Sen. Amy Klobuchar on Trump’s racist attacks: ‘Every day, it’s a trap’
Washington Post ^ | Robert Costa and Amy B Wang

Posted on 07/27/2019 8:33:33 PM PDT by simpson96

Sen. Amy Klobuchar’s presidential campaign launched in February on a snow-pelted stage in Minneapolis. It has since struggled to gain traction in a crowded 2020 field — and former vice president Joe Biden, who leads the polls, has a centrist pitch that overlaps with the Minnesota Democrat’s.

(snip)

“He has chosen to go after four women,” Klobuchar said, referring to Omar and three of her freshman Democratic colleagues. “He has chosen to tell them they should ‘go home,’ basically, which is a racist code word.”

Klobuchar said Democrats must counter Trump but warned that they cannot be pulled into a political riptide in which they spend each day responding to him rather than making their own case to voters.

“Every day, it’s a trap,” she said. “Yes, you stand up [against racism], but you have to acknowledge that it’s a trap.”

While Klobuchar gave support to Omar amid Trump’s continued barbs, she said she would not commit to inviting Omar to speak at the 2020 Democratic National Convention, should she be the nominee.

> Please provide the racist remarks as tweeted <

It’s all about racist “code words”, dontcha know? So when a Democrat says “hello”, it means just that. Hello. But when Trump says “hello”, it’s a racist code word. It’s meant to get the hillbillies and rednecks all worked up.

At least that’s the way the media sees it.

She’s a stupid moron.

Part of what the president said was, “Why don’t they go back and HELP fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come on back and show us how it is done.”

Idiot liberal woman.

Sen. Kloubacher ate food with a COMB. A FRIGGIN' COMB FOLKS. She screamed at a subordinate because she didn't provide a fork. Kloubacher is the political version of Joan Crawford.

Why in (Nicholas Cage from "The Rock" here) ZEUS' BUTTHOLE! Is the media not talking about this?

Libs/Dems have so many 'code words' and 'trigger words' that it is difficult to remember all of them.

Then, there are the various signals, such as the hand 'okay' sign which is code for something that triggers something else.

And atrocity of atrocities is for one of the little snowflake darlings to see chalk markings on a sidewalk.

They ARE Traps, Amy.

And every day you leftists fall into them;

Trying to defend the indefensible. Defending criminals against the law abiding, Defending aliens rather than citizens, Defending the looters against the earners. Defending the perverts against the decent. defending the insane against the sane.

Everything is either racist or climate change.

I haven’t quite determined yet whether it’s climate change that cause racism or racism causes climate change.

Can I get a grant to research that question?

Any more, anything a liberal disagrees with is racist, toxic, sexist supremacist, and patriarchical. All these words are losing their sting because the Left has been throwing them around with wild abandon for 50 years.

“Sen. Amy Klobuchar on Trump’s racist attacks: ‘Every day, it’s a trap’”

Trump can yank these donkeys’ chain anytime he wants to.

“What racist attacks?”

Where have you been? Everything Trump says is racist, by definition. And if you’re white so are you.

Trump’s fight against “the race card” is his greatest assist to R candidates- and all Americans.

Sen. Amy Klobuchar : ‘Every day, it’s a trap’

Amy Klobuchar’s position is this: IF a person ‘IS OF COLOR’ - then no one can criticize them.

Is she nuts?

In a free society we’re all treated equally under the law - and giving ‘passes’ ONLY to people of color is offensive. Can anyone imagine the uproar if we said NO ONE can criticize people with white skin? Get real Amy...

“He has chosen to tell them they should ‘go home,’ basically, which is a racist code word.”

Which word is the racist code word? "Go?" Or "home?"

They did a piece on her in the NY Times and included the gag inducing comb story. The comment section ripped her to shreds.

We know it wasn’t racist. The left is just a bunch of pathetic morons and filled with beta males.
