Rep. Mark Walker, a Republican from North Carolina, was present at the controversial rally held by President Donald Trump last week, during which supporters chanted “send her back” as the president attacked Rep. Ilhan Omar. On CNN Monday, Walker said hearing the chant was an “immediate dagger that went through my heart.”
“My wife, Wolf, is a two-time historical black college and university graduate, as a former minister we have worked years in the inner cities,” Walker said. “The minority communities that value or put a little bit of trust and value in what we’re trying to do in Washington, I immediately thought of those folks.”
I do not want to support in any way, shape or fashion, a phrase that for decades has been represented to hurt people in minority communities,” he added.
When CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer asked Walker about Trump’s continued attacks on the four progressive congresswomen Trump has targeted with racist rhetoric, the North Carolina Republican declined to say whether he thought the lawmakers loved America.
“These were duly elected members of Congress,” Blitzer pressed. “Even if you strongly disagree with them, even if you strongly criticize the words they’re saying, you really can’t question, though, whether or not they love the United States of America?”
“I think it’s very difficult to make that perspective sometimes just based on the language,” Walker said.
The CNN anchor also asked Walker what he would want to see if such a chant broke out again at one of Trump’s rallies, and Walker said he hoped the president “would condemn it immediately.”
Blitzer continued to press Walker — a former baptist minister — on Trump’s rhetoric aimed at the four congresswomen, and concluded the interview by reading scripture.
“During the 2016 presidential election, Walker called some of Republican nominee Donald Trump's remarks "morally reprehensible" and condemned Trump's lewd remarks about women as "vile." Nevertheless, Walker still backed Trump over his Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton. After the election, Walker expressed support for incoming president Trump on the issues of taxes and education, but said he could not stand behind Trump's statements about a registry tracking Muslim Americans.”
The right people have been offended by Trump since early in his campaign, especially the “consistent conservative” FReaks here.
Lighten up Marky. There were no knives at the rally. Probably just a case of heartburn from too many burritos.
Then Mr Marker is obviously not even close to a real Republican and he should come out of the closet, bend over, and assume the position as a registered Dimbulbcrat.
Shove it, marker. Shove it often. Shove it deep.
But keep shoving, *sshat.
Should have been a real dagger through his heart so a real representative with real nuts could properly represent his district.
“immediate dagger that went through my heart.”
A prime example of virtue signalling, meaning that he is of such a pure and exalted heart, that it hurts him to the very core of his being; unlike the rest of us deplorables and irredeemables and grunting cavemen who thought it was funny.
Didn’t bother me. I don’t want people here whose sole intent is to harass and obstruct a President with good policies. I don’t want people here who constantly try to deceive our citizens into believing that socialism is a good idea . . . or who fuel victimization as a means to Marxist revolution . . . or immigration of terrorist Islamists . . . or criminal illegal immigrants . . . or advocate for open borders. These people hate our country and want to destroy it. Damn right!!!!! Send them back . . . YESTERDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Plus it wasn’t a chant directed at all immigrants, most immigrants or even many immigrants. It was directed at a single America hating POS who has no more right to be here than Adolph Eichmann.
This eunuch should stop using gender-specific nouns and pronouns to describe himself.
Even if Trump made a mis-step, he should be on his knees thanking God that Trump is the ONLY one keeping him from incarceration such as we are witnessing in Canada when pastors speak Biblical Truth.
Will it bother you less, Congressman, when the Democrats take permanent power, change the Constitution, then create policies that will ship your children back “to where they came from” or, in substitution, a permanent domestic concentration camp? Save this country, damn it, otherwise what I just wrote will come to fruition!
Good point.
“My wife, Wolf”
What a strange first name.
Fixed.
Yes you can, Wolfie. That particular district is full of America haters imported mainly from a $#*+hole sandbox where we should never gotten involved.
First generation Cubans who escaped Castro and Vietnamese who were rescued from Communism show a little bit of gratitude to their host country. Somalis? Not so much.
I don’t know...
I think open borders IS the “real Republican” position.
She must have gotten rejected by all the good schools she applied to.
Says it all.
