    It is not

    It mentions no race even indirectly

    Insults are insults and do not become racist based on the target

    It was not racist it was a stupid insult and nothing more.

    It may be un - presidential but insults are insults

    Connect the dots. You are telling a immigrant to go back to her own country. A immigrant that happens to be black. Of course, I’m not bringing in the fact Trump was attacking three other women of color as well. If it’s not racist, it’s attacking ones ethnicity.

    Regardless, it’s attacking people for a trait they happen to carry. We should expect more maturity out of our presidents.

    Who knows what Trump thinks, much less believes anymore? Trump's mind is like a gum ball machine - put an event in the slot, a gum ball forms, drops down to the tongue, and out it pops.

    Not their race

    Quite possibly true

    Which makes the charge of racist even more stupid

    We can continue trying to justify what Trump said or we can identify the problem. Telling Omar to go back to her country is the same type of inflammatory rhetoric that somehow gave off the idea Obama wasn’t born here. If this is what revs upTrumps bass, maybe we are in more trouble than I thought.

    No one is justifying it.

    It is just the knee jerk PC reaction of screaming racist in question

    It’s still attacking someone for where they were born.

    I would be appalled if Obama said something similar.

    Yes, the Islamic antiSemitism against the only democracy in the ME. Fascinating.

    They chanted “send her back” only after Trump mentioned her anti-Semitic quotes. That crowd thought anti-Semitism has no place in the U.S. and Omar needs to go back to the 7th century Middle East if she wants to preach that crap here.

    I am also better looking and smarter than you.

    I am also correct and you have no argument to refute the facts I stated

    Being of a minority status does not shield one from either criticism or rebuke, especially when their manner of conduct and address demonstrates a seething hatred for the united states.

    And depending upon whom is asked, there are racial undertones to be found in food like peanut butter sandwiches.

    https://www.huffpost.com/entry/is-peanut-butter-and-jelly-racist_n_1874905

    There are simply individuals who see racism in every facet of life, even when there is no racism present. They are simply not capable of comprehending the fact that not everything revolves around the matter of race.

    Given the number of death threats AOC has received for criticizing Dear Leader I'm not sure she would agree with your characterization she was free to do so.

    https://ratical.org/ratville/CAH/fasci14chars.html

    Any Trumper who is honest with him/herself can plainly see the parallels.

    "Powerful and Continuing Nationalism
    Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays."

    MAGA. America First. "Send her back."

    "Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights
    Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of "need." The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc."

    Treatment of immigrants at the border including seeking to end legal asylum. Praise for dictators who violate human rights.

    "Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause
    The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc."

    Stoking hatred for religious and ethnic minorities. Demonization of socialism.

    The "anti-Semite" label is so worn out these days. It has become meaningless. It's just another way of saying "I don't want to discuss the crimes of Israel".

    You'd be surprised how many progressives and Muslims use Israels actions to try and justify their general hatred of Jews.

    I've heard what some of these people say when they talk about their views on Israel citizens and it sounds like a chapter out of Mien Kampf

    It doesn't take a genius to spot bigotry under the guise of what people call social justice.
