The president’s broadside against a group of lawmakers, all of whom are minorities and all but one of whom were born in the U.S., was condemned as racist by Democrats across the spectrum

WASHINGTON—President Trump provocatively injected himself into a simmering Democratic dispute Sunday, tweeting that a group of progressives quarreling with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi—all but one of whom were born in the U.S.—came from corrupt and broken countries and should “go back” to “fix” what he called the “totally broken and crime infested places from which they came.”

The president’s broadside against the lawmakers, all of whom are minorities, was condemned as racist by Democrats across the spectrum. Mr. Trump’s tweets...

 

Thank you for your comment. Your comment will be published after being reviewed.
Please try again later.

I've seen no one more radically racially biased than these four.

DT is a racist

Not true he was simply saying move to where you are happy

It’s was not an attack on the four musketeers only, it’s an attack on America, a country of immigrants regardless of color

How are you pro murder of minorities abortion effect blacks more do you know thar

4 boils on the ass of society

TheJusticeDept USSupremeCourt USDoDGov

DEMs credibility on issues concerning this President are at the very least, questionable.

That’s was great

Well they started it...

Dems call all GOP racists. Nothing new. Anyone who criticizes a person of color or their political philosophy/policies is a racist according to them & some virtue-signaling Republicans. If these women were white, his comments w/have been no different. It's their behavior/not race

The statement made no mention of race. I think he got fed up with the 4’s constant criticism of America. All those 4 do is criticize America. This has nothing to do about race. It’s their constant putting down of America and Americans. He just got tired of hearing it. Many have.

“Democrats call racist tweet by a racist, racist” there I fixed it for u

Racially charged in what way? Racially charged because these are women of color? There was no other racial component here & labeling every criticism of a person of color as racist is bogus. Time to put the race card away until it's actually a racial issue. See Brit Hume's tweets.

If u are born in the USA you should respect the country ur immigrant parents chose for you.

These women have been saying anything and everything about Trump but that’s ok? Guess what ladies it’s not ok U lie, fabricate, manipulate stories, call him racist and now he is giving it back! These idiot women get what they gave!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Media supporting progressive outrage. According to the cabal, everything realDonaldTrump says and does is racist. So nothing new here.

What would Democrat’s do without racism? It has become so unmeaningful because they accuse everybody of being one, when it is they who are the most racist of all. Sad.

I would confidently disagree. Any member that would lie about border patrol agents, wants to replace capitalism with socialism, disparages our flag and founding fathers/principles is not a committed member of congress and wants to fundamentally change and destroy our nation!

Hey they we're never condemned for the racist rants.

But not one Republican spoke up. Lindsey Graham said it was not racist and the Congresswoman were Communists What the hell. What has Trump got on you Lindsey?

Lawmakers isn’t that a joke. They hate this country. Leave and be happy in another country of choice but they may not want you either. Nobody likes a turncoat.

They come from the Planet Marx!

They’re not racially charged tweets, they’re racist tweets. Jesus, why are we watering down racism to make it seem as if it’s not racism?

Newsflash: [insert democrat] condemned [insert republican] as racist. Yawn.

Unfortunately, “condemned as racist by Democrats” no longer carries any real meaning.

Sure it was. Were they condemned for all their lies, crickets

It would appear that he media and the Democrats need to look up the definition of racism. Hey might want to look up socialism too

Warning, all progresist and other kind of Zoocialists, want América destroid. Don't hesitate they realy do.

And all bots under contract by progresist OPEN FIRE.

But it's true, all he said.

More untrue labels used to distract from the fact that he is correct Listen to what they say in speeches, not their virtue signaling tweets and photo ops realDonaldTrump didnt call attention to their heritage, he responded to their claims that race and sex justify THEIR methods

Why does being a minority protect you against truthful criticism ? If you arrest a minority is that racist as the criminal is a minority. These 4 anti Americans are just plain lowlives who hate America and wish for its demise. Minorities can be condemned for their views.

The SQUAD keeps on digging itself a deep hole, America is not with their thinking

Exact quote: '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's done' The media should report the whole quote not a few words from the beginning and ending.

Those US congressional members who hated America are proof of education in US HISTORY in US schools which is SOCIALIST BRAINWASHING NOT EDUCATION.

Whoever labeled as minority cannot be critized for wrong doing, whoever labeled as racist cannot be praised for good argument, this is the logic we are living nowadays. What Trump said in these three twitters is not complicated, instead. is the common sense had been neglected.

If he had said “Try to be more American”, he would have been tagged racist the same. No matter what he says or do, you (anti-American fake news) call him racist.

To the left everything is racist.

DEMOCRATSRHATERS I blame the Democrats for the division in the country. They call anyone who disagrees with them racists They use identity politics to divide everyone They are UNAMERICAN

Racially charged? There was absolutely 0 mention, nor suggestion, of their race in any of the tweets. The fact that you decided to report this as “racially charged” speaks way more about you than it does about the president.

I'M m not sure it's 'racist', but it was stupid in caps. POTUS needs to remember he is a public figure not a private tycoon.

Its so interesting to see how indignation is measured by whether one is on the receiving or giving end of a poorly chosen statement. Sad to see what this country is becoming.

Wherein the refuses to call out the president for obvious and undeniable racism. Making editorial board... racist!

These idiots got nothing except of course calling everyone “ racist”

It’s not about race. If you see race at every turn then you are a racist.

Even the Wall Street journal can't be honest. There was nothing racist about the tweets. These woman constantly bash the Pres. and America. i am sick of it and so is he. I wish they would go leave their positions of hate. Omar especially should not have access to information !

Why do you, the media, mention trumpos crap. Tweets are NOT news.

Not racial just reality.

Triggered!

WSJ headline writer drops the Race Card....must be very gratifying for a liberal progressive fake news journalist...but the Editor is truly to blame...no profess values here!

President Trump could say 'the sky is blue' and Democrats would cry out that he a racist and should be impeached.

Nothing racist there, just targeting traitors

Racism, Xenophobia or Sexism is totally unacceptable.

For some reason those lawmakers do not instill trust.

Man dies after being infected by flesh-eating bacteria in Florida

Who gives a damn what those 4 idiots think!

They lash out in public making horrible comments about the President and the country they or their parents immigrated to, Trump lashes back at them in similar fashion .... who is worse? Sick of all the HATE...ALL OF IT NEEDS TO STOP 👉🏼😱👈🏼

Are you kidding we stand behind our president

Because they are minorities any criticism of them is racist. And because they are women, sexist too. This is basic idiocy. Logic is dead.

Democrats cry racist at everyone they differ with. What else is new?

Everything is racist.

This has everthing to do with their: 1. Anti USA rhetoric everywhere it matters 2. Floundering districts (AOC/Amazon 2nd HQ flop) 3. Pushing union democrats to support Donny J 4. Marginalizing themselves within their own disintegrating party

According to Democrats, we are all Immigrants & we cannot ask the question of Citizenship, therefore we must speculate based on appearance, language & convictions.

Regardless, this quote from the oped by Rep Omar should send chills down your spine: “.We aren’t in the business of asking for power, we’re in the business of grabbing power.”

I stand with Trump!! Trump 2020. The hatred comes from the left!!

These hate filled women are bad for women's rights. Do your job and stop sooking about others

Still not sure when race was mentioned in his tweets?

Back to their own bigoted racist city’s

Trump is colorblind. He calls out injustice and idiocy wherever he sees it.

Fake outrage.

Racist

The democrats call everyone who doesn't agree with them a racist. Even black folks. It's lost it's power. Completely.

Not a bad suggestion by Trump. Go and practice your lawmaking skills in countries in desperate need of the ideas which these individuals proffer. Fine tune those ideas then come back and submit them again for public consumption.

Where does racism comes into it? He’s telling them to go back and then to return and show us how to run the US. Just because they’re women of color doesn’t mean that every criticism laid at their feet over policy is a racist attack. Some people just suck, regardless of race!

They are not racially, they are truth. These woman pretend to insult everyone to make point why America needs socialism (customed comunism). If they hate so much America why they don't come back to where they came?

Somalia isn't a race. Grow a pair.

No, they were not racist. You’re wanting headlines and clicks.

You have the title wrong. How can you be a law maker, when AOC does not understand the refugee laws as shown by her interaction with T Homan. Just because they are women you are not allowed to criticise. Give me a break.

I STAND WITH TRUMP AND AGAINST THE ANTI SEMITES

Too bad. 73 percent of americans agree with him.... Ur base Dems is 27 and falling

When Democrats are calling their speaker racist .....

Is a third of American voters racist or just greedy?The richest country in the world,now proud of a racist president. 2019

US citizens with immigrant background!!!!!!!!!

Did we accuse and abuse using the ‘racist’ term pre-Obama? If you don’t agree with someone, the race card is always played these days. It’s getting to be a Dem mantra and I’m sick of it.

Sad thing is 'by democrats', clearly showing the is a racist rag in favor of this white nationalist state.

And all women apparently

They’re still irrelevant outside of Twitter

Dems are pathetic. Love to play the victim. Oh poor me. YOU are not a victim. Just work hard. Don’t break the law, and love this country. If you do that. You can accomplish anything!! Watch RealCandaceO You might learn something!!

Didn’t this same group claim that Pelosi was racist just last week? I’m detecting a pattern. Anyone who disagrees with them is a racist.

Nope nope nope. He didn't target their race but where they're from. If you guys pay attention to his tweet. BTW when are you gonna condemn the detention centers being called concentration camps? Because now it seems like an acceptable term bec aoc kept pushing it. Disgraceful

Democrats across the spectrum condemn everything as racist,including the spectrum. The spectrum is racist. Right ?

Putin favors a weak and divided Nation, and tRumpf is doing the job for him. When does this stop, suppose he's reelected, what then? And in 2024 the royal princess is pushed forward, by the then dictator realDonaldTrump this will end the Western civilization for sure.

All three have shown nothing but contempt for American culture and the USA—they grandstand simply for outrage hoping to translate into votes. realDonaldTrump is right to call them out on their despicable behaviour.

Those women are a cancer

We got it WSJ. Are you just going to continue to repost about it?

Good lord, they hyperventilate about *everything* he says and does. This is just more of the same.

Read the tweet “ 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” He’s saying to go back to their heritage and fix the problems there ... Didn’t say to go back and stay there. See nothing here !

TrumpIsARacist TrumpIsAThief TrumpLiesEveryTimeHeSpeaks ImpeachTrumpNow

His message: If you think you can fix America's problems, go back to your corrupt places of family origin, fix those, then return and show us how it’s done. They’ve done nothing but criticize him while not providing solutions or legislation, but building nice social media brands.

This is the photo y’all went with? Here, I fixed it for you:

Not really. He was taking directly to Omar

Oh please

It should be condemned by republicans too, but they’re either racists themselves or cowards

And yet none of them condemned the antifa terrorist and Maxine Waters supporter that just tried to blow up an ICE center...🙄

Democrats you should work on ur project 4 America to get +people adhering to it &avoid repeating the old mistakes of letting Trump leading fight &putting the rules while you only react to his actions/Tweets &so Good Luck in your fight against divisiveness &Exclusion policies

Racially charged? He never mentioned names or race.

Yet condemned by ZERO in the GOP. Yes this is how far our country has fallen TrumpIsARacist TrumpIsADisgrace SilenceEqualsCompliance

POTUS45’s broadside against a group of lawmakers, all of whom are minorities AND WOMEN, should be condemned as racist AND SEXIST.

Dont mess with the modsquad

Racially charged. The new journalistic euphemism for racist.

Just say racist.

At least we have a President to call it out for what it is. Truth has a way of making Socialist angry 😤

They are the racists not Trump.

Ridiculous

The voters the media must not be distracted by the political antics of these clowns. Stay focused on reporting the news not emotional headlines.

And what about the republicans? Crickets.

They also think Pelosi is a racist. Maybe the problem is with them?

OODALoop ask yourself why these Tweets?

But Not the Cowardly Grovelling Republicans.

Donald, the white supremacist, besides of showing his racism, makes the same mistake he made with Obama, insulting USA citizens. You really need to be...

There’s a word for those that didn’t condemn it. Racist.

Everyone in America is racist according to the democrats.

race is a fabrication, does the dotard not pay his internet bills, this information on race easily found, fuck the gop and drumpf

Their the racists ones, hates Americans

It is not about race. It's about people who do nothing AND COMPLAIN about everything. The are being paid to legislate not whine. The prez is right. Go somewhere else where you will be happier!

He said nothing against their race rather he wants them to fix their areas where they came from be it a state city or country. Get a clue people. realDonaldTrump

Tweet wasn’t racially charged. He didn’t mention race at all

We now live in a country where there is a class of super citizens who are really ILLEGAL aliens and are not subject to the LAWS of the United States, but citizens are. These women are promoting that as well as the entire Democrat party. They are the bigots.

Been calling realDonaldTrump since he won in 2016. Nothing new here besides a dumb tweet. Cant win on policy, gotta play the race card.

There was nothing racial in the president tweet. Nothing.

Why isn’t the headline “condemned by EVERYONE across the spectrum”?

I wonder... is his tweet in violation of Twitter’s TOS? Could his account be suspended as a result?

Dems don’t leave home without it.

Calling people racist, such as Trump and Pelosi, is all they have left. Their clown show is into its final minutes.

Of course it was! Everything said in opposition of anything on the left is pretty much always given a “racist” label because it’s easy and gets everyone’s emotions boiling. What he said was stupid, not racist, but you won’t see that if you blindly hate him.

Racially charged? Are you kidding me? And people ask how we got to this point?

GTFOH with your Bullshit wsj! Democrats and their media are very hypocritical considering their beloved Democrats have been at the center of all things racist in the USA! slavery eugenics jimcrow....... 60 years of promises made and never kept!

You need to read the dictionary for the term racist

😴

Trump and the Confederate Senate. 😐

Dems will condemn everything Trump says anyway. What’s new?

Dems crying wolf yet again...smear and the Desperation Samba continues

...*because it was.

Ilan Omar was NOT BORN in the US... get UR facts straight.... they hate America.... try some context losers:

Now do AyannaPressley!

These women have disparaged and provoked POTUS for months including using vile language publicly. They deserved what they got.

To all those who were offended (and rightly so) where was your outrage when Omar lobbied for a lenient prison sentence for a would be ISIS member?

Fake news alert. WSJ guilty. Nothing “racial” at all about demanding these socialists bring solutions to Congress and help fix things. They dont want it fixed? Wonder why. Do your job and find out.

As usual, the underlying issue has morphed into name calling and certain members of Congress get a free pass on ignoring the fact that they created and maintain this illegal immigration crisis. Utter absurdity once the race card gets played. doyourjob

And shamefully not by any Republicans. Such blatant racism by a sitting president is disqualifying.

which race are AOC & RashidaTlaib ? They are both clearly Caucasian!!! What's next?

These immature Freshman 4 are Racist, Divisive and Showboaters! And without a doubt Un-American!!!

No “sexism”? You’re slacking. Did you get to the Antifa bombing by the guy who’s manifesto said his hate was spurred by AOC’s rhetoric? Have you asked these assholes why they hate America? White people?

AND ALL WHO HATE OUR UNITED STATES OF AMERICA..OUR FLAG..OUR BORDERS..HISTORY..CULTURE.. P DONALD J TRUMP IS CORRECT

They have called Trump and many others motherfu%, Nazis, fascist, treasonists Russians, KKK white nationalists, homophobes and much more. All respect has been lost and to act like it is one sided on Trump & republicans is absurd. They should all look in mirror & reflect/reset.

And some Republicans who have not sold their souls to the devil also condemned the racist tweets.

That language appeals to his support base of racist bigots, that vicious verbal attack mixed with malicious hate and contempt resonates with his support base, plus you have to remember Trump is in full re-election mode this is just to rally the troops for more hate.

Snowflakes are gonna snowflake

More Globalist sap from the WSJ. Your editorial board hates this POTUS, You will pay little price in your ivory tower offices when these anti-semites and racists turn this Country into a Socialist paradise, It will be the middle and working classes that will pay.

These congresswomen/broads/racists are NOT going to bring disrespect for 911 and failed ideas from other countries; then, expect NOT to be called out by our fearless leader realDonaldTrump CNN FoxNews MSNBC shaunking kylegriffin1 SpeakerPelosi

but not you guys at the Wall Street Journal, because it really works for you when the Dems argue....so, what are you going to do now to fuel this infighting? what's the strategy?

Condemned by Democrats and supported by That's the rub.

This is how stupid Democrats believe Americans are. Nothing Trump said was racist. Say someone were slandering & condemning how you handle your family, while their family was a dumpster fire. Would telling them to solve their own problems before solving yours be racist?

😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆

It is racist and not a Republican/Democrat issue - surely even Rupert Murdoch recognizes that?

Not one cowardly ass Republican Congressperson or Senator has yet to repudiate him. Why would ANY self respecting person of color ever want to be a member of that political party? noballs nodecency nosoul

Please don’t be distracted by those tweets. There is a reason he did that...find the bigger picture

If the Group of 4 were not far far far left loons they may have a point but.....................

deplorable_ivy What is new? The Democrats have spent 2-1/2 years denying he is President, investigating every family mender, every employee, every friend, threatening their families and damaging their careers while until freshmen attempt to takeover the House.

Yeah, I'm sure it's because he's racist, and not because of the constant shit that they espouse on daily basis

Of course they called this 'racist'. If only everything weren't labeled 'racism', they might actually have gained some traction with this one.

Those 4 congresswomen need to go back

Because the remarks were racist. It’s a fact.

So is now part of the FAKE NEWS, too? The President's tweet was a mild response compared to the racist anti-American hatred these 'progressives' spew everyday.

Everything you don’t like isn’t racist

How sad that Trump’s racist tweets were “condemned by Democrats across the spectrum” and not by “members of Congress across the political spectrum.” That is as damning as anything about Congressional Republicans. And in this case I mean “damning” literally.

Racism is always a good idea to start a losing argument. Democrats are crying foul on ICE who is enforcing the law that Congress created & labeled them as racist & inhumane.

Has his newest racist remarks been addressed by republicans? Anyone? Anyone? It’s a tactic to feed his base.

White House denies claims of 'racism'

The enemy within

The comment 'white nationalists' is a tell all misandry bias flowing from these lawmakers. Seeking to divide the country over racial lines. This experiment in diversity has failed and threatens to end in civil war.

A ruling class majority blaming the minorities for economic uncompetitiveness, is a ruling class climbing down the rungs of economic prosperity due to mental laziness

It was condemned as racist by anyone who can read...

Donald Trump had a terrible opinion about the US under Obama, so the Orange rat should self-deport to where he came from. Scotland I believe.

Does anyone actually give a flying fornication what ANY Democrat thinks or spews anymore? Not hardly!!!! NEVER FORGET MODERN LIBERALS RUIN AMERICA This FACT is proven daily!

The statement and the idiot that tweeted them are sexist and racist. That orange bafoon is a disgrace to the ofc he underwhelming 'won'.

Racist is just a marketing term for the Democrats.

A new internal Democrat poll in swing districts released on Sunday showed that socialist Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Ilhan Omar (D-MN) are extremely unpopular and that they may cost the Democratic Party the presidency and the House in 2020.

Good headline by WSJ.

They hate reason. They hate America. They hate Capitalism. They hate White people. They hate Christians and Jews. Have you seen this latest? 👇 Reps Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib Attend Anti-Trump Rally: ‘This Is Not Going To Be The Country Of White People’

Elect anyone who isn't a straight white male, bc it is verboden to critique, correct or punch back at anyone who isnt. Fuck your racial grievance nonsense.

He said nothing wrong. Have you heard what Ilhan Omar has said numerous times about America? The nerve after America took her in gracefully and gave her a new safe home where she went from refugee to member of Congress. The worst she said is 'Some people did some thing.' on 9/11

Headline should read 'was condemned by all decent people as racist.'

It wasn't just condemned as racist. It *was* racist.

This country that we live in would be perfect if there were less prejudice and people who think they are better than others. There are turning points in everyone's life when we have to fight, even if we have to do it by ourselves and in public.

#RacistInChief trends after Trump tells lawmakers to 'go back' to where they 'came from'On Sunday, the hashtags RacistInChief and TrumpIsARacist began trending on Twitter after Trump urged four progressive Democrats to 'go back' to where they came from. How is he world is that racist? If you don’t live our country, go back to yours! The 47% of Americans that vote for him couldn't care less. It could get a lot worse too, and they still wouldn't mind. I learned something about Americans after 56 years of life that I probably didn't want to know because of this man. It disgusts me. MAGA GOP USA Trump There's nothing racist about criticizing Omar. She has made multiple antisemitic and anti-American comments. Nothing racist about criticizing Tlaib, who has draped herself in the Palestinian flag, has surrounded herself with terrorist sympathizers.
