President Donald Trump’s tweet telling four Democratic congresswomen to “go back” to “the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came” was quite literally textbook racism.
IOKIYARRP
It’s OK if you’re a racist Republican President.
No, it’s really not at all funny that the President of the United States inadvertently quoted standing US policy in order to demonstrate his profound racism, but at the same time,
Aaaaaand, removed from the website in 3…2…1…
Examples of potentially unlawful conduct…
Trump: Laws do not apply to me. 2nd Amendment guarantees it. I will write laws which apply to others.
Even though Trump’s attacks on the four congresswomen of color — three of whom were actually born in the U.S. — amount to textbook discrimination, the President’s allies in the Republican party have declined to call him out.
Laws are for suckers. And Democrats. But my Republican’t friends would say I’m being redundant…
He’s vile, but I’m glad that the Treason/Rape/Racism Caucus have chained him to their ankles.
This whole argument by the Republicans that Cheeto’s clearly racist statements are not “racist” is approaching “He’s not dead, he’s pining for the fijords” level of absurdity.
Federal law as enforced by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission counts discrimination based on nation of origin as one of several kinds of prohibited discrimination.
All well and good, but other than Representative Omar, the women’s “country of origin” is the United States. Let’s stop calling it “racism” and start calling it “bigotry” or “prejudice.” Words matter.
Doesn’t the President work for us?
I mean, in a real democracy?
EO to change employment law coming up. As well as a tweet about “Freedom of Speeeeeecch!”
Fortunately for Trump, he will not suffer any legal or political harm for his behavior, even into his second and third terms.
Trump does not respect any law, the U.S. Constitution, ethics, morals, manners, or sober judgment. He is a megalomaniac.
Cue Republicans saying this is why the law needs to be removed or changed.
Trump does and says in public what most republican politicians only think or do in code or behind closed doors.
Imagine just waking up from a 3-year coma, and scanning the headlines…
What law has ever stopped Trump and his ilk?
He’s spotlighting them hoping they will not speak at investigations about him.
The fear of tRump. Right now they must stand up to this phony potus.
