House GOP Leaders Defend Trump’s Racist Tweets

That is almost exactly what I was going to post.

Not to mention, didn’t he try to create a concentration camp island for them that they could “leave” to? Trump sure is channeling his inner Lincoln…

Frankly, someone should suggest it to him. Offer him Guam (which he probably doesn’t know exists) as a possible place to put “them” and see how he lights up with glee when you suggest it could even be renamed to Liberia.

Only damn reason they are in the GOP is because Johnson inacted the Civil Rights ACT, and Nixon started the Southern Strategy.

A $5 contribution to the congresscritter who quotes McCarthy’s “Party of Lincoln” remarks, and then quotes Lincoln himself

I will say then, that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters of the negroes, or jurors, or qualifying them to hold office, of having them to marry with white people. I will say in addition, that there is a physical difference between the white and black races, which I suppose, will forever forbid the two races living together upon terms of social and political equality, and inasmuch, as they cannot so live, that while they do remain together, there must be the position of superior and inferior, that I as much as any other man am in favor of the superior position being assigned to the white man.

“My great-great-grandfather allowed black people to pick cotton on his 300-acre front yard from sunup to sundown. Don’t you DARE call my family racist!”

“When asked about the “perception” that President Trump’s tweet was racist — when he told Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) to go back to their home country, even though three of the four were born in the U.S. — McCarthy deflected.”

*Go back to where you came from!" said no Republican ever to a White person.

This makes as much sense to me as saying he drove down Martin Luther King Blvd not too long ago so he can’t be a racist.

Because We Are ‘Party Of Lincoln’

Oh I see. Well that explains everything. “Because we are… squirrel!” works too. What a bunch of nasty, cowardly assholes.

Actually Kevin, the Republican Party is the party of Trump. Thank you for confirming all the worst.

Ask every Republican member of the House this question. If your children or grandchildren…

“You can fool some of the people some of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but when it comes to Kevin McCarthy, just throw rotten food at him, since he’s not worth the effort to take the time to fool. It’s like trying to teach a blade of grass how to be green: a useless exercise, since it already is.” - Zombie Abe Lincoln

“in the content of the individual.” He then offered that Republicans took action against Rep. Steve King (R-IA) when he did something “that we disagreed with.” McCarthy suggested Democrats have not done the same, despite a resolution condemning anti-Semitism that surfaced when Omar was accused of making anti-Semitic statements."

Or, their reaction to sexual harrassment and such from some of their members. It was luke warm at best. They still want to be able to pay off accusers with their campaign funds.

And you thought “The dog ate my homework” was lame. How many days did it take for him to come up with that?

Are you kidding? They’d be grounded for a month and have Internet privileges suspended until college.

It’ll be fascinating to watch all the Republicans now licking Trump’s boots elbow each other out of the way in their rush to publish books – after he’s gone, of course – claiming they bravely fought against him in private.

The most fascinating part will be the physics required to bind a book without a spine.

Funny, I do not remember the GOP telling Steve King to go back where he came from, which would be halfway up the GOP’s racist ass.
