(CNSNews.com) - The American Civil Liberties Union -- note the word "American" in its title -- complained Tuesday night about President Trump's repeated use of the word "America" in his State of the Union speech.
In a written response to Trump's speech, Faiz Shakir, the ACLU's national political director, said:
Tonight, President Trump said the word ‘America’ more than 80 times in his speech. Yet, after a divisive first year, we hear and feel how exclusionary that ‘America’ is, with policies that have harmed so many vulnerable American communities. The ACLU stands ready to protect these communities, both in the courts and at the polls.
In particular, the immigration plan put forth by Trump would hold Dreamers hostage to his demands for a harmful border wall and an even larger mass deportation force. We are at this crossroads because of the President’s deeply destructive ideas fomented by his nativist allies and divisive rhetoric. We will continue to stand up for these young immigrants and ensure they continue to contribute to our country. We cannot let America’s Dreamers be deported.

And you know that we should listen to that all-American boy, Faiz Shakir.
Old Faiz doesn't like America. I didn't see that one coming.
Ha. Shut your face, raggedy man.
Last time I noticed, ACLU was initials for AMERICAN Civil Liberties Union!
Huh? Perhaps they should re-brand their own name if that word is so offensive.
In a written response to Trump’s speech, Faiz Shakir...”
Christ.
His picture: Faiz Shakir, muslim
Oh, my God! The nerve of President Trump using the word “America” during an American STU address in the American capitol given to the American Citizens. How dare him??? IMPEACH! IMPEACH! IMPEACH!
Can't have that sort of backward thinking now can we?
And a full 25 percent of the words in their name are “American.”
It’s about America, Faiz Shakir.
DUD!
xlnt
Americans have dreams too.
80 times?...that’s all?
That picture shows an inbred, mentally-retarded Arab. Is someone supposed to be listening to him?
Well no shit. It is called the State of the Union. Libtards are so well...........retarded.
Leftists hate America more and more as time passes. This is evidenced by the fact that most — if not all — dems sat through the more patriotic parts of Trump’s speech. And let’s not forget that one congresscritter (his name escapes me) who got up and walked out during a chorus of “USA, USA, USA, ...” by republican lawmakers.
Is this some kind of joke?
