    Trump's tweets were not racist. Just because you have a disagreement with a person of color does not make you a racist. Trump laid it on the line for the four USA haiters -- MTAC (M-Tac) Move To Another Country.

    Racist in this context is subjective. That being said, why would any incumbent republican Rep risk losing in a primary to a Trump backer opponent. Members of Congress do not make a habit of committing political suicide.

    I'm asking you your opinion. This is a forum for adults and adult conversation; isn't that what you're supposed to be?

    If Obama had too some of the drooling, halfwits from Alabama or Mississippi in Congress to "Go back to the sticks you came from" then THAT would be racist...right?

    Yup....trumpism is the most Hypocritical, double standard, political group of cult members ever assembled....

    Ask yourself why Trump would assume that precisely these congresswomen were from another country? Like he presumed that Obama was from another country. Would he ever assume that Nancy Pelosi, or Joe Biden, or ... any white person is from another country. ?

    This isn't an explanation of why it's racist. The best point you have addressed is that he didn't target any Democrats with white skin. However, why can't Trump just make a comment about women of color; not specifically about their color, but about their attitudes towards the United States?

    CNN and MSNBC have said the word "racist" more than 1,100 times since Sunday, according to a tally conducted by Grabien Media, an online media production and news prep service.

    The count, which doesn't include on-screen graphics commonly known as chyrons, comes two days after President Trump in a Sunday tweet said four Democratic congresswomen — all U.S. citizens and members of minority groups — should "go back" to their home countries.

    CNN and MSNBC know that if they say it enough the loony watchers will believe it. Monkey see monkey do. Trump is right -- MTAC.

    After all they have said, on record, are you defending "them"?

    If you allege that they hate America all I did was ask you for a quote to support that claim." I hate America" simple as that.

    Everyone is a racist:

    Our speaker of the House - is a racist

    Biden, the Democratic Party front runner for president - is a racist

    All the white men running for president - are misogynistic, and racist

    I see a trend, race baiters calling everyone else a racist. The word is tossed around at everyone and anyone you disagree with.

    They hate what America was, they hate our founders, and they hate what America is today. Which is why they want to fundamentally transform the US into a socialist nation.

    So you like to dance on the head of a pin. I'll take your answer as a yes, you do support them. That is your choice and I'll support Trump against them. My choice -- our president and our USA.

    Thank you for your concession. It's not about who supports who its about you making a frivolous claim and not being able to back it up with a quote.

    Plenty of Democrats in politics and in the news media, hate Trump. We all know it, but I'll bet their are no quotes of them coming our publicly saying "I hate Trump," just as we have not seen quotes where these America hating dems are foolish enough to say so publicly.
