McConnell: "The president is not a racist."

[Miles Archer]

He was asked about his wife.

"She came here at age 8, and fulfilled the American dream, I'm a big fan of legal immigration."

The reporters failed to remind him that Ilhan Omar came her at age 12 and fulfilled the American dream."

Railed against Socialism.

Said "everyone" needs to "tone down the rhetoric."

6. Traitor says what?

And, does "everyone" include your precious MF45, McTurtle? No, I thought not.

7. "Everyone needs to tone down the rhetoric"

Translation: We're losing on this, and would prefer not to talk about it anymore. Sorry Mr. Majority Leader, but we're not quite done talking about it yet.

Trump makes a racist attack, his targets respond in the best traditions of the country and the Constitution, and suddenly Mitch wants everyone to just tone it down. You want to admonish the person who started the latest kerfuffle, Mitch? Or are you too scared to confront the president and his bigotry head on?

[Dirty Socialist]

13. THIS! nm

[Skidmore]

8. Racism is not an economic model

It exists in socialist and capitalist societies alike.

[question everything]

10. And you are not an a**hole

[Cirque du So-What]

11. Yes, he is

It was established back in the '70s when he and his scumbag father were tried in federal court for discriminatory housing practices. History may have turned out differently if justice had been served.

[bdamomma]

14. Mitch what a liar

Mitch is a racist too. I don't believe him at all. He is disengaged from the American people and just worried about his monetary connections to give him even more money, I hope he chokes on it.

[sakabatou]

15. And I don't have brown eyes

16. "The pope isn't a catholic."

17. Slightly reminiscent of the 'depends on the definition of what is, is' moment

The Turtle knows this is blatant redneck racism being spewed but we can clearly see that is what the Rethug Party feels is perfectly all right to spew in public without fear of retribution. This is really a dark blot on our country and surely our changes the perception of the country in the eyes of the rest of the world. The Russians, Chinese, Iran and North Korea all must be thrilled to death to see the United States being viewed as a pariah nation. All this while our traditional allies are stunned and way less secure in knowing we mean to do them harm by abandoning long standing military defense alliances and economic trade agreements. And the GOP has been entirely complicit in sabotaging the country for pure corporate greed and using race baiting and the red scare to slander the Democratic Party and it's constituents. The Trump Doctrine usurps all the norms of modern history and civilization.

18. Oh. Why bc YOU say so, liverlips? n/t

[Vinca]

19. So how does Mitch account for the housing discrimination charges back when dad was still alive,

the full page ad buys about the Central Park Five and his failure to recognize their proven innocence, the "shithole" countries comment, etc., etc., etc. Mitch's wife wouldn't be in the Cabinet if she a) wasn't Mitch's wife and b) rolling in dough in her own right.

20. Is it okay if we include your wife in dotard's comments of go home??!!
