they resent and reject the principles on which this nation was established....which allows them the freedom to gain political office and have the freedom of political speech.
They will never understand that. Deep thoughts cannot survive in their little pea brains.
Republicans come and go, but NPR is forever.
Women of color? Nonsense. They are bratty children of privilege.
NPR soon to be unfunded.
If you are a politician and favor foreigners over Americans, the only public office you should ever hold is with a foreign government.
In the cases of the four women, none of them should hold any public office at all. They are just leftist idiots.
I shall not miss them if they leave the USA and I wouldn’t welcome them back either.
I think “nativist” is at least a little closer to the mark. Trump is about America First, and he cares more about CITIZENS of the United States of America than he does about the citizens of foreign nations. If that is “nativist” than so be it.
I would even go to say that he does care about citizens of foreign nations in that he believes they should work to make their nations great again.
"Immigrants" are people who come to this country LEGALLY.
and their descendants.
Their descendants assimilated. They did not demand that their adopted society conform to their expectations, while they leech off its generosity. Nor do they vocalize their repeated, unceasing complaints about all the horrible "injustices" rampant in the new land.
These people are not welcome here, regardless of where they were born. And if they keep running their mouths, the reaction will be more than words.
That's pretty much what he said. "If you hate America so much, why don't you go back where you came from, make it better, then come back and show us how it's done."
President Trump needs to defund NPR As Soon as Possible!
It is a hotbed of noxious, venomous LIEberal LIEs!
Right.
Trump isn’t criticizing these women because they are of color. Its because they continually smear the country with lies and hate filled rhetoric. Trump says what most of the country is thinking about these swine.
May Ron Elving find his safe space.

Dear NPR. That your hosts speak slowly with exacting diction doesn’t mean they are intellectuals or understand anything as well as the rest of the public - let alone knowing more. This nation created the public radio platform on which your livelihood now depends. You should celebrate this nation and its history - not belittle it. You truly are clueless. Unfortunately for you, you’re too clueless to actually recognize that you are clueless - AND you don’t have enough humility to look inward. It’s sad that your intellect is subservient to your ego. It’s like a fly next to an elephant.
They are not “women of color” in the context of the discussion. They are women of equatorial cultural origin.
No wonder the First President of this Republic issued a grave warning for future generations on the "dangers" of the "spirit of Party"!
George Washington on the Baneful Effects of Political Parties
“Let me now take a more comprehensive view, and warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the Spirit of Party...”
Excerpts from George Washington’s Farewell Address
September 19, 1796
“... One of the expedients of Party to acquire influence, within particular districts, is to misrepresent the opinions & aims of other Districts. You cannot shield yourselves too much against the jealousies & heart burnings which spring from these misrepresentations. They tend to render Alien to each other those who ought to be bound together by fraternal Affection.
...
“All obstructions to the execution of the Laws, all combinations and Associations, under whatever plausible character, with the real design to direct, controul counteract, or awe the regular deliberation and action of the Constituted authorities are distructive of this fundamental principle and of fatal tendency. They serve to Organize faction, to give it an artificial and extraordinary force — to put in the place of the delegated will of the Nation, the will of a party; often a small but artful and enterprizing minority of the Community; and, according to the alternate triumphs of different parties, to make the public Administration the Mirror of the ill concerted and incongruous projects of faction, rather than the Organ of consistent and wholesome plans digested by common councils and modefied by mutual interests. However combinations or Associations of the above description may now & then answer popular ends, they are likely, in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the Power of the People, & to usurp for themselves the reins of Government; destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion.“... in a country so extensive as ours, a Government of as much vigour as is consistent with the perfect security of Liberty is indispensable — Liberty itself will find in such a Government, with powers properly distributed and adjusted, its surest Guardian. It is indeed little else than a name, where the Government is too feeble to withstand the enterprises of faction ...
“I have already intimated to you the danger of Parties in the State, with particular reference to the founding of them on Geographical discriminations. Let me now take a more comprehensive view, & warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the Spirit of Party, generally.
“This Spirit, unfortunately, is inseperable from our nature, having its root in the strongest passions of the human Mind. It exists under different shapes in all Governments, more or less stifled, controuled, or repressed; but in those of the popular form it is seen in its greatest rankness and is truly their worst enemy.
“The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge natural to party dissention, which in different ages & countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders & miseries, which result, gradually incline the minds of men to seek security & repose in the absolute power of an Individual: and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of Public Liberty.
“Without looking forward to an extremity of this kind (which nevertheless ought not to be entirely out of sight) the common & continual mischiefs of the spirit of Party are sufficient to make it the interest and the duty of a wise People to discourage and restrain it.
“It serves always to distract the Public Councils and enfeeble the Public Administration. It agitates the Community with ill founded Jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot & insurrection. It opens the door to foreign influence & corruption, which find a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passions. Thus the policy and the will of one country, are subjected to the policy and will of another.
“There is an opinion that parties in free countries are useful checks upon the Administration of the Government and serve to keep alive the spirit of Liberty. This within certain limits is probably true--and in Governments of a Monarchical cast Patriotism may look with endulgence, if not with favour, upon the spirit of party. But in those of the popular character, in Governments purely elective, it is a spirit not to be encouraged. From their natural tendency, it is certain there will always be enough of that spirit for every salutary purpose. And there being constant danger of excess, the effort ought to be, by force of public opinion, to mitigate & assuage it. A fire not to be quenched; it demands a uniform vigilance to prevent its bursting into a flame, lest instead of warming it should consume."
Why are the taxpayers supporting NPR? If they have a message, let the public support is, not the government. I do not want my tax money to support it.
Yeah, we can’t “go back” to the America that existed before Ted Kennedy ruined it by turning it into a 3rd world dump.
