In the wake of Donald Trump’s recent racist criticisms of four Democratic congresswomen, there’s been considerable discussion about the president and his antagonistic relationship with minority communities and people of color.
U.S. Rep. Mike Kelly, R-Butler, is defending comments he made to a reporter Tuesday, in the wake of President Donald Trump’s tweets telling four congresswomen of color to “go back” to where they came from. As the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review’s article added, the GOP congressman believes the excerpt from his Vice News interview “mischaracterized our conversation and my broader point: We’re all created equal. It’s time to stop fixating on our differences and focus on what unites us.”
A couple of months into Donald Trump’s presidency, for example, the Pennsylvania Republican suggested Barack Obama remained in D.C. after leaving the White House in order to “run a shadow government that is going to totally upset the new agenda.”
MaddowBlog White is a color right!
MaddowBlog Enough said...
MaddowBlog They are not persons of color but persons of a lack of brain!
MaddowBlog

MaddowBlog We’re all people of color. Sorry liberals
MaddowBlog I can guarantee it, it would not be long before we white people will be called racist because we also call ourselves people of color. I remember in grade school art class that white was also on the color chart.
MaddowBlog What? White isn’t a color?
MaddowBlog NO YOU ARE 'WHITE'. DUH
MaddowBlog No sheet, son.
MaddowBlog
MaddowBlog Republi-KLAN!
MaddowBlog Well white is a color so technically he is correct. So now everyone can be s person of color,, so no more racist baiting FakeNews 🤓
MaddowBlog Mike Kelly: You’re a special kind of ignorant!
MaddowBlog
MaddowBlog 😳
MaddowBlog If you folks want to play this game, all white people are people of color. You get white from a combination of the three primary colors.
MaddowBlog Isn't white absence of color? LITERALLY!
MaddowBlog He right. However the description l keep getting for white does not fit the republicans criteria.
MaddowBlog How dare you deny them their personal truth! Racists!
MaddowBlog White is a color, racist.
MaddowBlog Just like Elizabeth Warren?
MaddowBlog When will MSNBC be owned by a 'person of color'? is run by racists.
MaddowBlog dutifully supporting any effort to mimic and echo, issue could be how thick a slice of bread is and he and others would still side with Trump
MaddowBlog This dude got jokes!!! Really..
MaddowBlog just a distraction Trump was involved with underage girls with his friend Jeffrey Epstein’s Meet the woman who ties Jeffrey Epstein to Trump
MaddowBlog
MaddowBlog
MaddowBlog John Lewis' face says it all
MaddowBlog White is a color. In fact it’s all colors. I’m a person of color too.
MaddowBlog Every one wants to be black or a person of color, until its time to be black/person of color 🙅🏿♀️🙅🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️🤦🏿♀️
MaddowBlog WELL HE IS RIGHT. IF HE IS WHITE, WHITE IS A COLOR. SO EVERYONE IS A PERSON OF COLOR.
MaddowBlog Who does he think he is... Elizabeth Warren? 😂😂😂
MaddowBlog Usually I’d just post a sarcastic meme...but look at John Lewis’s face as he’s saying he’s a “person of color”. That’s pure bewilderment combined with trying not to curse out loud at the same time.
MaddowBlog So you bigots are not for Transracial people? 😂
MaddowBlog The devil will tell the truth from time to time.
MaddowBlog
MaddowBlog Straight from The Onion.
MaddowBlog
MaddowBlog
MaddowBlog Hilarious
MaddowBlog Yes Translucent!
MaddowBlog He’s not?
MaddowBlog I didn’t know “ignorant “ was a color.
MaddowBlog If ewarren can claim to be an Indian, men can claim to be women, women claim to be men, why can't he claim he's a person of color?
MaddowBlog What an AH. We are just electing so many idiots to Congress it's not funny.
MaddowBlog 100+ liberals t-shirts (all sizes!) Chek out: Thanks for the support.
MaddowBlog Remember, they’re not scientists. Just ask them.
MaddowBlog And we finally find out that racism is just old white folk being so sad they were never assigned an exciting color.......
MaddowBlog Only when he's wearing clothes
MaddowBlog Let me know when his ancestors are lynched and hanging from nooses for walking into public spaces where whites are eating.
MaddowBlog Yea it’s called Confederate Gray!
MaddowBlog Lol. Probably he identifies as a person if colour 😁😁😁
MaddowBlog
MaddowBlog These politicians can say anything and do anything.

MaddowBlog 😒
MaddowBlog Both pathetic and sick. World, this is our GOP government.
MaddowBlog Fact Check: True!
MaddowBlog 2020 dude
MaddowBlog Has the world forgotten that white is a color. And the comment that MSNBC use, a white congressman, is an example of media promoting separation of race. Media two-faced, the front face and where they're mostly at , is the rear end face.
MaddowBlog It’s so cute when dementia sets in while they’re still in office. Entertaining too.
MaddowBlog Cute
MaddowBlog Generally speaking..white is the absence of color..somewhat like the absence of other qualities you so obvously lack. Black is the combination of all or many colors..or absence of light. Interesting that AFRICA is considered the origin of man & creation of more. THINK ABOUT THAT
MaddowBlog
MaddowBlog 🤦🏼♀️
MaddowBlog I was on a final written warning at a huge insurance company for saying “she’s of color” in error. The politicians say it and it’s okay...WTF is wrong with this country
MaddowBlog Flunked science, as well as morality.
MaddowBlog You finally get..we are all people of color some us are brown,pink, white, mahogany,yellow,red, olive, black, tan and even orange...but no color is better than the others, there is no scale that is able to value one colors wealth over the others..we are the same, in a rainbow way
MaddowBlog In response to Mike Kelly from Pa.until we whites(which I am) understand the dynamic racial differences in our country not much progress can be made on this agenda.White isn’t a racial issue in America but other skin colors have problems.Our forced slavery continue to harm us.
MaddowBlog Everybody is a person of color. Even white is a color in racial terms. So who is he trying to impress?
MaddowBlog Nope, I’m looking at you and you have no color. Well, maybe a bit pinkish.
MaddowBlog Chalk white
MaddowBlog First of all, John. Lewis’. Face! Second of all, white is the absence of color. Black is all colors combined. todaysartlesson
MaddowBlog If genders don’t exist in liberal loon land. Then white people can be POC too.
MaddowBlog More of a POS than POC
MaddowBlog When the white supremacist are rounding up blacks in the south or colored, he should join in
MaddowBlog He’s the same skin color as AOC
MaddowBlog I don't think 'asshole' is a name for a person of color. Could be wrong.
MaddowBlog
MaddowBlog You have lost your honor!
MaddowBlog Proof that liberal are sick!
MaddowBlog He is obviously being flippant, and trivialising a serious issue. He should apologise!
MaddowBlog By definition, white is the absence of color
MaddowBlog He is what he says he is. He feels like he is black today. Tomorrow he's brown, he's a man of color. He believes that's what he is, so get over it
MaddowBlog “I’m a mayonnaise American.”
MaddowBlog RACHEL DOLEZAL
MaddowBlog Saw Mike Kelly coming out of a Great Clips the other day! Not kidding.
MaddowBlog I’d like to hear him say that out loud at Albertsons in Espanola NM
MaddowBlog All you want to do is sew division and make people angry. That is the only reason you exist. He was making a point and said this.... We're all created equal. It's time to stop fixating on our differences and focus on what unites us.'
MaddowBlog
MaddowBlog Yes he is, chicken shit yellow!
MaddowBlog Elijah Cummings is sitting close enough to smack him. Just sayin’
MaddowBlog White by definition is the absence of color .
MaddowBlog He’s not the first ignorant member of the House and won’t be the last.
MaddowBlog To be fair, white is a color, but it's never been used as 'colored'. You get my drift!
MaddowBlog Color is on a spectrum, man. -Muninn
MaddowBlog The look on John Lewis’ face is priceless
MaddowBlog
MaddowBlog I don't get it. Is he suggesting blacks call themselves people of no color cause black is the absense of color?
MaddowBlog Is stupid a color?
MaddowBlog Is he idk is he... wait what?
MaddowBlog 🤦🏼♀️
MaddowBlog I am a white person for over 80 years & no brown or black person has ever told me to go back from where I came or that I don’t belong here & I’ll bet you even money no one ever said that to you either .
MaddowBlog What’s your point, White is a color !!!!!
MaddowBlog What a ridiculous stupid thing to say
MaddowBlog FOH
MaddowBlog White privileged white folks will never understand being a person of color 😡
MaddowBlog Actually we are all people of color. Such a stupid saying anyway. How about we are all people!
MaddowBlog Well, this man finally did it. He’s finally shown the world that IGNORANCE is a color. It’s not “white” though, like he’d have you believe. It’s a relatively unspoken of color, but one that some of you know very well. It’s called ASSHOLE!
MaddowBlog The racists are out in full. No more dog whitsles as the GOP has made it OK to be racist again.
MaddowBlog White people, the new target of racial hate that started with affirmative action.
MaddowBlog Missed the point
MaddowBlog The Old White Parchments are now mocking Americans . 3 D's Disgusting Disruptive , & Disconnected to out right facts slapping them in the face. I'm surprised they haven't twisted their own heads off from all of Trump pretezling's of blatant facts.
MaddowBlog
MaddowBlog I hate to tell him but his ancestors weren’t from US. He might be of any combination of heritage.
MaddowBlog Isn’t he able to identify as whatever he wants ...
MaddowBlog
MaddowBlog White is the absence of color. And brains.
MaddowBlog He might have a point as I was told in art class that white is indeed a color.
MaddowBlog The color of cowardice. The color of feckless ineptitude. The color of ignorance. The color of hatred. The color of male privilege.
MaddowBlog I guess pale with Type 2 Diabetes splotches make him a person of color.
MaddowBlog RadicalRacistRepublicans RadicalRacistRepublicans RadicalRacistRepublicans
MaddowBlog Old and stupid
MaddowBlog Jfc
MaddowBlog What? Your hair.
MaddowBlog He hasn't a clue and never will.
MaddowBlog True. On another note, isn't the whole 'person of color' shtick kinda cringeworthy, considered it's just another way of saying 'COLORED PEOPLE'?
MaddowBlog Well technically he is a part of the 'White' population. I'm not sure how you can argue that?....wait that may invoke way to much logic for the liberal mind.
MaddowBlog Sweaty pasty salmon?
MaddowBlog Rosacea is a color!!!
MaddowBlog What?! We can't just say we're a different race or gender depending on how we feel today?

MaddowBlog Remindfor those that don’t recall history
MaddowBlog Don’t be childish! You know better.
MaddowBlog This congressman needs a very long vacation. Come back after 4 years.
MaddowBlog MSNBC, recall from your voluminous history reading about how the Irish were despised when they immigrated here, no jobs no housing. They partied loud and had big families. What happened? Time passed, generations forgot, that’s the way racism dwindles. Dems don’t want it to stop.
MaddowBlog Out in the sun too long?
MaddowBlog I hope he is not turning orange, I am kinda prejudice against the orange guy
MaddowBlog Are you now publicly saying that someone SHOULDN’T be able to choose how they want to be identified? How racist/sexist/homophobic/transphobic/claustrophobic of you!
MaddowBlog Scientifically speaking, neither white or black is a color. Sooo...

MaddowBlog What color is the appropriated POW/WOC supposed to be? nd what do you comfortable racists do with all the pale faced mixed race people? Racial herd them into the white category? Is that already the way? Say no to race herders, and race supremacy no matter what the complexion.
MaddowBlog Yeah he is. The color of white supremacist privilege.
MaddowBlog Well, we'll see you at the next march then!
MaddowBlog GTFOH WITH TS
MaddowBlog If white men can say they are women and celebrated, why not?

MaddowBlog White IS a color even if lunatic left don't believe it
MaddowBlog I'm a multi-millionaire white man who benefited greatly from Trump's tax plan.....which is one of the reasons I'm so far up his ass I can't think straight.
MaddowBlog
MaddowBlog Uhhh .... White is an absence of color.
MaddowBlog I know liberals are not ones to honestly report on history, but there was a time in America when the signs read “No Blacks, No Dogs and No Irish Allowed” Irish children were abandoned in NYC, and shipped across the country on trains, unloaded at stations and given to families.
MaddowBlog The 1950s in Technicolor. I could just hear him say that in a southern accent
MaddowBlog When did white stop being a color?
MaddowBlog
MaddowBlog Last I looked, my skin had color. My skin is not white....it's beige
MaddowBlog And I say he melanin deficient. TrumpKingofIdiots BanSemiAutoMaticWeapons TaxLicenseInsureGunOwnerShip HoldGunManufacturesLiable
MaddowBlog When people say dumbass things to distract from the importance of an issue. Close relative to whataboutism.
MaddowBlog If he refuses to stand up to trump’s racism and bullying, his color is yellow.
MaddowBlog White is the combination of all other colors!
MaddowBlog Did they ever think of that. I’m a person of color, white

MaddowBlog Each one of us carries a genome of multi races. Not one person alive today, with so many wars and mixing of nations, are of pure race. Most around the world carry the gene of a Neanderthal (at most 5%). Ignorant is the person that cries otherwise.
MaddowBlog

MaddowBlog Ok !!!
MaddowBlog Must be an 'alternative color'.
MaddowBlog Why people do not like color. So how are we not people of color?
MaddowBlog Like Warren!

MaddowBlog I'm sure that the people of color almost lost their teeth when this man spoke. This man is another one of Trump's gang that will get on national t.v. in front of millions of people and say something like this. He has no shame.
MaddowBlog Meant to say, 'I'm a person of no color'...more likely...no vitality, interest, excitement, impact, zest, verve, spice, sparkle, richness, point or force.
MaddowBlog Fall back scsenategop you are the party of racists and demonize humans. You’re a disgrace to our nation. This Republican Family will never vote for another republican due to your inhuman actions and policies. Cowards not people of color!
MaddowBlog And what color would that be? Pink?
MaddowBlog Rep Lewis is green with envy
MaddowBlog is he not?
MaddowBlog 'there’s been considerable discussion about the president and his antagonistic relationship with minority communities and people of color.' = panicked discussion among hipsters about why despite powerful organizations smearing him, the president is still so popular with nonwhites
MaddowBlog
MaddowBlog 😂🤣
MaddowBlog Please
MaddowBlog This is the trash that the people from Pennsylvania voted for? America has to wake up!
MaddowBlog I guess if prejudice were a color, he’d be it
MaddowBlog And the look on John Lewis' face says it all. Priceless.
MaddowBlog Ronald Reagan would switch parties if he were alive!
MaddowBlog I Agree with Mike Kelly on this. 'White people' are very colorful. We do not ALL have brown eyes. We don't all have black hair. We don't all have the same shade of 'white' skin. Some are tan, beige, rose beige, almost pink: only the white race can boast of having 'red necks'❗❤
MaddowBlog Maybe he means his colorful veins that can be seen through his translucent skin.
MaddowBlog Is pasty white in the crayon box?
MaddowBlog Poor Rachel! Her obsessive compulsion to tie Trump to something, ANYTHING is difficult to witness.
MaddowBlog Bout as dumb as a biological man saying he is a woman, huh?

MaddowBlog Shit comes in many colors...
MaddowBlog A person of mental illness!
MaddowBlog Um isn't white the absence of color?
MaddowBlog Well realistically he's not white he's kind of a pink
MaddowBlog
MaddowBlog Unless it’s senWarren right?
MaddowBlog This isn't new news, congressman. You've been ramming it down our throats for decades.
MaddowBlog
MaddowBlog So maybe he identifies as a person of color. That should be ok with liberals.
MaddowBlog Does he have any idea what a combination of racism and ignorance that statement represents.
MaddowBlog Mike Kelly is my age. I’m sure when he was 9 or 10, he & his family identified as “colored people.” 🙄
MaddowBlog Is white not a color? Are white people colorless? He's is a person of color. Everyone of us are persons of color.
MaddowBlog REALLY, I mean REALLY
MaddowBlog I love the look on repjohnlewis face 😂
MaddowBlog Ok then let’s send you back to Germany
MaddowBlog The definition of white is free from color. Hence, you are not a person of color. Moving on...
MaddowBlog
MaddowBlog Yes he is white is a color
MaddowBlog This is not funny. The GOP'S DON'T CARE.
MaddowBlog
MaddowBlog He was trying to explain that he is not transparent and that there is a skin color that is associated to his complexion.
MaddowBlog More like a person of privilege
MaddowBlog The side-eye from Lewis is priceless.
MaddowBlog Fact is we all are and if a person needs to be called out we need to call them out. What ever happened to Grit? To standing up for what one believes in? To taking a stance? O wait 8 long years of Obama happened.
MaddowBlog So he's kind of saying since mankind originated in Africa we are all African Americans? His census answers must be comedy gold.
MaddowBlog
MaddowBlog
MaddowBlog I know, right?
MaddowBlog go back to where you came from Kelly hahahahahahahah
MaddowBlog Yeah Lily white ass
MaddowBlog Entitled some
MaddowBlog Stop whining about anyone's skin color. CULTURE is the key.
