I'd encourage everyone to read Rep. Malinowski's resolution: "Condemning President Trump's racist comments directed at members of Congress." He wrote on Twitter, "Do we embrace President Reagan's vision of an America made stronger by immigrants and refugees, or President Trump's message of fear?" Rep. Stefanik has aligned with the current president in voting against the resolution and has smeared her fellow congresswomen as "far-left socialists." Handing out billions to farmers hurt by ill-advised tariffs seems socialist to me. The four-woman "Squad" is working to confront climate change, income inequality and inhumanity towards people who are simply seeking a better life. It's possible to disagree with their solutions without taunts. If Ms. Stefanik likes labels, she should try out demagogue wherever appropriate. Mr. Trump has lied about Rep. Omar's statements on al-Qaeda whom she has actually called evil and heinous. His followers are now chanting "send her back." Is there any concern about her safety in the GOP?

It's risible that the president presents himself as a
champion for the Jewish people in this episode. Jonathan Greenblatt of the ADL
writes of the slurs against the four congresswomen that they are "ripped
straight from a white supremacist manifesto" and "the charge that one
can't possibly be accepted as a full-fledged member of society because of who
you are is one that is all too familiar to Jews." Andrew Anglin of Daily
Stormer writes of the tweets, "This is the kind of WHITE NATIONALISM we
elected him for." For a non-racist, racists like him a lot. Oh, and
despite this, no one has forgotten that he's trying to take away our health
insurance.
A few days back, the acting president announced, "I don't have a racist bone in my body". We ponder that all his bones are
ReplyDeleteracist, including his yuuuuge bone spurs.
Possibly he doesn't consider his head to be part of his body. Seems to keep a lot of racism there.
ReplyDeleteThat's a letter to the editor. I'll link to my local paper when it runs. Probably tomorrow. I know Trump isn't going to win NY. I'd love to see my upstate, rightwing, Trump-enabling congresswoman beaten. In 2018, she ran with Cuomo on the ballot and it's likely, to me anyway, that the Cuomo-hate drove a lot of people to the ballot. She's going to be running against the same Dem candidate, who's quite good, this time. With the Trumpenfuhrer on the ballot. We'll see what happens. Optimism is cheap.
