Donald Trump tells AOC & Ilhan Omar to "go back and help fix the totally broken and crime-infested..

... places from which they came”.

Donald Trump has said that some Democrat congresswomen from countries “whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe” should “go back and help fix the totally broken and crime-infested places from which they came”.

While it was not explicitly clear to whom the US president was referring, it came after he launched an extraordinary attack on Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar – both women of colour – saying he “doesn’t even know where they came from”.

He tweeted:
"So interesting to see “Progressive” Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run.

who are cheering his words and thinking maybe he's on to something as hating AOC seems to be a hobby for a few people around here.

Honestly, so many people on this very “democratic” page didn’t see this setup coming! The second he “defended” Nancy’s leadership (lol) he was splintering the party to attack its most vocal members. Idiots I tells ya!! Our party members have to smarten up! If you hate AOC for being too progressive you need to check yourself!

"Preservation of the Market" that even a, let's be honest, mild critic of Capitalism is presented as a huge threat. History repeats itself, the Moderates will eventually side with the Fascists over the left any day of the week if their pocketbook and political power is in any way threatened, whether real or imagined.

While these 4 congresswomen were and are testifying about what they saw at the concentration camps, fucking concentration camps people, we have Democrats clutching their pearls over how they treat Nancy Pelosi.

If you think moderate Democrats are in any where near the same league as Republicans then you’re clearly not paying attention. Thinking like that gave us Trump in 2016 when selfish assholes either sat home or voted 3rd party to spite Hillary Clinton.

More Bernie supporters turned out for Hillary in 2016 than Hillary supporters turned out for Obama in 2008 after all.

Also, I didn't say they were the same, I just said that one will prefer to prop up the other than support the left, which is true, historically and today.

You really think DUers would agree with a Dotard racist diatribe simply because some of us disagree with some of the statements made by these Congress women?

Most DUers aren’t racist assholes. They just disagree with the “squad’s” tactics.

He's doing it again. Now we're all talking about a racist tweet.

He does this sort of thing when he is distracting us from something he is doing that is 1,000 times worse. Look at what he does, not what he says. While we focus on responding to this outrage directed at four Congresswomen, he is directing an actual physical attack on immigrants and refugees.
