"SEND HER BACK!" Will they defend this?

Telling Ilhan Omar, who is literally a Somali immigrant, to go to Somalia, fix it, and then come back and show America how it's done, is perhaps unfair, but it's not necessarily racist.

Leaving aside whether or not it's racist to tell someone "go back to where you came from", what about the other three Congresswomen?

I keep mentioning that, but the supporters of the statement conveniently seem to overlook it. At the very best, which is to say assuming the almost certainly nonsensical idea that Omar is as bad as her detractors say she is, it leaves the statement 75 percent ignorant, inflammatory crypto-racism. I would contend that that is less than admirable.
 
We have email exchanges in which a senior member of the Trump campaign gleefully accepts a meeting with someone offering the support of the Russian government.

We have the numerous lies that followed to cover up that meeting and hide its true to intent.

You have a screenshot of an Instagram post.

The bodies of evidence are not even remotely comparable, so the standard remains intact.

Well, with all of that evidence you have, I suggest you call the FBI and let them know that you have proof of conspiracy. 19 prosecutors and 40 FBI agents spent two years and $32 million unsuccessfully looking for what you have found.

How about another standard then?

"FFFFF, Boofing and Triangle of Death" in a high school yearbook was enough evidence for the left to conclude that Brett Kavanaugh was part of a secret high school gang-rape club. Is that somehow more credible than an Instagram screenshot?
 
As a resident of the DC metro area, let me just say, we don't need Trump's kind here. We don't need filthy bigots and traitors in the nation's capitol. In addition to infesting the Whitehouse, he brings magascum who are all bigots and racists who we don't want here. Trump and his kind aren't welcome here and need to go back to where they came from. If they aren't going to love this country like real Americans do, they should leave and go to Russia where Trump's hero Putin lives.

Why do you think the FBI is unaware of this? Being prohibited from acting on it by the policy of not indicting a sitting President does not mean they are unaware of it.

You seem to be implying that I’ve manufactured the evidence rather than referred directly to emails Trump Jr. himself released into the public record.

What a bizarre position to take.

How about another standard then?

It’s like watching a small child repeatedly fail at a task but stubbornly keep trying. So adorable.

We have hours of congressional testimony from the alleged victim.

Do you have hours of congressional testimony from anyone to bolster your belief in this conspiracy theory about Omar?
 
They're welcome to go fix Somalia and show us how it's done, too, I suppose. Doesn't quite have the same zing to it, though. They're not literally Somali immigrants.

Nope, but for some reason, Trump doesn't think that they are entitled to tell the "people of the United States... how to run our government," either. And for some reason, trumpers think that's perfectly reasonable.

How does that fit Trump's actual words that they should go *back* to where they came from? Are you suggesting that he invited all four to fix Somalia?

This is a ridiculous reading. You simply cannot be serious.
 
As has been widely reported, Congresswoman Ilhan Omar has gone back! And Speaker Nancy Pelosi went with her.

The congresswoman Ilhan Omar took a swipe at Donald Trump on Thursday, posting a photo on Instagram of herself and Nancy Pelosi in Ghana with the caption: “They said ‘send her back’ but Speaker Pelosi didn’t just make arrangement to send me back, she went back with me.”

The photo [below] came from a congressional trip to the African country this week, in observance of the American slave trade’s 400th anniversary. The two women were joined by the civil rights icon and Georgia congressman John Lewis and other members of the Congressional Black Caucus. Link

Why don't libertarians go to Somalia, if they like freedom so much?

Why doesn't Lena Dunham move to Canada like she promised?

What the hell does Lena Dunham have to do with anything?

Ok, Lena Dunham was an idiot for "threatening" to go to Canada and not doing so. Great. Now, back to the topic.
