Trump has met his match: The Squad
CNN ^ | June 16, 2019 | Jill Filipovic

President Donald Trump may have finally met his match: The Squad.

The famously foul-mouthed President on Sunday launched yet another Twitter tirade, saying that the four congresswomen, known as The Squad -- US Reps. Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib -- should "go back" to the countries they came from. All four are US citizens, and three were born in the United States (Omar is a refugee from Somalia who spent part of her life in a Kenyan refugee camp).

But the women haven't backed down. Nor have they responded with platitudes or undeserved tact. Instead, they've called the President what he is ("racist") and his language what it is ("white nationalist"). Unlike the many politicians and public figures previously attacked by Trump, these four women can fight him on his own turf: Ocasio-Cortez, in particular, is social media savvy and understands the particular patois of Twitter. They also have youth on their side; next to them, Trump seems like the grumpy, racist grandpa that he is.

And, more importantly, they have the moral high ground. It takes some real mental jiujitsu to twist Trump's comments into anything other than straight-up racism. How else do you explain someone telling four American citizens to "go back" to foreign countries? What the President really means is that nonwhite Americans have a less legitimate claim on this nation than white ones. Two of the President's three wives, after all, have been immigrants themselves, and he doesn't seem to suggest that they should "go back." The "go back" assault is fundamentally racist and cruel.

Not even close. Trump’s tweet was dumb, but it doesn’t come close to the day-in-day-out idiocy of those four.

So let’s see, little Jilly... the President is “foul-mouthed,” even though he didn’t use any profanity or even identify anyone in his tweets. But the bitch who called him a MFer ... well, that’s okay, because, you know, he’s orange and you work for CNN.

Both Trump and the squad are willing to talk outside the Oveton window. But the differences end there. Trump is competant and talks real world sense. The squad are incompetent and talk Leftist hive mind narratives.

Jill Filipovic CNN. Her resume is now destroyed. Hiring a person from CNN is a risk.

“Trump seems like the grumpy, racist grandpa that he is.” False. Trump is not grumpy.

I would be upset if random persons would start smacking the teeth out of these anti-American propagandists. I hope it doesn’t happen.

We need more reports like this .they are moving the squad and dems closer to the Rubicon. With that..ads like the new RNC will fill the airwaves. CbC will get taken out by the squad. Dems will self destruct.
