    Then so are signs and you calling Trump an idiot which obviously went over your head.

    No, I said anyone perceived as having a foreign background. Their actual nationality of background isn't the driving factor, it's about how effectively the "them and us" lie can be spun.

    Rep. Rashida Tlaib spews boiling contempt for prayers — three times. A contempt and loathing for Christian prayer to rival that of any communist commissar.

    She doesn't just hate the Jews.

    In the wake of the El Paso and Dayton mass shootings, far-left hater Rashida Tlaib spewed out at least three times on Twitter her loathing for the power of prayer from those who expressed shock and sadness at the events and said they were praying:

    Your prayers aren't working. Try checking your dad on his tweets. 251 mass shootings in the U.S. in 216 days.

    He incites violence every day w/ his hate agenda & racism. More people are dying b/c he fails to fight white supremacist terrorists.

    They are the ones who hate America. https://twitter.com/IvankaTrump/status/1158006879710261248 …

    As our nation mourns the senseless loss of life in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio and prays for the victims and their loved ones, we must also raise our voices in rejection of these heinous and cowardly acts of hate, terror and violence.

    Hater Rashida Vomits her hatred again:

    251 mass shootings in the United States in 216 days. Prayers aren't cutting it Senator. We need you to serve the people, not gun lobbyists. https://twitter.com/SenatorBurr/status/1158061153907593221 …

    The shootings in El Paso and Dayton are acts of pure evil. We mourn the lives tragically lost, and my prayers are with the victims, their families, and the first responders who rushed to help.

    And a 3rd time:

    She also retweeted this:

    The House passed two gun safety bills months ago, but you continue to block them.

    Since you tweeted your prayers, another American community, Dayton, has been shattered by gun violence.

    Americans are dying, and you’re blocking us from helping them.

    Who exactly do you serve? https://twitter.com/senatemajldr/status/1157787985041088513 …

    Leader McConnell

    The entire nation is horrified by today's senseless violence in El Paso. Elaine's and my prayers go out to the victims of this terrible violence, their families and friends, and the brave first responders who charged into harm’s way.

    The nastiness with which she replies to Republicans who express a sincere appeal to a higher power in the face of the inexplicable is utterly revolting. It's the kind of contempt Karl Marx and V.I. Lenin once had for the religious faithful. The Republicans she spews the bile at were expressing some kind of reverence and humility, a trust and turning to a higher power in the face of loss, same as people have done for thousands of years. Tlaib reacts to that with basic leftist viciousness, sounding like Stalin asking Roosevelt how many divisions the pope has, and all of this based in part on her same Marxist ideology. She's got some kind of problem with God, and she's got an even bigger problem with those who don't. When she sees humility toward God expressed by people she doesn't like, its effect is to make her aggressive.

    I don’t think there are any AOC fans shopping for guns at any gun store.

    You say this as if it makes a difference and therefore somehow supports your claim of discrimination.

    I guess you're not up to the nuanced reality. How about the over-simplified version? Trump said it because they're brown.

    Translation: You cannot explain it.
    I accept your concession.

    I did explain it, in both the detailed and simplistic forms. You've ignored both.

    And it shouldn't even need explaining how Trump treated the congresswomen differently on the basis of their backgrounds. It is obvious.
