Reps. Katherine Clark of Massachusetts and Luis Gutierrez of Illinois only made that statement in order to distract people from focusing on their own bigotry and hatefulness.

It won’t work, though.

Luis Gutierrez of Illinois is an open-borders, anti-American zealot who should be stripped of his US citizenship and deported to the interior of Mexico.

I have a feeling that the MSM will have more shots of those two and the BO’s than President Trump.

I do truly hope that Cheney is front and center and BO has to look straight at him.....

Trying to discuss this with any liberal:

"Trump said something! He said something racist and sexist and homophobic! Oh my God, the humanity! He said something!"

"What did he say?"

"He....he said...he said something! My God, it was so awful! I can't believe all of those flyover rednecks supported him! What a joke!"

"But what did he say?"

"He hates women! He hates minorities! He wants to put gays in camps! He is so disgusting!"

But what did he say?"

"That psychotic Cheeto is going to kill all of us! You should hear what he said! It's unbelievable!"

"But what did he say?"

"It was just unbelievable! America is doomed! This fascist is going to ruin everything!""

Shouldn’t the NYTimes headline read...
“Representative Katherine Clark of Massachusetts becomes FIRST WOMAN Representative to boycott Inauguration”?

That’s the NYTimes ‘thing’ after all.
