On this weekend’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday,” White House adviser Stephen Miller defended President Donald Trump’s tweets directed at the so-called “Squad,” Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI).
Miller said, “I think the term racist, has become a label that is too often deployed by left Democrats in this country simply to try to silence and punish and suppress people they disagree with, speech that they don’t want to hear. The reality is that this president has been a president for all Americans, whether you look at historically low black unemployment rates, historically low Spanish unemployment rates. Or what he’s doing on immigration truths protect safety, security, rising wages for all American citizens.”
He continued, “I fundamentally disagree with the view that if you criticize someone and they happen to be a different color skin that that makes it a racial criticism.”

Anyone calling me a racist is getting a knitting needle in their eye. And that’s not a threat it’s just how it is.
Miller is very good. He makes excellent (if obvious) points.
That, said, I think that Pres. Trump would do well to start lumping in some old white lib far left males with “The Squad”. Demonstrate by comparison of virtually identical statements that nuttiness is not restricted to “women of color” — it comes in all shades!!!
Trump only lowered the unemployment rate and improved the lives of millions of minorities just to hide the fact he is a racist.....or something like that.
Jerry ballard needs a lot of grammatical and spelling help.
To call somebody racist means only that you don’t like the person for whatever reason. The term has also been used for animals, activities, and object such as fried chicken, bananas, and milk by people who have psychological issues with those food items.
I’m just now noticing that too. Shame. Should have been done better.
It is possible that it was intentionally sardonic (playing on Ebonics or ghetto grammar).
