    Didn't I reply to you on that already?

    Just goes to show that there's no point in arguing with Trumpers and their fake news.

    He's a well known racist...

    regardless....

    He's an assjack.

    A total assjack.

    Unfit to be president. A loose cannon of stupid. An embarrassment to the office of president and an embarrassment to all of America.

    That's a fact.

    Trump could do something if he wanted, but nope, make some racist tweets instead

    The problem with he folks you're arguing with, is that their "white superiority" is so much a part of the basic fabric of who and what they are, that to them, what normal folks see as racism, they just see as their natural superiority to minorities, as facts as basic as that the sun rises in the east.

    Therefore trashing minorities isn't "racist" to them, it's just calling out the inherent superiority of whites, which they feel everyone is aware of, deep down.

    Can't help such folks, but the good news is they are old and rapidly dying ;)

    Reminds me of the old two-headed monster ReaganBush.

    Anything that Ronald Reagan or George HW Bush did or said that the liberals didn't like was magically attributed to both of them.

    Who and when did anyone "trash minorities'?

    If everything now racist to dems and all white conservatives are white supremacists? By reading and listening to dems, I'd swear the KKK was outside their doors and windows every night.

    Was it also racist when he called 93.9% white New Hampshire a "drug infested den"?

    No chief, that is exactly how this goes. The OP point was to point out that Trumps racist tweet about Baltimore is false. He didn't put the tweet in the OP but it was clearly implied.....and everyone danced around it.
    This confuses me.....Are you saying Sanders and Baltimore's mayor are also racist and admitting Trumps tweet is? That's what it reads like.
    First, I went to bed....I'm old and it was late
    Now about the racist Baltimore tweet.
    Why Baltimore and Cummings? If Trump actually cared about shitholes and such in the country and doing something about them (which he has no interest because it doesn't put money in his pocket) he could have:
    Pointed out the district with the worst poverty level...NY's 15th district. ....but he didn't.
    Pointed out the second worst district. ...That would be Rashida Tlaib but, oh yeah, he already told her to go back where she came from....and didn't mean her district. I say that because he "clarified" that later saying if you don't like here you can leave.
    Pointed out #3 Kentucky's 5th.....oh, but that's a white Republican
    Pointed out #4 Texas 34th......but he didn't
    In fact he didn't point out any of the poorest districts in the top 25. In fact it was 104. Why? What was his point? Cummings? Yeah, Cummings, and in doing so he made a poor choice to make his point. His district is pretty good. He didn't go after his policies, which is what a politician should do. You tell me the reason.
    What I do know is has a habit of going after people in a racist way and defends racists. Does the word racist get over used....yep, but if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck.

    Trump referred to Biden as "slow" and "low IQ".

    If Biden was black, you and your left-wingers friends would have said Trump's comments were racist.

    See how that works?

    No, YOU kept asking people to post the tweets. I told you which tweets and here you are running away again.

    You have nothing. You can't in any way show how his tweets against minority members of congress were made simply because if their race. In fact, trump has made it clear he will attack anybody who attacks him REGRDLESS of race. He has proven that time and time again. So until you can show me the attacks are because of race, you're nothing more than a crying lefty who has nothing of substance so you just scream 'racist' because it's the hip lefty thing to do these days.

    That would be an assumption on your part.....and that assumption would be wrong. Saying those things just makes Trump a dick.

    That's utter nonsense. Are you saying that Elijah and his crooked wife are excused for living great lives off the backs of those they allow to remain in squalor because they are black? Can you even see past race and skin color?

    “Baltimore, under the leadership of Elijah Cummings, has the worst Crime Statistics in the Nation. 25 years of all talk, no action! So tired of listening to the same old Bull…Next, Reverend Al will show up to complain & protest. Nothing will get done for the people in need. Sad!”

    Your sidetracking the discussion into race will not feed a single child or prevent a single innocent victim of a driveby shooting.

    Ummm.....it is not an assumption. It's what the left does over and over again. Pelosi criticized AOC......got called racist. The left can't get it through their heads that criticizing a minority is not racist. You have to shoe that it is BECAUSE of their race to be able to claim it's racist.....and of course the left can't and thus you have the claims of racism becoming meaningless.

    No, saying those things are true.

    And yes, you and your left-winger friends would have called him a racist.

    He's not in control of the city and state governments. We know how lefties hate personal responsibility but it's for them to do.
