CNN's news coverage appropriately calls the president's tweets racist:

[kpete]

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump used racist language on Sunday to attack progressive Democratic congresswomen, falsely implying they weren't natural-born American citizens.

.............

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."

On "Fox News Sunday," Luján told Chris Wallace, "That's a racist tweet. Telling people to go back where they came from? These are American citizens elected by voters in the United States of America to serve in one of the most distinguished bodies in the US House of Representatives."

1. Yeah. We KNOW this. Get the fucker OUT, damnit.

2. So? What else is new? Breaking News: the President is Racist.

[gratuitous]

3. Racist and ignorant

It doesn't matter if a Representative is a birthright citizen or a naturalized citizen; they get to serve if they get more votes than anyone else in their district. That's probably the part that baffles. Needy Amin, that winning election by getting more votes.

5. YES. ignorant.

4. Well, we know he can't go back to the country his grandfather left

Germany threw Frederick Trump out for being a draft dodger - something Frederick's son and grandson have emulated in their adopted country.

Fred Trump, DJT's father, was so ashamed of his family's origin he claimed he was from Sweden. But then, he was arrested for parading around New York City in a white robe, so no wonder his son is a racist piece of trash.
