FAREED ZAKARIA, CNN HOST: Well, what's striking is the president's defense now is that this is not racist because all he is saying that these Congresswomen are radicals who hate America and constantly criticize it. And what is striking to me about that is the 2016 campaign, Donald Trump was singular, almost unique as a presidential candidate in just constantly trashing America. Donald Trump's message during the 2016 campaign was America is a terrible place.We're losing out to everybody. Everybody's treating us badly. His inaugural address talked about American carnage. The rally he's at in Greenville that he's holding where he's talking about these things is still called "Make America Great Again" meaning we're still not great.
So he's allowed to do that. And what that tells you, Don, is it's okay for white men to criticize America. But if you're a young black woman with a funny name or a young brown woman with a funny name, shut up and stand in line. That seems to be the message...
One of the things that we have come to realize I think in the last ten years is that when people feel anxious for a number of reasons, some of it economic, they go to a place of cultural anxiety. And that the person -- and this is true in Europe, this is true in the United States, the person who can -- who can in some way reassure them, you know, about that country, that's why his slogan is 'Make America Great Again.'
'I'm going to take you back to this world before there were these uppity women, before there were these people of color telling you what's wrong with the country.'

Not what I recall
Fareed is a commie piece of s**t. F***k him.
America is the Constitution. Was Trump criticizing the constitution like these people do? Or was he criticizing our having got away from it and our principles
Logic. Its not just a good idea its the law
I really don’t know what to say, other than this guy is an ass...
What?
Talk about an alternate reality!
From the party that hates the Jews.
As if people can’t see what’s really happening, CNN viewers need their brave firefighter Acosta to tell them
“It is Trump spreading the message .”
And you know what? Trump got the desired results he wanted.
The media jumped in to rescue these four “women of color”, their faces (plus Trump’s) kept showing up on air at all time.
Nobody’s paying attention to Biden, Harris, Warren, Crazy Bernie, (let alone the other 20 or so also-ran, etc. etc.) or their messages.
And just when you think the brouhaha is going to die down eventually, Trump could easily manipulate Dems and media (redundant) react the way HE wants them to.
The Presdient’s core message:
“For too long, a small group in our nations Capital has reaped the rewards of government while the people have borne the cost. Washington flourished but the people did not share in its wealth. Politicians prospered but the jobs left, and the factories closed.The establishment protected itself, but not the citizens of our country.
“What truly matters is not which party controls our government, but whether our government is controlled by the people.”
The 1st amendment allows the “gang of 4” to say pretty much whatever they want however, HOWEVER!! Trump also has the 1st amendment right to respond to their comments with his own comments.
For some reason, the Left always get this fact wrong. Apparently they think that they can be verbally offensive and not be confronted. There is and should always be a right to counter something that someone has said. That is the way it works.
The number of white-hating bigots that have come out of the closet is astounding.
Could be there is somthing other that communist going on here...
.
ZakariaIdiot is one huge bigoted, racist arsehole!
than...
Auto correcting is gonna get me in BIG trouble someday.

Fareed is saying if Donald can criticize the states then so can brown women. Well, they do. In fact, it’s OK for everybody to criticize the US. Donald is simply pointing out if the squid hates the states they can leave. And they can.
The “squid of fore” sure make Robert Heinlein’s “Service equals citizenship” look REAL good.
Well, that’s just real white of him.
I had to listen to this POS during my son’s graduation at Ohio State University. Although he didn’t make it political, I knew what he was all about. It made made my stomach turn.
Past time for Fareed to F-Off!
