    We all know he's talking about the Squad. He didn't even try denying it when they replied to him.

    You know because you assumed. You assumed because they have different skin colors.

    Yes, because I'm familiar with this trope. It's a common trope used against non-white people.

    Like I said earlier in this thread, if someone were to tell Jewish congress officials to stop talking about the Holocaust because it didn't happen, I will assume that this person is being anti-semitic because Holocaust denial is a common anti-semitic trope.

    Let's also not forget the following.
    Trump never said this to a white person he hates, like Biden or Pelosi.
    Three of these women are from America.
    All four of them have American citizenship.

    The comments ONLY make sense if you understand he's saying that non-white people aren't American.

    It only makes sense if you assume he used the “common trope” because of their skin-color, not for any other reason. The problem is all you can see is their skin color, make assumptions based on their skin color, and cannot get past their skin color.

    That's nonsense. When people call the Squad "Communists," I think that's totally fucking stupid, but I know it has nothing to do with race. However, if someone says something racial that was commonly said to black and brown people, I'm going to accept that it is racial.

    If someone told a group of Jews that the Holocaust never happened, would you see that as anti-semitic? Or would you just say, well he just doesn't believe the Holocaust happened, that's fair.

    Every time low intel conservatives like Evmetro try to defend Trump's "go back to where you came from" the country breaks into mocking laughter at Trump and his bots.
    Russian trolls and their supporters go on Ignore, automatically: no second chance.

    He said nothing racial and even clarified his remarks countless times, so you’re accepting nothing but fevered assumptions based on skin color.

Since racism is about race, and Trump did not identify any race, there cannot be racism. Lefties however, show their racism by implying that "back where they came from" is a designated place where a certain race is from.
    Race is a geographic thing. Telling blacks to go back to Africa,which is a common version of what Trump said is obviously that and more. Trump talked about shithole countries. We know Trump does not tell people to go back to Sweden.
    Telling people to go back where they came from has been a racist insult for a century and you pretending otherwise is dishonest. Why do you spend so much time and energy saying what is untrue, In your right-wing heart, you know Trump is a racist. he does not hide it.
    In the Nixon tapes, there is aa spot where Nixons staff all come to a common conclusion. They said "we don't need them' We don't need blacks to win so we are ignoring them. I think Trump has made a similar one. He thinks there are enough racists, white power types and Nazis to carry him to victory. It would say a lot about us if he is right. His racisms is not just who he is, but a deliberate plan.

    Sure I would probably think the guys was anti-Semitic, even if he not might be.

    But then again Trump never said what you claim he did, so pretending he used an old racist trope is nonsense.

    If they were of Irish descent would it still be racist?

    Or when the playboy reporter told Sebastian Gorka to “go home” the other day, journalists and twitter pundits of course defended the reporter.

    He said no such thing.

    Here's the best view of that exchange. Mr. Big Mouth "journalist" gets dressed down by Gorka in 7 words.
