President Donald Trump may have finally met his match: The Squad.
The famously foul-mouthed President on Sunday launched yet another Twitter tirade, saying that the four congresswomen, known as The Squad -- US Reps. Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib -- should "go back" to the countries they came from. All four are US citizens, and three were born in the United States (Omar is a refugee from Somalia who spent part of her life in a Kenyan refugee camp).
But the women haven't backed down. Nor have they responded with platitudes or undeserved tact. Instead, they've called the President what he is ("racist") and his language what it is ("white nationalist"). Unlike the many politicians and public figures previously attacked by Trump, these four women can fight him on his own turf: Ocasio-Cortez, in particular, is social media savvy and understands the particular patois of Twitter. They also have youth on their side; next to them, Trump seems like the grumpy, racist grandpa that he is.
And, more importantly, they have the moral high ground. It takes some real mental jiujitsu to twist Trump's comments into anything other than straight-up racism. How else do you explain someone telling four American citizens to "go back" to foreign countries? What the President really means is that nonwhite Americans have a less legitimate claim on this nation than white ones. Two of the President's three wives, after all, have been immigrants themselves, and he doesn't seem to suggest that they should "go back." The "go back" assault is fundamentally racist and cruel.

Ping to great link in #7.

I've lost count...
What I think you meant to write...

Yes, the president's tweet was inartful, and oversimplified the situation...
But that should not be equated with racism.
Regards,
Right, the President is going to get rolled by spirit cooking, freshman minority bitches led by some pissant white girl from Westchester who’s pretending to be some PR . CNN is truly jumping the shark here
I wonder if, in a few years, this too will be credited to Russian trolls?
After all, that’s Warren’s take on the whole kneeling during the anthem thing. Not news media and sports media breathlessly telling us every instant of the event, with detailed follow ups on future games..
Nope, nope, all the fault of Russian trolls.
And he'll strike that match, and make it burn, baby burn!!!
Hey CNN! Seriously? Trump got you, the Democrat Party and the rest of the MSM to side with 4 anti-American Communists. Trump wins! BIGLY!!
Pelosi came in, stinking of gin
And proceeded to lie on the table
She said, Don, you’ve met your match.
But Nan, its only a scratch.
And I’ll be better, I’ll be better
Just as soon as I am able.

“Yes, the president’s tweet was inartful, and oversimplified the situation...”
I cannot underway everyone fro Dan Bongino to Tucker find it necessary to state this.
Fist place I don’t know what it means
Trump said what people are thinking
The result is Nancy Pelosi, The speaks tod the House, is defending this fascists
Aligning herself with them. Democrats will all have to line up, as they always do, as fascists do ( it’s the definition) together. They will find themselves falling behind those with the strongest personalities the most charismatic emotional stars of the party
Where will that leave the party?
Why does Trump have to be like Lovey Howell? In addition to being perfect in every way, in his past, in his dealings?
What is that?
The President’s tweet created that disaster you saw in Congress today. Today was a disaster for the Dems and it quite simply would never have happened without Trump’s tweet. There was nothing dumb about it. It was a body shot to the dems as it forced Pelosi and other ‘moderates’ to embrace the four nut jobs just when they were trying to distance themselves from them.
It’s amazing that CNN is so stupid that they don’t understand that President Trump deliberately provoked the media into promoting the Four Horsewomen of the Democrat Apocalypse as the new face of the Democrat Party ...
President Trump WANTED their hate-America, hate-Israel, anti-Semitism, pro-socialism, whiny narcissistic self-victimhood, pro-illegal-alien, and total lack of any concern for the well-being of regular U.S. citizens and the things we ACTUALLY are concerned about to be front and center ... President Trump wants the entire Democrat Party to be forced to own these four and everything they stand for ... President Trump wants these four to BE the Democrat Party!
President Trump is in the process of setting the 2020 election stage so that ALL Senate and House elections become national referenda on his “America First” philosophy vs the Democrat’s “America Last” philosophy ... no more of this “all elections are local” bullshit leftover from the 20th Century ...
President Trump is once again completely defining the rules of national politics in 2020 just like he did in 2016 ... and to me, it’s hilarious that the dying lying leftist fake stream enemedia dinosaurs and their junior partner Democrat Party dinosaurs have no more ability to adapt to President Trump’s new rules in 2020 than they did in 2016 ... And just as in 2016, the President Trump comet will once again obliterate the gigantic, brainless, and plodding Mediasaurus and Democrat Partyaurus dinosaurs ...
