Which GOP lawmakers have condemned Trump's tweet
CNN ^ | July 15, 2019 | CNN

Lawmakers are returning to Congress on Monday following a racist series of tweets from President Donald Trump aimed at four Democratic lawmakers, and Republican leaders as well as rank-and-file members are feeling the pressure to weigh in on the President's comments.

But many leaders in the party are so far not weighing in publicly -- including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. "If he issues a statement on this we'll be sure to forward," said McConnell spokesman David Popp in response to a question from CNN.

While many Republican leaders in Congress have thus far not spoken out, some GOP members are weighing in publicly to condemn his comments. Here's what some of those Republican senators and representatives have said so far:

Thanks Innovative.
Sometimes I wonder if.the RINO jackasses are intentionally helping President Trump by doing this kind of thing, but I very much doubt it.

What a bunch of full colostomy bags.

President Trump's comment sure smokes out the roaches, lice, and the bedbugs from the cracks and hidey-holes.

And CNN reports it as "racist" as though that were some kind of "factoid". That's their opinion, nothing more, and reporting it as fact is beyond the pale.

And those things are what exactly?

Funny how the press as unashamedly called them “racist” tweets with NEVER a mention of race or an implication of race in any of the tweets or press conference.

personally, everyone I know that voted for the President thought his comments were right on the money. it’s refreshing to have a President speak the plain truth

President Trump said nothing “racist”. He said the Truth. Can’t these quisling idiot repubs listen and read? What flaccid weaklings. Pathetic does not begin to describe these losers.

Lt. Col. Allen West would be great. He was reportedly considering it until recently.

The usual suspects: Typical spineless cowardly RINOS, not just wearing pink poosai hats, but also wearing full-blown Fasheena costumes.

following a racist series of tweets
Repeat the big lie as often as you wish, CNN. The tweets had NO racial component to them, implied or otherwise.

By attacking individuals for their comments. Trump draws out the guilty white liberals, who immediately respond in knee jerk fashion showing their true colors. Trump talks to us not to them. They talk to each other not us! Its pure genius on Trump’s part. He is showing the American people how much these politicians hate us. It works every time.

“I think more people are realizing if you examine the positions of the left, the only logical result is they will start killing people when they take power.”

Well, send the leftist weenies down south. We’ll take care of them if you can’t.
