Kevin McCarthy defends AOC Squad after Trump attacks: 'This is their country'
Associated Press ^ | 07/15/2019 | Staff

Posted on 07/15/2019 6:44:53 PM PDT by LibertyWoman

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy says President Donald Trump is not a racist. But he also says four Democratic congresswomen of color whom Trump said should return to their native countries should not have to leave the U.S.

The California Republican told reporters on Monday: “This is their country.” Three of the four congresswomen were born in the U.S., and all are Americans.

"The Left rarely retreats. And then there are the pantywaist Repukes.

What a party. Cowardly, corrupt, bought-and-paid-for."

**************

In other words cowardly, corrupt, and compromised.

The 'R' behind their names stands for RETREAT.

With Republicans like this, who needs Democrats?

> A little slow, but our minority leader.

And that zero charisma back bencher will work very hard to ensure the GOP remains in the minority !
And I thought the Republicans hit rock bottom when they made Hastert the Speaker.

A little slow, but our minority leader.

Slow, and always there to serve up low-hanging fruit for liberals like Rachel Maddow

Those women of ‘color’ perfectly represent the democrat party. The bulk of that party are just as cowardice as the Repubics. They are in the same mindset but just too cowardly to come out because they know, they will lose their election, for now... (until our Nation is so swamped with these maggots that voting will no longer mean anything to patriots)

They lied. Twisted the truth and lied.

See my later post, about President Trump saying they could leave,

fix problems in the other country,

then come back and say how they did it.

He never said to get out.

Very well put, keep it up!

It is so upsetting to us. We are people who obey the law, extend help to others when needed and just basically mind our own business. But...this will come to a head and I believe sooner than later.

Steve Scalise on with Laura Ingraham stood up for POTUS. Called his office and left msg of thanks and said I agree ... anyone who doesn’t like it in U.S. is free to leave!

Called McCarthy’s office but can’t leave message since office closed.

So sick of the cowardly GOP.

So Talib can call POTUS a Motherf..... for the second time this past weekend and the Republicans don’t say a word. But the minute POTUS pushes back these 4 women scream racist.

They know no one will confront them because you’ll be called a racist. They’re hiding behind this accusation to attack and say whatever they want.

Kevin McCarthy....“This is their country.” Three of the four congresswomen were born in the U.S., and all are Americans.”...

Well as I see it...trying to move this nation further from the vision of our founding fathers is not America....born here or not. If you are unable to fully embrace what America stands for then you need to go elsewhere. Being an American means pledging allegiance to the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands....it's a 'privilege' to be here.....to help preserve and strengthen America's historical and cultural identity that has nothing to do with one’s ethnic, religious, or racial origins.

Trump wins another round.

He doesn’t need to convince or assuage the Left. Their base will never vote for him.
He needs to unify the Left, sane(-ish) defending outright anti-American lunatics (leveraging propensity to oppose all things Trump) and thus marginalize the sensible Center, who either will vote Trump (as the not crazy option) or just stay home (win by attrition).
And with this tweet storm he did.

Weak and easily cowed, as I suspected he would be.
You may regret this episode of RINO fever, Kevin.
The Donald will not forget.

“They have a right to give their opinion.”

Well, does Trump have a right to give his opinion?

Also, Trump was speaking in rhetorical terms, but this idiot is so stupid he takes him literally.

It should be understood by all that those four could not be run out of the country with someone chasing them with a bucket of manure.

And get this writer’s meme about “four women of color.

Really? Let’s imagine they were talking about their toilet. How would the characterization be different?

Exactly... Talib called POTUS that again this past weekend and not a peep from the worthless RINOS.

They’ll keep getting away with it unless people on our side start addressing these incidents at each incident.
