In the few remaining days where Trump's controversial tweets will still be talked about, you must be able to appreciate when someone delivers a spot-on burn. Louisiana Republican Senator John Kennedy nailed it last night while appearing on Tucker Carlson Tonight on Fox News . "I don't think President Trump is a racist. I don't think his original tweet was racist. I think it was a poor choice of words, which is why he clarified," Kennedy said, pointing out that Trump has since said that anyone who hates America is free to leave. "I'm not sure the president should exchange...

Horrible. And the neo-Nazi Democrat party refused tot pass a resolution against antisemitism. LIST OF RACIST STATEMENTS BY MEMBERS OF THE ‘SQUAD’ (SO FAR) PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP TWEETED TUESDAY THAT “I DON’T HAVE A RACIST BONE IN MY BODY!” AND CHALLENGED HIS CRITICS TO “GET A LIST OF THE HORRIBLE THINGS” THAT THE FOUR DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSWOMEN OF THE SO-CALLED “SQUAD” HAVE SAID.

In the new nation that Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota seeks to create, the "capitalist system" will be left behind in pursuit of a "fair and just economy" where the federal government guarantees everybody jobs, housing, health care and free abortions. How can we know this? She has declared it in writing. Omar's campaign website includes a section called "Ilhan's Vision." The agenda it presents contradicts foundational American principles -- particularly the rights to life and property -- that were spelt out in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. The declaration says that "all men are created equal"...

Rashida Tlaib revived the group's feud with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Warned Pelosi to 'acknowledge the fact that we are women of color' Also called Trump 'the biggest bully I've ever had to deal with' Trump reacted on Tuesday night to house vote condemning his tweets 'So great to see how unified the Republican Party...

Louisiana Republican Senator John Kennedy defended President Donald Trump from accusations of racism stemming from a series of tweets, then blasted the four members of the “so-called ‘Squad'” as “whack jobs” who are “destroying the Democratic Party.”

Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) filed articles of impeachment against President Trump on Tuesday under a process that will force a House floor vote by the end of this week. Loading... Green introduced his articles of impeachment after the House passed a resolution largely along party lines condemning Trump for suggesting that four progressive freshman congresswomen of color - Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.), Ayanna Pressley (Mass.), Ilhan Omar (Minn.) and Rashida Tlaib (Mich.) - "go back" to their countries. Green said that the House should go beyond condemning Trump and move to remove him from office. It will be the third...

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was booed after attempting to shame lawmakers into supporting the House Democrats’ resolution to condemn what they consider “racist” tweets from President Trump, arguing that anything less would be “a shameful abdication” of their oath of office to “protect the American people.” The speaker railed against Trump during Tuesday’s debate on the House floor, promising that her caucus would continue to respond to the “disrespect” aimed at the fundamental diversity of America. She accused the president of legitimizing and increasing “fear” and “hatred” against people of color and attempted to shame lawmakers who are dismissing the...

President Donald Trump's playground taunt Sunday that "the Squad" of four new radical liberal House Democrats, all women of color, should "go back and help fix the totally broken and crime-infested places from which they came," dominated Monday morning's headlines. Yet those headlines smothered the deeper story. The Democrats are today using language to describe their own leaders that is similar to the language of the 1960s radicals who denounced Democratic segregationist governors like Ross Barnett and George Wallace. Consider what the four women have been saying. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has accused Speaker Nancy Pelosi of attacking "newly elected women of...

Support for U.S. President Donald Trump increased slightly among Republicans after he lashed out on Twitter over the weekend in a racially charged attack on four minority Democratic congresswomen, a Reuters/Ipsos public opinion poll shows. The national survey, conducted on Monday and Tuesday after Trump told the lawmakers they should “go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came,” showed his net approval among members of his Republican Party rose by 5 percentage points to 72%, compared with a similar poll that ran last week. Trump, who is seeking re-election next year, has...

During a week in which President Donald Trump called out at least three U.S. lawmakers over their anti-Semitism and outsized praise of militant Islam, the Justice Department has quietly launched a probe of what officials say is a rising tide of Jewish hatred around the country. As reported by the Washington Free Beacon, the DoJ sponsored a day-long event on Tuesday to examine cases of rising anti-Semitism — in Democrat-run American cities, on Leftist college and university campuses, and in other places: The Trump administration is working on multiple fronts to investigate and combat a rising tide of anti-Semitism in...

The House voted 240-187 on Tuesday night to officially condemn racist language from President Donald Trump in a motion that was supported by four House Republicans. Trump on Sunday directed a series of tweets at Democratic Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, Illhan Omar and Ayanna Pressley, saying the four congresswomen of color should "go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came." Ahead of Tuesday's resolution, different members of Congress, including some Republican lawmakers, criticized the President's rhetoric and condemned it as racist, but Trump has stood by the attacks, saying, "I don't...

Former Texas Court of Criminal Appeals Judge Elsa Alcala, a longtime Republican, typically avoids politics on social media but broke that practice on Monday to denounce President Donald Trump, “for my own conscience,” she wrote on Facebook. Trump “is the worst president in the history of this country,” said her Facebook post. The president has an ideology of racism, the judge wrote, adding she couldn’t say anything positive that would absolve Trump of his “rotten core.” “I have been thinking about this for years and I hoped things would get better but they never did,” Alcala told Texas Lawyer. “I...

What Trump ACTUALLY tweeted: "So interesting to see "Progressive" Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came here from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere into the world (if they even have a functioning government at all),now loudly and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run. Why don't they go back and HELP fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come on back and show us. how it is done, These...

When President Trump tweeted on Sunday that "'Progressive' Democratic Congresswomen" — an apparent reference to Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar and Ayanna Pressley, who are all women of color — should "go back" to their countries, the backlash was swift. It also sparked another conversation: What makes something racist? Ibram Kendi, a professor and director of the Antiracist Research and Policy Center at American University, joined "CBS This Morning" to address that question from a historical perspective and discuss whether racist actions or words make someone a racist. Kendi explained the important historical context behind telling a person...

The Democratic Party bears little resemblance to the themes Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton embraced in the 2008 primaries. The parameters of marriage — “between a man and woman,” in Obama’s words — have now transmogrified beyond gay civil unions to legal gay marriage to transgendered fixations. Obama once protested that he was no king who could open the border and grant amnesties by fiat. Yet his view of immigration has metamorphosed well beyond Dreamers into Democratic candidates going into Mexico to escort aliens unlawfully into our country — and 500 sanctuary jurisdictions in which federal immigration law is all...

So great to see how unified the Republican Party was on today’s vote concerning statements I made about four Democrat Congresswomen. If you really want to see statements, look at the horrible things they said about our Country, Israel, and much more. They are now the top, most... ....visible members of the House Democrats, who are now wedded to this bitterness and hate. The Republican vote was 187-4. Wow! Also, this was the first time since 1984 that the Speaker of the House was ruled Out of Order and broke the Rules of the House. Quite a day!

**SNIP** Democrats have been calling for elimination of ICE for nearly a year. In the past few months, their rhetoric about the agency has escalated and a number of members have referred to ICE agents as Nazis. When asked about the attack Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, who has called for elimination of the Department of Homeland Security, didn't want to talk about it. And neither does her pal AOC, who started the Nazi talk. And Ayanna Pressley too. Their silence is telling.

Seeking to wring every possible ounce of political advantage from President Trump's recent tweets about The Squad, Nicolle Wallace has suggested that Trump would have "blood on his hands" if one of them were to be attacked. On her MSNBC show Tuesday afternoon, Wallace interviewed Rep. Karen Bass, Chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, and began by asking whether Trump's words posed a "danger." When Bass said she did and that she was "seriously worried about the lives" of the Squad members, Wallace then took things an ugly step further, saying: "I just want to get you on the record...

President Donald Trump may have finally met his match: The Squad. The famously foul-mouthed President on Sunday launched yet another Twitter tirade, saying that the four congresswomen, known as The Squad -- US Reps. Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Tlaib -- should "go back" to the countries they came from. All four are US citizens, and three were born in the United States (Omar is a refugee from Somalia who spent part of her life in a Kenyan refugee camp). But the women haven't backed down. Nor have they responded with platitudes or undeserved tact. Instead, they've...

With his latest round of attacks on four first-year members of Congress who are women of color, President Trump has once again touched the raw nerve of racism in American life. He has also tapped into one of the oldest strains in our politics — the fear and vilification of immigrants and their descendants. Although three of the four women were born in the United States, the president said they should all "go back" where they came from. That phrase has echoed down generations of nativist discourse as successive waves of newcomers have been targeted by individuals, groups and even...
