Saying no
Setting aside the fact that these four congresswomen are American citizens and three were born in Ohio, Michigan and New York – there are few statements in this country that invoke its long, deep and hateful history of racism more than “Go back to…” pic.twitter.com/DiMTOI9a10

These Congresswomen are my fellow Americans. They’re from America. I don’t have to agree with every single thing they say to deeply appreciate their service to this country in a deeply troubled time. https://t.co/RXmbmoqyKY

When Trump tells 4 Congresswomen to "go back to their countries" (of the 4 — AOC, Tlaib, Omar and Pressley — only Omar is an immigrant) he reaffirms that his plan to 'Make America Great Again' is about making America white again. Below contemptible. https://t.co/ylaq4dOK7w

The President of the United States telling minority AMERICAN Congresswomen to go back to the countries they came from? This is a new, terrible, racist, sad low, even for Trump. https://t.co/feIZKNerrJ

Of course three of the four Democratic Congresswomen whom Trump is attacking were born in the United States. The other came here at age 10. https://t.co/MoBsYaT4aR

NOW can we start the impeachment hearings? Finally?
How about Herr Drumpf goes back to the country he “came from”?
Never mind the inaccuracy of calling them all immigrants, this is a white supremacist line, word for word, no mask.
(Not that I’m saying his mask was convincing to begin with…)
Peter N – I suggested that on Twitter. I added that it would be unfair to Germany but great for us.
At least he got the part about their governement of the home country of three of them right. The worst, most corrupt, catastrophically inept government anywhere in the world.
Speaking as a newly-minted resident of Germany, I can tell you that he is very much not welcome here. Maybe Scotland will take him.
@Seth,
As someone who secretly hopes to get sent “back” to Scotland some day, I hope not. Maybe Jupiter will take him.
Seth, WaM, you sound like divorcing parents arguing over custody of the kid, and neither of you want the little shit.
AoS: That sounded like an offer of mediation. Maybe you can take the maundering mandarin to the Kuiper Belt.
AoS,
I wouldn’t wish him on anyone. If we’re not going to exile him to space, perhaps there’s an uninhabited Pacific island that is slowly losing the fight against rising sea levels.
Put him on an atoll. Then name it “No Brains Atoll”.
I laughed.
Well, that was nice of him to unwittingly admit that USA is totally broken and crime infested. Freud would have a field day with him.
Also, Drumpf can’t go back to where he came from, because his Gramps was told to stay the fuck out after he abandoned his country.
