    Theresa May condemns Trump's 'go back' remark to congresswomen

    Did she read the ENTIRE quote?

    "that kind of language about sending people back to where they came from"

    Obviously not since he said no such thing. So who cares what she said?

    Why are you having trouble with this?
    1. Is telling minorities to go back to where they came from racist? Yes. We both agree.
    2. Did Trump tell minority Congresswomen to go back to where they came from? Yes. Do you disagree with this?
    3. Therefore...

    Oh, I agree with that.

    What a moron! Once again, no due diligence and his mouth gets in the way of his brains. Only one of those brown women was not born here. The other one escaped the horrors of Somalia when she was 4 years old. Our country is as much theirs as it is yours and mine.
    Were their remarks uncalled for? Ya. Did Trump display his racist image for all to hear? Ya. Should he have kept his filthy mouth shut
    and not make another of his divisive, ignorant comments? Ya. Let the Dems handle it. They are much better at it than Trump, who operates with chaos and subterfuge. And the chaos isn't a planned management style.

    Didn't some folks in Congress recently imply that Nancy Pelosi is a racist?
    And didn't the Congressional Black Caucus recently wonder if AOC is a racist?

    A today they are throwing the same unbalanced charge against Trump? Makes us wonder about the sanity of these folks.

    Republicans don't want to be dragged into the Trumpery toilet any more than do other decent, patriotic Americans.

    ... much of the congressional GOP is still navigating the episode gingerly — trying to break with his rhetoric while avoiding blowback from the president. It’s a familiar quandary made more difficult than most of the daily controversies of the Trump presidency given the inflammatory nature of Trump’s latest statements.

    At first, Republicans in Washington largely kept their mouths shut on the controversy, and party leaders said little about Trump's remarks.

    "There is no excuse for the president’s spiteful comments – they were absolutely unacceptable and this needs to stop," said Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska.). "Instead of digging deeper into the mud with personal, vindictive insults – we must demand a higher standard of decorum and decency."

    Trump Points Out The Obvious. Nutters Apparently Lose Their Damned Minds. “People who are here and want to talk about how terrible America is? LEAVE. Vamoose. Go. We’re not a socialist state that restricts your ability to leave. That’s the whole point.”

    No, just a racist. Did Pelosi tell 'em to go back to the countries that they came from due to their ethnicity and color? I believe that Pelosi attacked them for mouthing off.
    If that is racist, then so am I.

    Well, according to AOC it is so I guess Pelosi is a racist too for chastising 'women of color'.

    You are free to leave too. I am free to leave. All right-wing radical white supremacists are free to leave. What's your point? You have no point.

    I am not the one having trouble with this. You have had to reach far distances and even edit his statement to make it racist. He did not say "Go back to where you came from." His delivery was childish, but he is right nonetheless.

    The pushback on Monday marked some of the strongest condemnations Trump's received from his party, which began with a trickle and then threatened to widen as Trump escalated his attacks in remarks to reporters. Several Republicans, like Rep. Mike Turner (R-Ohio), called Trump's comments "racist," a description rarely used against the president by members of the GOP.

    Perhaps you're not understanding this correctly?

    Trump made an entire campaign about America not being great and he's been speaking out against the 1st Amendment protections of those who criticize him. I guess he should go back to Germany, huh?

    Yes telling anyone including minorities to go back where they came from is NOT racist


    It doesn't matter what consequences would take place as such consequences do not define what racism is .

    Telling someone to go anywhere refers to geography not race
