Source:CNN
Today, Donald Trump took to Twitter to attack 4 Democratic Party women in the House...Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Talib, and Ayanna Pressley. Of the 4, only Ilhan Omar was born outside of the United States with this racist tweet.....
Trump implied in the series of tweets that the congresswomen weren't born in America and sarcastically suggested, "they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came."
Pelosi jumped to the defense of the congresswomen and condemned Trump's language. "When @realDonaldTrump tells four American Congresswomen to go back to their countries, he reaffirms his plan to "Make America Great Again" has always been about making America white again," Pelosi tweeted. "Our diversity is our strength and our unity is our power."
New Mexico Rep. Ben Ray Luján, the assistant speaker of the House, echoed Pelosi's sentiments on Twitter Sunday: "A racist tweet from a racist president."

Which is not well at all.

and his ...strong base is only 20 to 25 percent of total population
and there are lots of middle of the roaders who will be offended..wait and see......
....... A racist tweet against diversity and a hit on ladies to boot...............
........ And............Ladies who are members of Congress....
...This moment is it.......................
........You don't attack ladies, who are members of Congress who are also minorities....
........Trump will have to apologize. (But I don't think he will)
................This will allow Republicans to finally attack Trump.....................
............... And they will...Just wait and see......
Remember this: Trump is a person who thinks he can get away with anything.
But no one can get away with racist language against minority women.

(31,538 posts)The only time they disagree with him is when they decide not to run for office again. Other than that, they pretty much back him up, regardless what he says or does. They are as despicable as Trump, himself.

Maybe large blue cities that have enormous economic power ought to do something to shut these fucking racist, stupid ass, fuckstick radio stations down.
Maybe the over 100 major universities and colleges that support hate radio by broadcasting their sports on these stations that offer nothing else but hate and racism, ought to remove their support, and make it clear that they don't support this hate and racism.
All of this current shitshow.
All of this fucking hate.
All of this fucking normalizing of racism and sexism and mysogeny.
Every last fucking bit of it was grown in the putrid petri dish of hate radio.
Oh, this shit existed before, but it was normally treated like your fucking drunk uncle. He rants and raves, but he really couldn't do shit.
Hate Radio normalized our drunk uncles and gave them power to implement their stupid hateful shit.

will be a shinning moment for
Our party for eternity.

(16,849 posts)The Twitter attacks on 4 Progressive women in the House by Donald Trump shows us plainly and clearly, who Trump and his followers are.
That means Congressional Republicans who sit idly by and say nothing about the attacks Trump lobs at those who oppose him. More Democrats need to speak out. They need to tie their Republican colleagues and opponents to Trump and his Birther/Racist tweets, words, and deeds.

(38,454 posts)Trump has stepped over a line that is obvious to everyone. That is everyone except the racists among us. Yes, some Congressional Republicans will attack Trump. This is major news. It will take those republicans who are sick of this crap, a while to get it together to attack their leader. But the attacks on Trump will come, but it will take time. Why? Congressional Republicans have to be willing to risk their careers to attack MR. STUPID TRUMP.
..The in fight among republicans could destroy their party. It is going to start today. We will all see
