Fox News senior political analyst Brit Hume drew significant criticism on Monday after he tweeted that President Donald Trump's controversial"go back" tweets were"xenophobic" and"politically stupid," but not"racist."
Trumpâs âgo backâ comments were nativist, xenophobic, counterfactul and politically stupid. But they simply do not meet the standard definition of racist, a word so recklessly flung around these days that its actual meaning is being lost.Although Trump did not mention specific names, it was clear that he was referring to Democratic Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota.
Democratic Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan listen as Michael Cohen, former attorney and fixer for President Donald Trump, testifies before the House Oversight Committee on February 27 in Washington, D.C.But Hume wouldn't accept that the comments were"racist," despite many others from across the political spectrum arguing they were.
you donât think xenophobia and nativism against American citizens *born in America* doesnât meet the definition of racism."If you are a conservative who can't condemn Trump's hate-mongering without including a 'but' sit down and spare us your fake ass sincerity," activist and filmmaker Adam Best wrote.
Twaddle!
Hmm, was it xenophobic to say Americans are hypocrites and that we don't display American values-Ilhan Omar
Must have done poorly in English classes

He never mentions race!!!
Yes it is !
Fox News sympathy for a long time known 'Racist' Donald Trump, from 'Birtherism' of a Black President, to 'Racists' remarks on 4 Women of Color Congresswomen from a sitting President?
If he works for Fox, he may not know the difference.
“Slammed”
REALLY?
Well it's true. Xenophobic is disliking people from other countries.
🤔🤨 as expected
Actually FoxNews, Trump’s comments were both xenophobic AND racist!
He’s 100% correct.
They are both....
The government officials Trump is referring to do not have WE THE PEOPLE in their agenda and hate the USA so they should not be in office at all
These people have got racism on the brain, the minorities use the word to get out of jail free. It's time for clean out.
So you don't need someone like that in office. We need a man president not a teen ager in mind
That’s called a euphemism.
Excuse me
If anyone read the entire series of tweets, they’d realize they’re neither. Just more fake outrage from the lunatics on the left.
None of the above. And I don't care what anyone thinks of me.🤷♂️ fighting over word battles instead of doing your job is pathetic.
Still worthy of a censure motion by the House, nevertheless. CensureTrump RedAFHatAF OrangeAFHatAF
These are awful people and should never be in congress.
Please differentiate between xenophobia and racism please.
She does not need to leave the country, just go back to school.
