thehill.com/homenews/house/453090-pelosi-announces-house-resolution-to-condemn-trump-comments?__twitter_impression=trueSpeaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Monday urged House Democrats to support a resolution to condemn President Trump for tweeting that four Democratic congresswomen of color should "go back" to their countries, even though all are U.S. citizens. "The House cannot allow the President’s characterization of immigrants to our country to stand. Our Republican colleagues must join us in condemning the President’s xenophobic tweets," Pelosi wrote in a letter to House Democrats announcing a "forthcoming" resolution from Reps. Tom Malinowski (D-N.J.), who was born in Poland, Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), and other Democratic members who were born abroad. Has he asked Pelosi to go back to her country? How about some other congresswoman? Why just these three? Are you intellectually blind? Don't answer, rhetorical question. And AOC was out of line, playing her usual identity politics bullshit when she called Pelosi a racist. Here, she would be right. #1: No, but then again, neither he nor his Chief of Staff have accused the Speaker of being a racist, a woman of being sexist, their party as racist,(being called out by the black caucus), etc either. #2: Might be due to them being the most vocal & consistent in their disdain of America, Israel, etc. #3: Nope. Are you,(would appear your bias is blinding you)? #4: This is just them playing more identity politics as they are looking for racism when none exists,(sort of like how they’ve been calling him that & more since he announced he was running).

www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/07/15/donald-trump-triples-down-if-youre-not-happy-here-then-you-can-leave/amp/President Donald Trump is not backing down from calling on progressive Congresswomen critical of the U.S. to move out of the country, saying in a speech Monday, “If you’re not happy here, then you can leave.” If you’re not happy here, then you can leave,” President Trump said, prompting cheers from the audience at a planned “Made in America” event at the White House. “As far as I’m concerned, if you hate our country, if you’re not happy here, you can leave.” “But if you’re happy in the U.S., if you’re complaining all the time, very simply you can leave, you can leave right now. Come back if you want, don’t come back, that’s okay too. But if you’re not happy, you can leave,” he added. The president appears to have been once again referenced Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), who in a series of Sunday tweets, seemingly told to “go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came.” President Trump responded to questions from reporters, this time dishing out more specific criticism directed at Omar and Ocasio-Cortez. “Somebody that comes from Somalia, which is a failed government, a failed state, who left Somalia and ultimately came here and now is a congresswoman, is never happy,” said the president. “[She] says horrible things about Israel, hates Israel, hates Jews, hates Jews, it’s very simple.” The president also seemingly referenced how Omar once joked about how one of her professors would say “Al-Qaeda” in a serious tone. He also recounted how the Minnesota Democrat downplayed the September 11th, 2001, terror attacks during a speech before CAIR earlier this year. President Trump then turned his attention to Ocasio-Cortez’s fierce opposition to recent plans by Amazon to build an expansive corporate campus in New York City. “If the Democrats want to wrap their bows around this group of four people — one of them kept Amazon out of New York, tens of thousands of jobs. Would have been a great thing and she kept Amazon from going,” the president said. “Tens of thousands of jobs and New York has not been the same since that happened.” President Trump’s comments come after he re-upped on his criticisms of the “squad” Sunday evening, stating it was “sad” that Democrats rushed to the defense of the far-left congresswomen who frequently disparage the U.S. “So sad to see the Democrats sticking up for people who speak so badly of our Country and who, in addition, hate Israel with a true and unbridled passion. Whenever confronted, they call their adversaries, including Nancy Pelosi, ‘RACIST,’” the president wrote on Twitter. “Their disgusting language and the many terrible things they say about the United States must not be allowed to go unchallenged,” he added. “If the Democrat Party wants to continue to condone such disgraceful behavior, then we look even more forward to seeing you at the ballot box in 2020!” Democrats exploded over President Trump’s comments about the progressive lawmakers. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) called the president’s tweets “xenophobic, while 2020 Democrat candidates responded by calling them “racist,” “disgusting,” and “un-American.”

And lastly it isn't these women that are playing the race card in this particular instance. Its anyone with a modicum of fairness and rationality. Shows me everything I need to know. He also,(in the very same tweet), asked these ladies to return to “show us how it’s done”. Hmmm, real racist to ask someone to fix their own issues,(countries immigrated from,(themselves or parents, etc). and then return to show Americans how it’s done. Again, your bias is showing. A brief flashback: Tlaib infamously stated of Trump on her first night as a member of Congress, “We’re gonna go in there and we’re gonna impeach the mother***er.” Pressley has openly called for Trump’s impeachment; Ocasio-Cortez has called for the elimination of the Department of Homeland Security, which includes Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), as well as claimed that members of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) were trying to sabotage “my account” of what transpires at the border; Omar has said of immigration agencies, “We should be having a conversation about eliminating their existence." Tlaib has used the age-old vicious stereotype that Jews have dual loyalties; Tlaib and Omar have defended rocket attacks launched on Israel by Hamas terrorists in Gaza. Tlaib has lied about Jewish history in order to delegitimize the state of Israel. Ocasio-Cortez has even been slammed by New York Governor Andrew Cuomo for her likening the situation at the southern border to the infamous concentration camps where Nazis killed millions of Jews. Congressman Graham stated it best: As as long as they,(& yourself since you support them), hate President Trump, America, her ally in Israel, etc then you & those like you will gladly turn a blind eye & justify whatever these communists say/do for that. And you have the audacity to preach righteous indignation? Comical.

The squad holds a press conference:
Rep. Ilhan Omar: Right now the president is committing human rights abuses at the border, keeping children in cages and having human beings drinking out of toilets… This is a president who has said, “Grab women by the pussy.” This is a president who’s called black athletes “sons of bitches.”

Curious that Representative Omar refused to answer if she was pro Al-Qaeda or not. Wonder why she did that,(along with bypassing questions/comments about the marriage to her brother & potential tax fraud)?

Rep. Ilhan Omar and Massachusetts Democratic Rep. Ayanna Pressley about the attack after a Monday press conference, but both refused to answer the question if they condemned the attack.
Pressley’s staffer told The Daily Caller “the congresswoman said all of her remarks during the press conference,” while waiting next to Pressley at an elevator in the Capitol.

That was quite the shitshow.
Levin brought up that maybe Trump is finally tired of this bullshit. I can see that. He also pointed out that Trump was disagreeing with their ideologies and not their background, sex, whatever. After what should have been a great few days he's going to have to wait this out.

amp.dailycaller.com/2019/07/15/squad-trump-press-conference“The squad” held a press conference Monday afternoon to address tweets by President Donald Trump telling them to “go back and help fix” their home countries. The tweets sparked outrage among Democrats, and Republicans condemned the comments as well. All four took the podium Monday to discuss the conditions at the border and denounce Trump and his comments. Democratic Reps. Ayanna Pressley, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar, known as “the squad,” held a press conference Monday to discuss President Donald Trump’s tweets that told them to go back to their own countries. Trump tweeted Sunday that “‘Progressive’ Democrat Congresswomen” should “go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how it’s done.” The tweets sparked outrage among Democrats, particularly “the squad,” whom the tweets were likely about. Shortly before the press conference, Trump tweeted that the four congresswomen are “anti-Israel, pro Al-Qaeda.” He has continued to defend his remarks despite pushback from Democrats and Republicans. “I will always refer to him [Trump] as the occupant as he is only occupying space,” Pressley of Massachusetts said at the presser. “He does not embody the grace, the empathy, the compassion, the integrity that that office requires and that the American people deserve.” “Our squad is big. Our squad includes any person committed to building a more equitable and just world,” Pressley continued. Omar of Minnesota took a more aggressive stance against the president, calling him out for alleged human rights abuses at the border. He is allowing “millions of Americans to die from a lack of health care,” she said, referring to Trump’s agenda as that of “white nationalists.” “Right now the president is committing human rights abuses at the border, keeping children in cages, and having human beings drinking out of toilets,” Omar said Monday. “This president, who has been credibly accused of committing multiple crimes, including colluding with foreign government to interfere with our election.” “This is a president who has overseen the most corrupt administration in our history and pursued an agenda to allow millions of Americans to die from a lack of health care while he transfers millions of dollars in tax cuts to corporations. This is a president who has said ‘grab women by the pussy,'” she added. “So it is time for us to stop allowing this president to make a mockery out of our Constitution,” Omar said. “It’s time for us to impeach this president.” Ocasio-Cortez of New York stepped up to the podium next, announcing that Trump “violates international human rights” by taking “thousands of children away from their families.” “And so we’ll stay focused on our agenda, and we won’t get caught slippin’, because all of this is a distraction,” Ocasio-Cortez said Monday. “It’s a distraction from what’s most important and from our core values as American citizens.” Last up was Tlaib of Michigan, who thanked her “sisters in service.” Tlaib said Trump’s comments were a “continuation of his racist xenophobic play book” and that she supports impeachment of the president. “This means supporting an impeachment inquiry of this president and his actions by the administration and his appointees,” Tlaib said. “Sadly, this is not the first nor will it be the last time we hear disgusting bigoted language from the president. We know this is who he is. And we know that he and his administration are constantly engaged in actions that harm residents and American people in our country.” “The squad” then took questions from reporters. One asked Omar about the recent comments by Trump that she is a Communist and pro al-Qaeda. Omar said she would not dignify it with a response. (RELATED: Ilhan Omar Blows Off Al-Qaeda, Mocks Americans For Fearing Them In Recently Surfaced Video) “And so I will not dignify it with an answer, because I know that every single Islamaphobe, every single person who is hateful, who is driven by an ideology of other-ing as this president is, rejoices in us responding to that,” Omar responded. Ocasio-Cortez said: This president operates in complete bad faith. He does not operate in good faith, and so that’s one thing. But second to the previous question as well, weak minds and leaders challenge loyalty to our country in order to avoid challenging and debating the policy. He [Trump] does not know how to defend his policies. So what he does is attack us personally. And that is what this is all about.

Hmmmm. Antifa thug who attacked the ICE facility and was killed used AOC’s rhetoric about “concentration camps”. Strangely, the MSM is being quiet about this. Wonder why? www.dailywire.com/news/49519/man-who-attacked-ice-facility-used-concentration-ryan-saavedraAccording to a local report, a man that authorities say attacked an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility in Tacoma, Washington over the weekend repeatedly used the same "concentration camp" rhetoric which socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) injected into U.S. politics last month, in a manifesto that he allegedly wrote. The attacker, whom The Daily Wire is not naming, identified himself as part of the far-left extremist group Antifa in the document, according to CBS-affiliate KIRO-7. The attacker "was armed with a rifle and incendiary devices that he was tossing at the Northwest Detention Center early Saturday morning." KIRO-7 adds: "Friends say he did make a statement in this manifesto he sent to them Friday night. In it he says, 'i regret that i will miss the rest of the revolution,' he wrote, 'doing what i can to help defend my precious and wondrous people is an experience too rich to describe. i am antifa.'" KIRO-7's report included a link to the manifesto, where the attacker used the term "concentration camps" four times and referred to them as being "corporate for profit." Ocasio-Cortez injected the rhetoric into the national political discussion last month after she made the dubious claim during an Instagram live video. The mainstream media's silence on the similarity between the rhetoric of the terrorist and the rhetoric of Ocasio-Cortez highlights a serious double-standard: in past instances, the media have quickly leapt to connect violent incidents with supposed incitement from Republicans. CNN, for example, ran multiple articles on its website suggesting that President Donald Trump's rhetoric was responsible for the white supremacist terror attacks on the synagogue in Pittsburgh and the mosque in New Zealand; CNN does not have a single report on their website about the "concentration camp" rhetoric that the attacker in Tacoma used in his manifesto. NBC News ran multiple reports suggesting Trump was responsible for the white nationalist terror attacks on the synagogue and the mosque, yet has no reports about the attack on the ICE detention facility and the "concentration camp" rhetoric that was used. "The United States is running concentration camps on our southern border and that is exactly what they are," Ocasio-Cortez outlandishly claimed weeks ago. "They are concentration camps. And, um, if that doesn't bother you, I don't, I don't know, I like, we can have, okay whatever." Ocasio-Cortez went on to directly compare the immigrant detention facilities to Nazi concentration camps when she used the term "Never Again" — a direct reference to the Holocaust. In an interview with The Daily Wire last month, attorney Matthew J. O’Brien — who has over 20 years of experience in immigration matters, including in high-level government positions — debunked Ocasio-Cortez's false claim that immigrant detention facilities are "concentration camps." "I think the point that Representative Ocasio-Cortez is missing is that a concentration camp typically refers to a detention facility where a totalitarian regime’s political enemies are kept and the purpose is to nullify them as political enemies," O’Brien said. "Internment camp is a general term that in international law and in typical usage refers to a place where people are held temporarily in a conflict because they are either from an enemy power, from a non-allied power, and there is some sort of national security concern or other internal security concern associated with them. Whereas, an immigration detention facility is where people are held pursuant to a democratically passed law because they have no authorization to be in the country and they are temporarily held there while the government is evaluating their claim to any kind of immigration relief and those facilities are regulated." "The distinction between a concentration camp, which is usually regulated by the totalitarian government’s security forces, an Internment facility, which is usually regulated by the military or by a paramilitary security force, and immigration detention, is that immigration detention is monitored by the courts and anyone who is in immigration detention has access to the courts to contest any issues they may have with the detention," O’Brien continued. "So to contrast between a totalitarian government using the force of the state to terrorize its political enemies, the temporary internment of people who represent a national security threat ... versus a legal process that is designed to protect the safety and security both of the United States and of the people coming into the country because one of the reasons why we detain people in immigration detention is to figure out who they are so we can vet them but also so that we can determine what their purpose is here."

www.dailywire.com/news/49524/meltdown-far-left-congresswomen-implode-press-ryan-saavedraFour far-left congresswomen held a press conference on Monday about recent tweets from President Donald Trump that they claimed were racist and, during the press conference, they proceeded to melt down, making multiple false statements and refusing to answer specific questions from reporters. Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), and Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) hosted the press conference to address recent attacks from Trump, who has highlighted their behavior and said they are anti-American. Omar made multiple false claims during the press conference, saying: "This is a president who has called black athletes 'sons of b*****s.' This is a president who has called people who come from black and brown countries 'sh--holes.' This is a president who has equated neo-Nazis with those who protest them." None of what Omar claimed is true. Trump referred to athletes who kneel during the national anthem as "sons-of-b*****s," not black athletes. Trump referred to certain countries as "sh-tholes," not black and brown people. Trump did not equate neo-Nazis with those who protest them, he specifically condemned them. Omar went on to claim that Trump was accused of criminally colluding with Russia to undermine the U.S. election, despite the fact that Special Counsel Robert Mueller stated in his report on his Russia investigation that the Trump campaign did not conspire with Russia. Omar also spread conspiracy theories, claiming without evidence that Trump was trying to promote “an agenda to allow millions of Americans to die from a lack of health care.” Omar also refused to deny that she was a communist and that she is pro-al-Qaeda, a question that emerged after footage of her emerged from 2013 where she laughed when talking about ISIS and al-Qaeda. Omar defended her past anti-Semitic remarks when pressed by a reporter on if her past comments gave legitimacy toTrump's criticisms against her. Omar said that everything she says comes "from a place of extreme love for every single person in this country." Pressley also made remarks that stirred controversy, as she refused to refer to Trump as the president, saying, “I will always refer to him as the occupant.” Ocasio-Cortez tried to claim that Trump was attacking them because he is not competent enough to defend his policies. Weak minds and leaders challenge loyalty to our country in order to avoid challenging and debating the policy," Ocasio-Cortez said. "This president does not know how to make the argument that Americans do not deserve health care. He does not know how to defend his policies, so what he does is attack us personally." Trump's attacks come as a new Democrat internal poll revealed that Ocasio-Cortez, Omar, and their socialist agenda are extremely unpopular in swing states, with voters only approving at 22%, 9%, and 18% respectively. In reaction to the poll, a top Democrat involved in the 2020 congressional races told Axios: "If all voters hear about is AOC, it could put the [House] majority at risk. he's getting all the news and defining everyone else’s races. Socialism is toxic to these voters."

amp.dailycaller.com/2019/07/15/jesse-watters-the-five-trump-racismSeveral Fox News hosts defended President Donald Trump against accusations of racism stemming from a series of weekend tweets. Trump’s Sunday tweets saying that far-left congresswomen should “go back” and fix the countries “they originally came from” were widely condemned as “racist” by Democrats and some Republicans. However, the president did have plenty of defenders, including “The Five” co-hosts Jesse Watters, Dan Bongino, and Greg Gutfeld, who all addressed the controversy during a Monday discussion. “Did you hear?” Gutfeld asked rhetorically to open the show. “Trump tweeted. Yeah, and the tweets are being called racist because Trump told critics of the U.S. to go back to their country.” Gutfeld noted that Trump’s tweets sound “bad if you leave out the rest of it. He actually said go back to your countries, fix the problems there, and then come back and show us how you did it. How many racists say please come back and help us? Probably zero.” While taking issue with the verbiage and “details” of Trump’s tweets, “like only one of ‘The Squad’ is from somewhere else,” Gutfeld accused the media and Democrats of reading the tweets “with ill intent,” leaving his supporters the job of explaining. (RELATED: Former ICE Director Tom Homan Leaves Ocasio-Cortez Speechless On Immigration) “It’s like doing stand-up while your friends are sitting at the tables explaining your jokes,” he quipped. “Nobody wants to be called a racist, especially by these lunatics in the media,” said Bongino, who noted that several in “The Squad” have “actually said things that require no interpretation,” referring to Omar’s “all about the Benjamins” comment and others. Jessee Watters began his commentary by reading a text from his mother calling Trump’s tweets “racist.” “Mom’s not going to scare me off though,” he said. “These were not racist. It’s about patriotism. When did ‘love it or leave it’ become racist? Not only leave it, but ‘hey, come back and help us fix our problems.’ This country is so sensitive now. We are not talking about death, famine, drought, or anything. We are talking about a word, a tweet. We’re not even talking about an action and people are crying their eyes out over this.” Watters noted the horrible things said about Trump by his enemies who consider him “a Nazi rapist who deserves to be in prison for the rest of his life.” “He says go home and they say ‘oh my God, this is the biggest scandal since Watergate,'” said Watters. “These people are so bereft of actual ideas they create this thing because they’ve deceived the rest of the country as to actually what he said. He says this to everybody of all stripes and all genders, all parties. Romney, Rosie, Don Lemon, Maxine, McCabe. Everyone gets it a little bit below the belt and every time he does it everyone acts shocked like we haven’t been watching this for three years, and instead of fighting back on the substance, they cry and they pout and they look soft and they look weak.”

That's a very " Nazi " attitude Its funny how the people accusing Trump of being a Nazi, are more and more every day adapting Nazi ideology And they idolize Nazi sympathizers also. Antifa is becoming more Nazi , every day. They're tactics are exactly what was happening in 1930's Germany. They're trying to shut down free speech. I expect a book burning demonstration, any day now.

President Trump is,(once again), correct. The Democrats are scared to censor/punish the “Squad” because they fear the monster that they have created & do not wish for it to turn on themselves. www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/07/16/donald-trump-democrats-too-petrified-to-confront-anti-usa-pro-terrorist-squad/President Donald Trump on Tuesday said the far-left Democrat “Squad” has uttered some of the most “vile, hateful, and disgusting things” ever said by a lawmaker on Capitol Hill and party leadership is unwilling to take them one due to fear of the “radical left.” “The Democrat Congresswomen have been spewing some of the most vile, hateful, and disgusting things ever said by a politician in the House or Senate, & yet they get a free pass and a big embrace from the Democrat Party,” the president wrote on Twitter. “Horrible anti-Israel, anti-USA, pro-terrorist & public shouting of the F…word, among many other terrible things, and the petrified Dems run for the hills,” he added. President Trump concluded his pair of tweets by accusing Democrat leadership of being too afraid to reign in the progressive wing of the party. “Why isn’t the House voting to rebuke the filthy and hate laced things they have said? Because they are the Radical Left, and the Democrats are afraid to take them on. Sad!” he wrote. President Trump’s comments are the latest in a string of criticism against Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), and Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), who on Sunday the president said should leave the United States if their frequent attacks on the American experience persist. The president reiterated his position during a press conference Monday, saying “If you’re not happy here, then you can leave.” Democrats exploded over President Trump’s comments about the progressive lawmakers. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) called the president’s tweets “xenophobic, while 2020 Democrat candidates responded by calling them “racist,” “disgusting,” and “un-American.” In a Monday press conference on Capitol Hill, the four progressive lawmakers hit back at President Trump’s remarks. “Weak minds and weak leaders challenge loyalty to our country to avoid challenging and debating policy. This president does not know how to defend his policies, so what he does is attack us personally,” Ocasio-Cortez said In her remarks, Pressley (D-MA) refused to refer to President Trump of “president, instead calling him the “occupant of the White House.” “I will always refer to him as the occupant as he is only occupying space. It does not embody the grace, the empathy, the compassion, the integrity that that office requires and that the American people deserve,” she added. When it was her time at the podium, Omar called on the House to begin impeachment proceedings against President Trump. “I have not made impeachment central to my election or my tenure. But since the day that I’ve gotten elected, I’ve said to people, it is not — if he will be impeached, but when,” she said. “It is time for us to stop allowing this president to make a mockery out of our Constitution, it is time for us to impeach this president.

www.dailywire.com/news/49540/watch-liz-cheney-rips-progressive-democrats-molly-princeRepublican House Conference Chair Liz Cheney rebuked the progressive Democrats who frequently proclaim that their political opposition is bred from racial animus rather than difference in ideas. “Our opposition to our socialist colleagues has absolutely nothing to do with their gender, with their religion or with their race — it has to do with the content of their policies,” Cheney said during the weekly GOP leadership press conference on Tuesday. “They’re wrong when they attempt to impose the fraud of socialism on the American people,” she continued. “They’re wrong when they pursue policies that would steal power from the American people and give that power to the government.” Cheney, the third-ranking House Republican, has been an outspoken critic of socialism and has frequently emphasized the importance of standing in staunch opposition to an overbearing government. “They’re wrong when they rush to blame America first, when they fail to recognize that this is the greatest nation that has ever existed, the exceptional nation,” Cheney said. “They’re wrong when they fail to recognize that no people have ever lived in greater freedom, and then they go on and fail to provide the resources our men and women in uniform need to defend that freedom.” While abstaining from directly naming who she was reprimanding, the rebuke came only hours after four House Democrats, New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar, Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib and Massachusetts Rep. Aryanna Pressley held a press conference of their own. During the presser, the group of freshman, referred to as “the Squad,” attacked President Donald Trump for what they considered to be racist and sexist motives. Cheney also reiterated her condemnation of “vile anti-Semitism” that the freshman group has espoused on multiple occasions. Omar and Tlaib became America’s first Muslim congresswomen when sworn into office in January. Along with Ocasio-Cortez, the three progressive lawmakers have been embroiled in allegations of anti-Semitism and anti-American sentiments even prior to taking office. The Wyoming congresswoman has often butted heads with the trio. After Republican Texas Rep. Dan Crenshaw, a former Navy SEAL, took offense to Omar’s description of the September 11 terrorist attacks as merely an event where “some people did something,” Ocasio-Cortez accused Crenshaw of not caring about 9/11 victims. Cheney immediately called the incident “nauseating” and demanded a public apology, which never came. Ocasio-Cortez also tried to blame Cheney after she received widespread criticism for comparing Nazi concentration camps to illegal immigrant detention facilities. “They’re wrong when they say their programs help people at the lower end of the economic spectrum,” Cheney told the crowd during the press conference. “Every one of their socialist programs would create massive new government dependency and end the very economic growth we need to ensure everyone can prosper.” Listing the ‘Squad’s’ support for far-Left policies such as late-term abortion, eliminating the private health insurance market, abolishing the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), providing free healthcare to illegal immigrants, open borders and mandating a $15 minimum wage, Cheney contended “that is not compassion,” but rather a “callousness that’s born out of ignorance.” “Our colleagues are wrong when they tell Americans, as Congresswoman Pressley did just last weekend, that any individual seat at the table is only valuable, only legitimate, if that person espouses some preapproved set of beliefs deemed appropriate based on their religion or their gender or their race,” Cheney said. “When they say that, that is racist.” We opposed them and their policies because their policies are dangerous and wrong and would destroy America,” she added.

www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/07/16/louisiana-congressman-ill-pay-for-those-congresswomen-to-leave/Rep. Ralph Abraham (R-LA) said he would pay for the four progressive Democrat congresswomen President Donald Trump mentioned in a few tweets to leave the country. There’s no question that the members of Congress that @realdonaldtrump called out have absolutely said anti-American and anti-Semitic things. I’ll pay for their tickets out of this country if they just tell me where they’d rather be,” Abraham, who is running for governor, tweeted Sunday. Abraham was following up on Trump’s Sunday tweets telling a group of progressive Democrat lawmakers to “go back and help fix the totally broken and crime-infested places from which they came” before coming back to show the U.S. “how it is done.” Although Trump did not mention these congresswomen by name, his remarks caused many to point out the four members of Congress who had been disagreeing about whether to fund border security. The remarks came after Pelosi and four progressive freshman House Democrats— Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), and Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA)— had been disagreeing about whether to vote against an emergency spending bill that would fund border security which Pelosi backed. All the congresswomen are U.S.-born citizens except for Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), who came to the U.S. as a refugee from Somalia, the Associated Press reported. Trump’s comments evoked swift condemnation and criticism from many on the left, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Rep. Ilhan Omar (MN). “When @realdonaldtrump tells four American Congresswomen to go back to their countries, he reaffirms his plan to ‘Make America Great Again’ has always been about making America white again,” Pelosi tweeted Sunday. “Our diversity is our strength and our unity is our power.” “You are stoking white nationalism because you are angry that people like us are serving in Congress and fighting against your hate-filled agenda,” Omar, who was born in Somalia and came to the U.S. as a refugee with her family, tweeted. Newly independent Rep. Justin Amash (I-MI) also slammed Trump for his tweets. “To tell these American citizens (most of whom were born here) to ‘go back’ to the ‘crime-infested places from which they came’ is racist and disgusting,” Amash wrote.

www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/07/16/nolte-trumps-bold-truth-telling-about-the-squad-makes-free-speech-great-again/Is it President Trump’s fault the Four Harridans of the Dempocalypse are “women of color?” If you have enough of your own mind left after decades of being socialized by the media into believing everything is racist except actual racism, you are keenly aware that the media, Democrats, and Never Trump Cucks are acting as though it’s Trump’s fault The Jew-Hating Squad — which is made up of freshmen Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) — is a not a bunch of straight, white males. All Trump did, all he is guilty of is telling the truth about how horrible these women are — how they appease terrorists; how they smear America as a country filled with concentration camps; how they destroy tens of thousands of jobs in New York; how they’re raging antisemites who despise Jews; how they’re preening, wannabe dictators desperate for personal power through socialism; and how, yes, they are straight-up racists… But it is Trump who is attacked as a racist — even though, you know, he never mentioned race. Answer me this question: What race is he denigrating? I’m sorry, but Trump is not responsible for the color of another person’s skin. So what he is really doing is the least racist thing any American can do, which is to treat these villains as he would anyone else who holds their toxic beliefs. If you think Trump singles out only “people of color,” ask the straightest, squarest, lily-white males in the free world — ask Jeb Bush, Justin Amash, Bill Kristol, Joe Scarborough, Ben Sasse, Jeff Flake, Paul Ryan, and Mitt Romney about that. But, you see, in America today, we’re not supposed to tell the truth about the left, and that’s why the activist left and their castle guards in the media are so furious and frustrated with Trump. He cannot be cucked, and now that he’s told the truth about these lady-monsters, the media are beside themselves with impotent rage because not being able to cuck him like the rest of the GOP drives them all crazy. Here’s what we know… If the Four Harridans of the Dempocalypse were not “women of color,” another shriek would have been invented by the media to defend them from Trump. If they were four white guys but one was homosexual, Trump would be attacked as a homophobe. If one were Jewish, he’d be attacked as a Nazi. If one had a harelip, he’d be accused of mocking people with birth defects. And if none of that worked, if the Four Harridans of the Dempocalypse were all straight, white males, the media would accuse Trump of calling for violence against them. This is the trap the media have been setting for Republicans for decades and Trump is the first Republican to understand that the only way to avoid that trap is to step into it, pull down you’re your pants, shake your ass, and flip everyone the bird. What’s more, can someone explain to me why it’s not okay to tell antisemitic bigots to get the hell out of the country? What could be more un-American than racism and bigotry? What could be more un-American than refusing to condemn al Qaeda or lobbying for socialism? And why can’t we tell immigrants who come here only to hate on us to go back home? What’s wrong with that? My wife’s a Mexican immigrant who frequently tells these hideous leftists to get the hell out. Is my immigrant “person of color” wife a racist? Regardless, the news around Trump’s tweets is so fake, we’re being told he told people to “go home” when he didn’t. Here’s what he wrote: 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. Trump is making a larger point in that tweet, not telling anyone to go home and never come back. The truth is that Trump never brought up skin color, gender, or “people of color,” which means there was nothing racist about his tweets. Nothing nativist. Nothing xenophobic. His tweets focused on only one thing: behavior — the appalling behavior of the harridans, their indefensible bigotry, their open hatred of Jews, their unforgivable use of equivalence to compare the American military to al Qaeda and our border enforcement to Nazi concentration camps, their un-American crusade to prioritize illegal immigrants over American citizens and legal immigrants. Trump told the truth. Trump defended America. This is what a president is supposed to do. But in America today nothing is more dangerous than telling the truth. The media cannot stand it. The Democrat Party cannot survive it. The simpering gerbil-cucks who call themselves “Never Trump TrueCons” melt down like little girls over the very idea of waging this righteous battle in the only way it can be won — with the same belligerence the other side uses when they talk of “concentration camps” and “impeaching the motherfucker.” Trump has the heart of a lion, and his willingness to take flaming arrows in the back to speak the truth is the most liberating, crucial, noble, effective, and American defense of free speech in my lifetime.

amp.dailycaller.com/2019/07/16/trump-squad-unifies-democratsPresident Donald Trump’s tweets telling the “squad” of freshman congresswomen could be effective in unifying the Democratic Party. While this unification will be positive for progressive Democrats, it could push more moderate Democrats farther away from the party. Trump’s tweets and the squad’s joined forces come after a week of feuding within the Democratic Party starting after the four congresswomen voted against an emergency funding bill for the border. President Donald Trump’s tweets from Sunday suggesting freshman Democratic congresswomen “go back” to their home countries appears to have unified the Democratic Party after a week of feuding. Some pundits are saying this unification, however, may not be as positive for moderate Democrats as it is for progressive Democrats. The joining forces of Democratic Reps. Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota — the self-proclaimed “squad” whom Trump was likely referring to in his tweets over the weekend — might further solidify the party’s progressive base ahead of the 2020 elections. Rush Limbaugh, host of “The Rush Limbaugh Show” said Monday that he believes Trump’s actions to bring the four congresswomen together is purposeful.
“I think Trump sees this rift developing between Pelosi and the Democrat leadership and these new communists on the left led by Cortez, and I think he wants them back together again,” Limbaugh said.
“I think Trump wants the Democrat Party to become known as the Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Green New Deal socialism party. I think he wants to hang that label around all of them, and for that to happen they have to be unified,” he continued.All four congresswomen have received harsh criticism for their progressive policy ideas and rhetoric regarding everything from immigration to the Israel-Palestine conflict to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s record on race. Omar suggested that the Democratic caucus is comprised of “many” racists, telling a rally in May, “The thing that upsets the occupant of the White House — his goons in the Republican Party, many of our colleagues in the Democratic Party — is that they can’t stand that a refugee, a black woman, an immigrant, a Muslim, shows up in Congress thinking she’s equal to them.”

www.dailywire.com/news/49537/menken-dont-underestimate-trumps-strategic-rabbi-yaakov-menkenMENKEN: Don’t Underestimate Trump’s Strategic Thinking By RABBI YAAKOV MENKEN @ymenken July 16, 2019 14.8k views The Democratic Party is rallying behind three of the most vicious bigots Congress has seen in decades. I am alternately annoyed at the president for engineering this and impressed by his strategic thinking for the same reason. It truly was obnoxious for the president to suggest that American citizens leave and go somewhere else if they don’t like it here. Obnoxious, but not racist. These three women came to Congress with the idea that the United States is fundamentally broken, though they themselves celebrate their origins in developing regions. There is nothing wrong with finding the president's weekend tweeting to be offensive, and to suggest they should “go back” is still worse. But even more so, it is wrong to call this rude reaction racist. To misattribute this to diverse skin tone only needlessly exacerbates our tensions and divisions. Which leaves us pondering a different question: Why would the president mix into the Democrats' perfect storm? Until Trump opened up against the four women of the so-called “Squad” — Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), and Rashida Tlaib (D-MN) — progressive and moderate Democrats were headed for an epic falling-out. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) had pushed back against Twitter attacks upon her efforts to govern her Democratic caucus. And when Ocasio-Cortez ("AOC") responded by accusing Speaker Pelosi of “singling out ... newly elected women of color,” several members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) castigated AOC for “using the race card.” Democrats discovered what most of us already knew: Cries of racism are bigoted and hateful when used against innocent parties. For AOC and similar “progressives” with a minority characteristic, the identity defense shields them from all criticism of their ideas. Instead of the race-blind society we so recently hoped to achieve, the “intersectionality” coalition divides America on racial and other minority lines, though with a notable carve-out: Jews are pushed off the minority map, regardless even of whether their families were driven out from Arab countries or were Holocaust survivors. Remember that Ilhan Omar quite recently claimed that furious responses to her anti-Semitic remarks were “attacks” upon her as a Muslim, black, refugee woman. At that time, Jewish writers with obviously Middle Eastern names and features were castigated for “attacking a woman of color.” No CBC member or other Democratic leader cried foul at that time; on the contrary, even Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) employed the same tactic against President Trump on Omar’s behalf. But with Speaker Pelosi now targeted by this divisive language and identity politics, the Democratic caucus was ready to finally reject it — until, with just a few damaging tweets, the president closed the Democratic fault line. It is my suspicion that this was intentional.
Bringing Democrats back together leaves only Republicans on the side of Americans sick of being smeared as racist, homophobic, or misogynist simply for having different opinions.
Now Trump can go back to skillfully using the “Squad” to depict all Democrats as similarly leftist and unreasonable. Even his half-baked recollection of Omar “holding her chest out” when she talked about al-Qaeda will work in Republicans' favor. The mainstream media played directly into this, depicting his imperfect recollection as a lie — thus cementing Omar’s reputation as the sort of mainstream left-wing figure whom the media will defend.America will now carefully revisit her comments from 2013, and observe that if the president didn’t have the details quite right, the accurate version is just as abhorrent. She literally joked about her professor stiffening when he spoke about a terrorist organization such as al-Qaeda or Hezbollah, as compared to a country such as America or England. She was undoubtedly right — we don’t discuss England with the same “intensity” as we do al-Qaeda. We feel a high level of revulsion when discussing a terrorist organization that murdered thousands of Americans simply because it could; Omar appears to find this amusing. In recent comments regarding “Palestine,” Omar called out our “hypocrisy in not celebrating non-violent movements there and condemning it.” She said this at roughly the same time that the Hamas Interior Minister celebrated the completion of a new factory for building suicide belts with “off-on detonation switches” that Gazan girls (and boys) can use once they break through Israel’s border fence — and called for Palestinians around the world to slaughter Jews. Omar’s words will now continue to harm not just the "Squad," but all Democrats. Pelosi needed to distance her caucus for her own self-preservation; polls now show that distaste for AOC and others could return control of the House to Republicans in 2020. Trump’s tweets forced them back into a tight embrace. It would be better that the Democratic Party itself reject the identity politics and divisiveness of the “progressive” Left, rather than go the way of the U.K.’s Labour Party, which Jewish members and their allies are now abandoning en masse as “toxic.” That already seemed unlikely, but now, at least at present, seems impossible. Mr. President, I only hope it was worth it. Rabbi Yaakov Menken is Managing Director of the Coalition for Jewish Values.

www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/07/16/fact-check-ilhan-omar-al-qaeda/On Monday, President Donald Trump defended his criticisms of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and the far-left “Squad,” and claimed that Omar had praised Al Qaeda, the terrorist organization responsible for the Sep. 11, 2001 attacks. Trump said: I mean, I look at the one — I look at Omar — I don’t know, I never met her. I hear the way she talks about al Qaeda. Al Qaeda has killed many Americans. She said, “You can hold your chest out, you can — when I think of America…huh…when I think of al Qaeda, I can hold my chest out.” When she talked about the World Trade Center being knocked down, “Some people.” You remember the famous “some people.” These are people that, in my opinion, hate our country. … So when — when I hear people speaking about how wonderful al Qaeda is, when I hear people talking about “some people” — “some” people with the World Trade Center — “some people”? No, not “some people.” Much more than “some people.” … And politicians can’t be afraid to take them on. A politician that hears somebody, where we’re at war with al Qaeda, and sees somebody talking about how great al Qaeda is — pick out her statement — that was Omar. How great al Qaeda is — when you hear that — and we’re losing great soldiers to al Qaeda. When you see the World Trade Center gets knocked down, and you see the statements made about the World Trade Center — all the death and destruction — I’ll tell you what: I’m not happy with them. Omar had an opportunity to clear the air, but declined to condemn Al Qaeda (or communism, another alleged association) at the “Squad” press conference on Monday, saying, “I will not dignify [the claim] with an answer.” The president appears to have misinterpreted comments Omar made in 2013, in a video that emerged nearly six months ago (and which was ignored by the mainstream media until now, when it could be used to dispute Trump). As Breitbart News noted in February, the most shocking claim Omar made in the interview with a local Minnesota television program was that U.S. foreign policy was responsible for acts of terrorism such as the Westgate shopping mall terror attack in Nairobi, Kenya, by the Somali terror group Al-Shabaab, who killed 71 people, mostly civilians. Omar also drew a moral equivalence between radical Islamic terror and “the violence that is done [by] the West,” which she said that the U.S. and other countries had “legitimized.” However, Omar did not actually endorse acts of radical Islamic terror, or praise Al Qaeda or other organizations. Instead, she complained that American Muslims were expected to denounce those acts of terror, and that the Arabic names of terror groups were emphasized. In the course of that complaint, she described a class on terrorism that she took at college. Laughing, she described the posture of her professor when he would say the Arabic names of terror groups, saying that “every time the professor said, ‘Al Qaeda,’ he, sort of, like, his shoulders went up.” He did not do the same when describing “the Army,” she said, suggesting the professor was prejudiced. That appears to be the origin of President Trump’s distorted quote that she said, “When I think of al Qaeda, I can hold my chest out.” Omar’s remarks can be seen in the video below at 17:00: Trump was on firmer ground when he criticized Omar’s recent comments about the 9/11 attacks. In a speech in March to the Los Angeles chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), Omar complained about prejudice against Muslims. She said: “CAIR was founded after 9/11, because they recognize that some people did something, and then all of us were starting to lose access to our civil liberties.” The phrase “some people did something” was widely interpreted as downplaying the severity of the attacks, as well as the role of radical Islam as the motivation. CAIR itself has a disturbing record on radical Islam — particularly in Southern California. As Breitbart News noted: In 2007-8, CAIR was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the terror financing trial of the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development. That case, in turn, led the FBI to discontinue its work with the organization. In 2009, a federal judge ruled that the government “produced ample evidence to establish” the ties of CAIR with Hamas, the Palestinian terror organization. The United Arab Emirates labeled CAIR a terrorist organization in 2014 (a decision that the Obama administration opposed). In 2015, CAIR’s Los Angeles director suggested that the U.S. was partly to blame for the San Bernardino terror attack, in which 14 people were killed, due to American foreign policy. CAIR also offered legal assistance to the family of the terrorists who carried out the attack.
