Published Monday, July 15, 2019 9:08AM EDTWASHINGTON -- Defiant in the face of widespread criticism, U.S. President Donald Trump renewed his belligerent call for four Democratic congresswomen of colour to get out of the U.S. "right now," cementing his position as the most willing U.S. leader in generations to stoke the discord that helped send him to the White House.
There was near unanimous condemnation from Democrats for Trump's comments and a rumble of discontent from a subset of Republicans -- but notably not from the party's congressional leaders. The president's words, which evoked the trope of telling black people to go back to Africa, may have been partly meant to widen the divides within the House Democratic caucus, which has been riven by internal debate over how best to oppose his policies. And while Trump's attacks brought Democrats together in defence of their colleagues, his allies noted he was also having some success in making the controversial progressive lawmakers the face of their party.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who said Trump's campaign slogan truly means he wants to "make America white again," announced Monday that the House would vote on a resolution condemning his new comments. The resolution "strongly condemns President Donald Trump's racist comments" and says they "have legitimized and increased fear and hatred of new Americans and people of colour.
Trump has faced few consequences for such attacks in the past. They typically earn him cycles of wall-to-wall media attention. He is wagering that his most steadfast supporters will be energized by the controversy as much, or if not more so, than the opposition.
Chao is one of the few minorities among the largely white and male aides in high-profile roles in Trump's administration. She is the wife of Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, who declined comment Monday on Trump's attacks.
Sigh.
That is not racism but rather a very common way to silence critics. Being white but having an accent, I've been told this same thing every time I express my disagreement on how some things work in Canada. It's only racism when the guy from WH says it
He’s right!
Atta boy Trump !
Just the white supremacists
He wasn’t wrong... for a change.
Many people are racist
TRUMP= KKK he believes in racism, the doctrine that one's own racial group is superior or that a particular racial group is inferior to the others. The whole world 🌍 Is Watching Trump Destroy 🇺🇸. Trump you’re FIRED
And the only people who agree with him are those as morally bankrupt and racist as realDonaldTrump. TrumpIsARacist RacistPresident RacistGOP RacistInChief RacistTrump
That doesn't make it right. Many people are also racist.
Trump's 'racist' tweets don't mention race. Trump's 'attack' on 'women of colour' does not mention women or women of colour. FakeNews has gone into hyperdrive because Trump is making sense to normal people
Meanwhile while our Canadian media regurgitates what is on CNN, ABC, MSNBC, FOX CBS..., A true investigative report finds this. Don’t believe the Canadian media are burying / underreporting stories that made Trudeau look bad?
They were not racist, get over it snowflakes
Yes all the people that are racist agree with u. Hitler would agree with u, David Duke would agree with u and other white supremacists. Mr. president your in an elite group. Congratulations u should be very proud
I mean, he is right. Many people do agree with him.😒
Yeah. The racist white supremacists endorsing him. 😒😞
It's time to start calling out Trudeau for the bad leader he is. We have an election coming up. You are doing a disservice to Canadians. It's time to do better.
So ctv is pro terrorism, anti semitic and anti American. You support the communists 4 but attack the president for calling them what they are. Fake news ctv. Oh I get it now communist terrorists views ( ctv).
Why doesn't his wife go back along with her parents where the came from they weren't born in the states
I guess CTV thinks covering a tweet is more important than Trump blocking all migrants from Central America
Yeah, they’re called white supremists!
I denounce the denouncing....nothing racist about the tweets until the evil MSM denounced them as such...filthylyingbastads
... 5 minutes after the last tweet of the same bullsh*t story. I hope Little Potato is paying you well for the destruction of what little credibility you had left as a “news” organization...
Yawn....distraction
They should be working for the American people not illegal immigrants or marrying their Isis brother. POTUS is bang on.
'Many people agree with me' ... many more don't.
It was actually a brilliant move on his part. The SQUAD have single digit approval and had called Pelosi racist a few days earlier. Now Pelosi is forced to back them up and Trump gains a new narrative stating if you don't like the US leave. The Squad projects. That's all they do
Trump is habitually delusional
Yeah, about 110!
Zero racism in his tweets. The only ones who believe it is racist are the Dems and the MSM. The people are awake and aren't buying your stories anymore. This is why Trump uses Twitter, To prove these fools wrong.
GFY CTV
He's right.
Nobody: Donald Trump: *yawns* Liberals/Democrats: RACIST!!
He didn’t say a racist word. He was calling out radical members of congress who attack the USA day in and day out. CTV fake news will never report the other side, here is the other side.
What does widely mean? If there is an election today, he will win handily. That is called ‘widely’ supported by US people. Let number speak, not some vague term like ‘widely’, we all know that US people have waken up.
As a person of colour, I agree with Potus. But we all know the MSM has their own spin
It’s astounding how many Canadians like realDonaldTrump
Without projecting..... can someone, anyone, tell me what was racist about those tweets...?
Does JustinTrudeau think POTUS is a racist?
