More than 44K sign open letter to Trump saying he’s not welcome in Pittsburgh
The Hill ^ | October 29, 2018

Posted on 10/29/2018 4:00:00 PM PDT by SMGFan

More than 44,000 people have signed an open letter from progressive Jewish leaders saying President Trump is not welcome in Pittsburgh until he denounces white nationalism.

Eleven members of the Pittsburgh affiliate of Bend the Arc: A Jewish Partnership for Justice penned a letter to Trump following Saturday's shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue that left 11 congregants dead.

"President Trump, you are not welcome in Pittsburgh until you stop targeting and endangering all minorities," the letter reads. "President Trump, you are not welcome in Pittsburgh until you cease your assault on immigrants and refugees."

1.8% of Pittsburgh forbids Donald Trump to appear. I don’t think so.

Was there years ago and I could have sworn there were a lot more.

What about Jewish nationalism, and black nationalism. And Hispanic nationalism.

These people are clearly racist. Nationalism is about a defending a country. It is not about race. The Deep state is constantly trying to equate Whites with Neo Nazi’s. Those radical people make up a fraction of a percent of the population and are not representative of the white race. But by linking nationalism with Neo Nazi’s then they succeed in destroying patriotism and the country.

Trump checked that off his list a while ago...

““Racism is evil,” Mr. Trump said at the White House after meeting with Attorney General Jeff Sessions and FBI Director Christopher Wray. “Those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans.”

Now what he needs to do is bring attention to anti Semitic groups at “leftist” colleges/Universities which take $millions from the Saudis every year.

Go to a multi faith vigil.
Reach out to a Jewish friend and get together.
I don’t see how a protest letter does anything positive.

A whopping 15% of Pittsburgh’s population,

I didn't read the article, but did it say that the 44K were actually citizens of Pittsburgh?

Article by Emily Birnbaum

What Being Queer Outside Of College Is Really Like by Emily Birnbaum

Emily Birnbaum is a graduating senior at Kenyon College, majoring in Sociology. After graduation, she’ll be interning at a D.C. news publication and applying to journalism schools for fall 2018.

“”I went to Cubbyhole, one of the only queer bars in New York City that is heavier on the “lesbian” than the “gay,” with my ex-girlfriend in December 2017. All queer women reading this will likely recognize the complicated grey area that ensues when two women break up .......””

Anyone else see the irony in this?

After a violent anti-Semitic attack, an allegedly Jewish group says, in effect, we don't want your kind around here.

"...targeting and endangering all minorities...cease your assault on immigrants and refugees."

These people are SICK in the head -- VERY sick. He has done 1,000X more for minorities earning self-respect and self-esteem via good jobs than Obama ever did. He is enforcing the rule of law which only targets law-breakers assaulting our sovereign borders. He is keeping people out from terrorism -supporting countries. He welcomes LEGAL immigrants who abide by and respect our existing immigration laws passed by Congress.

44,000 sign petition....


FReepers tell me to ignore the MSM, no one watches them. No one believes them. I don’t watch them at all. But....

This 44K can probably quote the exact phrases they heard
from CNN or Joe & Mika Dem talking points verbatim. “Trump caused the deaths by being a male Nazi using dogwhistle phrases to his followers” “Trump caused the climate of intolerance we all now face.” BS.

Psychologists who call Trump too mentally ill to function as President even had a parade after their petition signing. Others signed petitions to end harshness to illegal aliens.

It’s easy to get a protest mob set up (professionally printed slogan signs included for a slightly higher fee) and even easier to get a petition printed and signed.

Maybe these fools will set a few police cars on fire and Trump will go to 60% approval.
MAGA

Who funded this effort to get 44,000 signatures?

"President Trump, you are not welcome in Pittsburgh until you cease your assault on immigrants and refugees."

So, what would their views be if a group of thousands from Gaza decided to illegally cross into Israel - to seek political asylum? Clearly Israel has a right, AND an absolute necessity to protect its borders. So does the US. Trump isn't assaulting anyone, and the vast majority of hatred in this country has its genesis in inappropriately named 'progressives'.
