Ted Lieu: "I will still be in Congress after your racist ass leaves."




Ted Lieu
@tedlieu

Hey @realDonaldTrump: What makes America exceptional is we are a nation of immigrants. As an immigrant who served on active duty, I am appalled you are telling us to "go back."

I'm not going back. America is our home. And I will still be in Congress after your racist ass leaves.

All four of my grandparents were born in Eastern Europe. Mother was born in the U.S., but raised in Europe. I was born in Ohio. Our piece of shit neighbors in the 1950s when I was in elementary school would not allow their children to play with me because my grandmother had a foreign accent. And, the "man" of the family was the Superintendent of Schools in my town. Talk about a piece of shit. He tried to pick up my divorced Mom all the time and he was married with 5 kids, but his kids were too good to be around me and my family.

Fuck you, MF45, and your piece of shit supporters and every bigot out there who thinks your are superior to foreign born, brown, black, gay, bi, trans, any minority kind, sort or type of person or people. You are bigots because YOU KNOW deep in your cold, ugly heart that you are not good enough to have survived the bigotry and hardship that these groups have endured.

So, Ugly Trumpistas, FUCK YOU AND FUCK THE POS MF45 THAT YOU WORSHIP.

IMO, there are some who think because their ancestors arrived in the U.S. years and years ago, they are so much more special than "new" Americans.

My kind skeddadled out of Europe back in the 1700s through the 1800s. Probably mainly for economic reasons but also some religious ones and just general opportunistic ones.

My big regret is that I really can't trace my heritage to the much earlier immigrants that crossed from Asia 10,000-15,000 years ago. Maybe I can, just don't know.

However, my biggest regret is that some recent inhabitants such as the RW underclass want to limit immigration now that they have found their own homes. Their undeservedness is manifest through their hatred and lack of understanding of their own history.

..."I got mine, fuck you."

I welcome immigrants...especially those fleeing horrendous situations. Trump has perverted the American Dream and American History to a point where I cannot find enough negative words to describe my embarrassment.

By the offspring of people who just showed up one day, exactly like the folks immigrating from Latin America today.

Seems IQ45's grandfather was one of the crime infestors, having broken German law, skedaddled to America. Unfortunately, I don't think Angela Merkel will take him back.

And wasn’t his mother a native of Scotland? I may have my relatives of his mixed up, but he most certainly did have some who were immigrants. Had they returned where they came from, where would he be now? Or would he even exist as the asshole he is now?

Be careful what you wish for or demand, tRump. The focus might shift back around to YOU and your life circumstances.

Of course, when I lived there, it was Republican.

I didn't know that Lieu was an immigrant, but he's a great American.
