Associated Press ^ | 07/15/2019 | Staff

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.

This is their country sure, but they don’t act like they appreciate it...

The "Squad" could return to their distant countries, successfully run for office—as they did in the USA—and criticize their political predecessors to re-engineer their respective countries.

I think that's what President Trump meant to leave as a message to America.

Agree....enough. For years, GOP did not respond and Dems, far left AND media walked all over them. Now we have people in the U.S. Congress who want socialism, want non citizens to vote, want open borders....yet Americans returning from foreign countries must go through Customs....free schools/meds/ins etc for people here ILLEGALLY, etc.

Enough! GOP phones should be flooded with calls of support for POTUS.

Didn’t Cortez’s descendant claim birthright possession of the Western hemisphere? Not just that she was born in the territory, but that imperialist invaders claimed that which was not theirs to take?

The self-appointed democratic socialist also stated, as she’s done in the past, that Puerto Rico is a colony and referred to the United States as the colonizer, making the U.S. unqualified to make the decision.

The solution: Her proposed binding plebescite, which would allow residents on the island to vote.

“In my opinion, we should be approaching a process of binding self-determination where we honor and implement the result of a plebiscite no matter what they are, without pre-conditions, because that is how you wrap up this whole historical inequity in a just way,” she said.

Ocasio-Cortez Tells Hawaii Dems Her Life Shaped By ‘Unaddressed History of Imperialism’

Democratic-Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who, as Breitbart News reported, was born in the Bronx and raised in the affluent suburb of Westchester, told Hawaii Democrats on Thursday evening that her life has been shaped by “an unaddressed history of imperialism and poverty.”
Ocasio-Cortez was campaigning for Hawaii Democratic congressional candidate Kaniela Ing ahead of this weekend’s primary election and argued that Hawaii felt like a “kindred home” because she also comes “from a place of colonized people.”

She told the crowd that her mother was from Puerto Rico and many of her family members still live there before claiming that she and Ing were “shaped by the exact same forces” like “runaway income inequality, an unaddressed history of imperialism, and poverty.”

She added that Puerto Ricans and Hawaiians still have to deal “with the consequences of those struggles.”

As far as I’m concerned - born here or not - they can still leave.

Some journalist was attacking President Trump while he was speaking demanding that he condemn alleged neo-nazi groups retweeting his tweets this weekend.

How queer that Ms. Idiot Omar has been recently championed by David Duke (D-KKK) for her comments against Israel and Jews.

Former KKK Grand Wizard David Duke heaps praise on Rep. Ilhan Omar
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/mar/7/david-duke-praises-rep-ilhan-omar/
By Victor Morton - The Washington Times - Thursday, March 7, 2019

In a Thursday podcast at his site, the former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard spoke out strongly in favor of the Muslim Congresswoman who has accused Jewish lawmakers of dual loyalty, attributed support for Israel to foreign money, and said Israel has “hypnotized” the world.

“By defiance to Z.O.G. Ilhan Omar is NOW the most important Member of the US Congress!” Mr. Duke wrote on his site, using the acronym for “Zionist Occupation Government,” a term anti-Semites use to refer to the U.S. government as secretly controlled by Jews.

OK, I was defending him for a while.

I was wrong. This guy is a little punk.

Where do we get a Speaker with a brain.

Has Mark Meadows or Jim Jordan disappointed yet.

That’s not the quote I see.

Is it too much to ask for members of Congress to stop slandering those who serve on the border trying to protect this nation against an onslaught of illegal immigration?

There does not appear to be vetting for public officials-even ENEMY OF STATE. Perhaps idiot Kevin McCarty needs to shut his mouth and put forward a vetting bill. I’m sick of this PC BS!

When the Republicans re-take the House in 2020, they had better find someone else to be the speaker instead of this California RINO-turd Kevin McCarthy.

If they’re Americans why don’t they want to be called Americans, rather than Latinas of Afro-Americans?
