Democrats were winning this issue. The Republicans were caught tongue tied. I don't know how this helped. Trump was digging his own grave by running his mouth and this just takes attention of him and the GOP who remain silent. The news cycle will now just focus on these women. They've effectively bailed him out. The best way to respond to a troll is don't. Let them dig their own grave.
That's going a little far, don't you think. It's actually kind of scary. You should really think about what you are saying and not let emotions get the best of you.
I can't directly answer your question because I don't want to go against the staff post rules and I really don't want to go through all the name calling. I faced enough of that everyday in my life. Last time I cried for days after I was banned and was called names. I respect your opinion. Thank you for listening to my point of view. I hope you can respect mine.
i just noticed that "#TheSquad" is trending in the US on twitter
as is "#RacistPresident"
It is more the division isn't really helping out The Squad in any real capacity.
Once again, white moderates put the burden and the risk of standing up for what's right on people of color.
Democratic leadership, where the fuck are you?
Oh right telling these women to shut up and know their place.
I dunno I saw a bunch of tweets like these:
Everything I said seems plainly obvious to me. Not sure what you're asking.
Here's hoping unless Grandpa Joe wins the nomination.A whole freaking generation is about ready to forsake the Republican party.
Now if only they'd vote.
It's not, just saying I've only seen tweets like that.And this is telling those women to shut up?
You said Democratic Leaders are telling them to shut up. Where?

This is a misrepresentation of the facts.
"Don't publicly refer to party colleagues as racists and child abusers" is not the same as "shut up and know your place".

Did you miss what started this and caused Trump to jump in and defend Pelosi?
Yeah, that was a week ago, and I think Trump's racism has backfired and has now united Democrats. Or at least put their differences aside for now. Thats what I"ve been hearing on MSNBC and CNN at least.
That's what started this though. That's what Trump picked up on.
This is a misrepresentation of the facts.

Yes but are the bigots and assholes who support him a minority in Ohio, Wisconsin, and Michigan? We were already in the majority last time around.See, this is why I still have faith that come 11/20 we can turn this over.
The bigots and assholes who support him are a minority.
Right except she personally apologized to Mark Pocan who is a white male for calling them the child abuse caucus and didn't do shit for the women minorities. HmmmmmmmmThis is a misrepresentation of the facts.
"Don't publicly refer to party colleagues as racists and child abusers" is not the same as "shut up and know your place".
Sure, but I thought people were talking about NOW. Instead of driving a further wedge between Pelosi and the freshmen democrats, or just doing nothing and letting the democrats infight, he's united them against him.

TFW When you only have one tactic and everyone can see right through it.This is a misrepresentation of the facts.

This has me cackling at work. Amazing.
lol %Rump basically said, all but telegraphed that the Dems would have no choice but to embrace them now that he's attacked them in that fashion. If Pelosi wants to change her tune now or just let all the other leaders chime in and sing praises of the Squad that would also be smart.Sure, but I thought people were talking about NOW.

lol, this is a real post."Don't publicly refer to party colleagues as racists and child abusers" is not the same as "shut up and know your place".
Democrats in the room said they interpreted that remark, in part, as a shot at Rep. Mark Pocan of Wisconsin and co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, who called moderate Democrats members of the "Child Abuse Caucus" in a tweet over their support for the Senate's version of the emergency humanitarian package.
But a Pelosi spokesman said the speaker's comments were about the use of Twitter in general and not targeted at any individual member.
Pocan, who was not in the meeting, said Pelosi personally phoned him later Wednesday afternoon to apologize that it had been seen that way.
"All these people have their public whatever and their Twitter world," Pelosi said. "But they didn't have any following. They're four people and that's how many votes they got."
This is a misrepresentation of the facts.

Sorry you gotta deal with that.I hate saying this but most of my family is fully supportive of Trump's racist agenda. Yes that makes them racists. But... we're a minority too. We're Indian. WTF.
Trump played himself yet again but Pelosi's response should've been way more aggressive than the milquetoast tweet we got
The Squad is just gonna keep laying it out there over and over tho
Minorities signing off on racism against other minorities isn't a new thing. The "Fuck you. I got mine" phenomenon is far from being exclusive to white people. In fact, pitting minorities against one another is a tried and true tactic by the powerful to keep people from focusing on who their ire should truly be aimed at.I hate saying this but most of my family is fully supportive of Trump's racist agenda. Yes that makes them racists. But... we're a minority too. We're Indian. WTF.
Actually, tone policing is a very common form of the know your place microagression.
I must make two honest confessions to you, my Christian and Jewish brothers. First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season." Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.
It did a good job of taking the spotlight off the embarrassing behavior of dem leaders yeah, but it's done nothing to """""unify""""" anyone but the Squad themselves. The narrative that "the dems are setting aside their differences to stand up to Trump" disintegrates when you look at what started this situation in the first place, and how it's going to continue to go.
The Pelosis of congress still hate the Squad-types. This will continue to be made clear now that they don't have any problem speaking out when Pelosi throws pot shots. Or, more likely, Nancy will go on to keep her stupid mouth shut to avoid making a stink like this again.
It's a shame since folks really need more of this back and forth within the party to proceed so that they can see past these painfully transparent MSNBC and CNN narratives of "See! They're all on the same team and getting along!!!"
