Detroit, and NYC. Nowhere did he tell them to go to Africa. He told them to go back to their countries. You can try and repeat your lie over and over but given that we all know what was in the tweets and you clearly haven’t bothered to read them, you are actually making yourself look foolish.

Or Rick are you arguing that Trump thinks that New York is a country?
And why should non white/ non Male people not be allowed to do what Trump dis? Lobby to make the USA better?

The dishonesty of the media is mind-boggling. CNN right now is saying Trump told all 4 of The Squad to go back to their countries (in Africa) They aren't immigrants, except Omar, so they don't have a country in Africa to go back to! You are fixated on the Africa bit. He told them to go back to their countries. That's the issue full stop.

So when Trump defends white supremacists as great guys and refuses to condemn their terrorism, Rick has no problem, but he fully accepts the widely discredited trope that these four are AQ supporters has clutching his pearls and swooning at the outrage.

I've yet to see an explanation of how that's racist. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? You have yet to see how it’s racist to tell non-whites to f**k off back to countries they did not come from? Just to be clear? You also don’t understand why it’s racist to hold non-white Americans to a different standard to white male politicans? (Trump was never told to f**k off back to where he came from when he plateformes on wanting to improve the USA.) You don’t see why it’s racist to assign nationality to skin colour to such an extent that a black woman whose lineage in the US goes back centuries (pre-dating Trump) Is still told to go “back” to some mythical other place? The white nationalists are really outing themselves here!
