Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD) insisted on Monday that President Donald Trump’s racist tirade about “progressive congresswomen” going back to where they came from was, in fact, not racist.
Trump literally said “countries,” not “districts.”
God, these people are some turbocharged combination of ignorant and sycophantic.
So… The best defense you can come up with is that now Trump is calling parts of America “shitholes”…
For fucks sake - if you are being openly racist to appeal to an openly racist electorate just own it.

This is way too easy.
If that’s the best you’ve got, dude, you’ll never get invited to have McD’s at the White House.
…Came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world.”
This is a self-own, then?
If you’re going to be such a weak ass, just say “the President speaks for himself” or something. Mealy-mouthed nonsense like this is not impressing any of the very fine people on both sides. You’re not appealing to the racists who love how Trump is loud and proud, and you’re certainly not impressing anybody else. Fuck’s sake.
" Better to Remain Silent and Be Thought a Fool than to Speak and Remove All Doubt"
And a super duper self-own, at that.
It is very common to say “country” for “district.” People are saying.
Seriously, if Dems can’t make an effective campaign ad going after this dumbass’s moronic statement, they really don’t know how to beat back the stupid. This guy is from Maryland for fuck’s sake. Tivo this guy’s shit or set up those recorders, however its done these days…There’s got to be a wealth of stupid shit he’s said to go after if this is the best he’s got.
“Trump’s racist tirade about “progressive congresswomen” going back to where they came from was, in fact, not racist.”
Rep. Harris must fail a lot of CAPTCHA tests.
They already think that. Not think; they know it in their very bones. Have you ever seen how the pearl-clutchers on the internet talk about California, to say nothing of Chicago? The former is broke and crumbling; in the latter, the typical citizen averages eleven gunshot wounds per annum.
“Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came,” he tweeted.
Um, MA-7 isn’t exactly “crime infested”
I don’t know much about the other three districts but this excuse is just as racist as the original remarks.
Our current president is a walking testament to the fact that Democrats do not know how to beat back the stupid. I guess, after W, we needed another example.
Do the R’s have a wheel they spin to see who’s going to be the designated bullshitter when it’s time to cover for Trump?
And are the excuses conjured up by 4 year old kids on acid?
And who is this explanation aimed at? I don’t think even my Trump-loving idiot family members would buy this. Just go ahead and do the racist thing. It’s what they love.
I had to look up CAPTCHA test. Learn something new everyday here. So that’s what they’re called…
Here’s one given to tRump to verify he’s not a bot:
“No, they’re not. They’re obviously not racist,”
Dude - the question itself shows this is not “obvious”, indeded it suggestx quite the opposite.
Then again, I guess that saying - “look the president says outrageous things to distract the media and pubilc discussions from things like the prisonrefugee camps and his connection to Jeffrey Epstien” just wasn’t going to go over very well.
