Dumb Political Correctness

Garmel said:
What? I did not grab a different follow on quote. The Hill article I quoted is word for word most of the 2nd tweet. It's basically the gist of what he said. The first tweet he blathers on about the countries they came from and the third tweet he says they could just leave and Nancy would be happy to see them go. Please show me the racist part I missed out on. I'm beginning to think you fell for fake news once again.

Which countries did these Congresswoman come from?
 
Here’s the Democrats problem. Every single issue they want to argue it turns into racism. You are racist if you don’t agree with them. It’s just not here or there, it’s every single issue. They have no substance or policy arguments so they resort to identity politics. You libs have used up all the race cards and this is what you get. Time to start talking policies. I know it’s not a fair fight. But maybe you should reflect on your ideas if they are actually good for America or not. Start there.

I don't agree with your statement that's racist. Trump said nothing about looking different from him, you added that. You also believe anybody who wants a border wall is racist so I'm not sure you know what a racist is.

No, it is because those countries have embraced corruption and socialism (at the risk of repeating myself). Also, Trump has trash-talked people of all colors, so you can’t assume that Trump’s comments are racist. Again, more mind reading and confirmation bias.

He also didn’t mention go back to your country. That was also added. Maybe replace “country” with “back to your districts.”

Trump-splaining.

He literally said "why don't they go back" after describing their "countries". The attempts to alter or re-explain to transform the meaning of Trump's tweets is a bit much.

That’s not true. His follow up was yesterday from the weekend comments and he just added to another statement that if you don’t like it here and you hate your country then leave. But that was not apart of his Sunday comments. I’d give you libs the benefit of doubt if you didn’t always take things out of context. But that’s what y’all do.

Not true? Taking out of context? The tweets are there for the whole world to see. You are claiming down is up and right is left with this post.

I don't really care what he said yesterday because at this point it's spin from the reaction to his initial tweets on the topic.

This will die quickly like most of the anti-trump stuff does. Don't worry though. The MSM will create another nothingburger for you to display your faux outrage soon. ;)

Accountability is no longer a virtue Trump's party, apparently. It's always someone else's fault and literal meaning of words are not to be believed.

Like I said you think wanting a border wall is also racist. That shows me that your views are not based on reality but more on feelings.
 
Damn, at this point I might vote for a candidate just because he promised not to go on Twitter. But here we go . . .

Were the Tweets racist? Literally no. If you try to read into them, then maybe. It's pretty much in the eye of the reader. Do I care? No. Everything is called racist now, so the term is meaningless at this point. If he wasn't called a racist for this, he'd be called a racist for something else.

Were the Tweets massively stupid? Yes. They were factually wrong (except with respect to Omar), so he looked dumb to pretty much anybody who isn't a kneejerk Trump partisan. In addition, he shifted the narrative in a politically foolish way. A few days ago, the focus was on AOC and her wingnut chief of staff in a pissing match with Pelosi and moderate Democrats. The more often they clash the better it is for the GOP and Trump because it illustrates their nuttiness and fosters division in the Democratic ranks. By posting those idiotic Tweets, he unified Democrats and gave Pelosi and AOC a way to disengage from their pissing match.

Were the tweets xenophobic?

I agree. Trump stepped in it because he didn't check their backgrounds and he really needs to quit using Twitter to after people. However, I don't think any lasting damage will occur. I think this will pass quickly because the libs' next outrage is always just around the corner and the democrats' unity will fall apart.

Stepped in what? You didn’t see anything wrong with what he said.

No one called Trump a bigot until he ran for president. He won a NAACP award if I recall.

You’re wrong on both counts. His bigotry is well documented going back to the 70’s. But here’s the thing. You and yours already know he’s a racist, and that’s always been ok with you.
