Donald Trump tells AOC and Ilhan Omar to ‘go back’ to their ‘original’ countries
- Thread starter YawZah

If we lived in a reasonable world surely all the stuff he's said and done already would have sunk him.
Anyone who supports the GOP are racist, or they are supporting racism by voting for the GOP. Both are bad.
The guy who started the whole Obama birth certificate movement thinks all brown people weren't born here? Shocked.
So she's atleast the grandchild of immigrants, just like Trump?
Goddamn, this is one of the more unadornedly racist things he's said in a while. Amazingly telling that he goes out of his way to show sympathy for Nancy Pelosi, the leader of an opposition party he's dedicated his existence to owning, when a few non-White Congresswomen have an intraparty spat with her. All the partisan bullshit is secondary to white solidarity to him.
This isnt going to shatter republicans because this is literally what theyve been saying about Omar and Cortez. Trump just echoed what Fox and republicans have already said openly in public.
Flat out calling someone the N word or calling for the execution of Omar might do it, but telling them to go back to their country is a very finely crafted talking point of republicans that they completely rationalize as a logical criticism.
Hard to focus on Trumps racism when he does something else ridiculous the next hour. The exhaustion of getting him held accountable for one thing is impossible when he's jumping onto something else.

Pelosi is so fucking spineless. That weak ass response over Twitter. "Please stop being mean, also work with us please?"
You should be holding a press conference on live TV and going after Trump for this horrible shit. Call him out, make him pay for his fucking actions. THIS IS NOT NORMAL. Any other president's position would be in jeopardy after making such insanely racist comments about Congresswomen.

Oh they're working on moving the Overton window toward that don't worry.
She's pointing out that he's failing to do his job as president. I know everyone here hates Pelosi but her response there is not a request for Trump to help out.
So the defense Trumpers and moderates are going with is "he was just talking about the one Senator", bullshit, and like that makes any better. They always have to interpret and twist his words so they don't sound bad, when they claim they love that he "says it like it is" and that he's really super smart! You would think after about the 100th time of defending Trump by adding words and trying to say what Trump really means, they would start to feel their own mental contradictions.
she said that his plan to Make America Great Again was always about making America white again, but that doesn't count because she didn't use the word 'racist'?
She literally asks for him to work with them in the second Tweet
Conservatism in the United States depends upon mental contradictions. You might as well be suggesting people not be conservative, because you're calling out their foundations of belief.
Ooof, I did not see those two tweets earlier. OOOOOOF what a piece of racist fuckery.
I think ever since that condemnation/apology malarkey earlier this year pertaining to anti-semitism against Omar by democratic party leaders, she and the other two have had huge targets on their backs.
No she was born in the Bronx, and beyond that her mother is Puerto Rican which would make her a citizen regardless. Trump just thinks all Puerto Ricans are violent, stupid immigrant criminals because he probably saw a movie once in the 80's in which a Filipino man portrayed a Puerto Rican and robbed a rich white guy.
I wish I was exaggerating but this is the guy that thought our border patrol were facing Muslim terrorists and high speed car battles because he watched some of Sicario: Day of the Soldado.
She says he is a white nationalist. Not sure the word "racist" even adds anything there.
That doesn't make sense when he uses the plural "Congresswomen" and "countries".
This is disgusting.
is that really the day of the next election? that's my birthday lol and getting this bad man out of office would be a nice gift.
By the way, the fact that he can write shit like this openly shows just how normalized racism has become and how far the overton window has shifted to the right.
Its a weak response. Her 2nd tweet makes it look like she is asking him to work with them instead of against them. He probably got the gall to do this due to her openly attacking these same Congress members anyway.
The second tweet is what I'm referring to. She's pointing out what the president SHOULD be doing to reflect that he's not doing his job as president. This isn't a request for help, it's her trying to score political points against Trump by highlighting his priorities.
I am curious what kind of response people here would like her to tweet. "Fuck Trump" perhaps?
If AOC typed that same exact response people would be praising her for it, as she's stated similar things many times. Republicans did that about Obama too. Publicly saying the president SHOULD be doing such and such to help the country isn't a way of actually asking the president to do that.
Too respectful. Let's go with: "Lárgate al infierno, Trump!"
That's how Trump ran his election campaign. That shipped has sailed when he won.
It never does make sense. Anything to keep up the illusion that Trump isn't actually racist because then they would have to start questioning if it's ok to keep supporting him.
But then I think the only way they would admit that Trump was racist is if he personally showed up at their house and told them personally, he is indeed a racist.
But probably not even then, let's be honest. Something about the Deep State made him say it I'm sure. or "maybe it's ok to be a little racist if Trump being president is best for the country".
Just further proof that conservatism is just a belief system designed to keep the status quo. And racism is used as a tool to keep lower class white people feeling above immigrants or POC in general.
Pelosi needs to realize Trump isn't making these comments in a bubble.
Her refusal to step up and actually do something about the continued harassment against Omar and her belittling her own freshmen congresswomen of color, just gave more fuel to Fox News. Her attitude towards them signaled it was okay for the right to up the ante, which signaled to Tucker Carlson it was time to start ramping up the blatant racism against Omar, and that's bled into the rest of the network. Trump ate all of it up and regurgitated it for his dumb base like a brain-addled syphilitic bird mother.

I get that you need to rationalize Nancy's abject cowardice and enablement in every thread, but she literally says "he should work with us."
Trump keeps attacking and Nancy chides him but does nothing. Nancy only seems interested in attacking her own people.
Nancy thinks she and Trump are much closer than she and AOC/Omar/whoever, and boy does it show.
