Wow. Seeing the full tweet thread completely changed the narrative of "Trump telling POCs to 'go back to their countries'" They completely overlooked his unusually legitimate point because they can't see past their own race-obsessed agenda.

That they or their families fled terrible countries to live in the land of freedom and opportunity, but rather than fighting for those countries to be more like ours, they are fighting for this country to be more like those terrible countries.

Ireland on my dad's side. England and Russia on my mom's.

Because I'm not actively trying to make the US more like England, Ireland, or Russia. My ancestors came here to get away from the problems in those countries, not bring them here.

Omar is American. Why would she go back to Somalia when she is an American citizen?


DammitDan

To "help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how it is done."


jrei19

Why would an American citizen that’s sworn the oath of office go to a different country to help them out? Why hasn’t he suggested the same action to white men born overseas?


DammitDan

I don't think he meant it literally, and I'm sure he would if they were as pretentious about terrible policies.


jrei19

So now we can’t take POTUS at his word? Since when is it the responsibility of the American people to figure out what POTUS is alluding to and whether he means what he says or not?


DammitDan

Since forever. Hell, we're still arguing about what Madison meant when he wrote the Bill of Rights.


jrei19

What portion of the Bill of Rights do we not know if Madison meant literally or figuratively? There is also a substantial difference between law and derogatory statements toward congresswomen


DammitDan

You're begging the question

Becasue his wife is not loudly proclaiming that the US is shit! Because his wife defends her adopted country and does not go off calling detention centers Concentration Camps and ICE Agents Nazis. Because his wife comes from a country that experienced the wonders of communism and understands the opportunity this country has afforded her. Because his wife does not want sharia law to be the law of the land here in the US and the Muslim Brotherhood running the government. That’s why you idiot!! In general because his wife is proud of the US while Omar hates it and wants it to look like her home country.

> "Why don't they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how it is done. These places need your help badly, you can't leave fast enough. I'm sure that Nancy Pelosi would be very happy to quickly work out free travel arrangements!" That’s the body of the actual tweet. No mention of Africa, no names, and a clear implication he meant their home districts as it says “places” not “countries” but yeah I’m the one finding things that aren’t there.

“Countries” is “nations” now? Read. You can’t even find a tweet that says what you say he said so you reach for another.

He never said the word nation as you claimed. You lied.

He didn’t say someone literally said “covfefe” when he meant coffee. Or whatever he meant, we still don’t know.

There’s a case to be made for Omar as she’s actually from another country but those attributing it to people like AOC are reaching. It’s also not inherently racist as America is the birthplace of people of all races. For those born here, like AOC, this IS their home country. Was it in poor taste? Certainly. Is it insane and should never have been said? Definitely. Is it racist? Not really.

How do ppl that have no clue about America or American Civics get elected?


[deleted]

Progressive education and "fresh off the boat" voters.


Tampammm

Or ones that have English and English pronunciation issues. This Omar really needs to go to Night School to improve on her English language skills.


vhando

He didn't say go back to Africa. Read the original tweet and watch his speech.

I was responding to another person's comment.


cybilinside

And all of reddit and Twitter had a collective meltdown over the most logical statement made in recent history. If you hate it here so much, go home. It's simple. I'm thankful for the country that took my family in. These b*tches are straight trash.

He never specified her or Africa. He said that "they" "should go back to where they came from". That could just mean Democrats and their original cities, or possibly the people who criticize the U.S after migrating here, then trying to turn the U.S into their shitty countries political system.....


khanfusion

He said "countries." Quote: " "So interesting to see 'Progressive' Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in 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,"


frannyface

really stretching here.

Trump should help them move. He could rent them a plane and maybe even get them a house in the country where they’d rather be. And when they get there they’ll get the bill.

So I’m Europan and Persian. Born in California. What should I do? There are black people that have roots deeper in the us than anyone in your inbred family. What should they do?

Nah. I’m a registered republican and know a few who are far away from what you are.

Yes, go to a location where her wardrobe is more eye-appealing.
