    Default Republicans respond to Trumpf's racist tweets

    Backlash: What Republicans of Good Conscience are Saying about Trump's Racist Tweets.

    What they're saying: Republicans have come out to condemn the president's comments — with Michigan Rep. Fred Upton saying that he was "appalled" and found the president's rhetoric "flat out wrong and uncalled for."

    Texas Rep. Pete Olson tweeted: "I urge our President immediately disavow his comments."

    Texas Rep. Will Hurd told CNN that the tweets were "racist and xenophobic."

    Texas Rep. Chip Roy tweeted: "POTUS was wrong to say any American citizen, whether in Congress or not, has any 'home' besides the U.S."

    Former Ohio Gov. John Kasich tweeted: "What @realDonaldTrump said about Democrat women in Congress is deplorable and beneath the dignity of the office."

    Pennsylvania Sen. Pat Toomey told CNN Trump's comments were "wrong," adding, "We should defeat their ideas on the merits, not on the basis of their ancestry."

    Maine Sen. Susan Collins said in a statement that the comments were "way over the line" and encouraged the president to take down his tweets.

    Ohio Rep. Mike Turner tweeted that the president's remarks were "racist and he should apologize."

    South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, the only black Republican in the Senate, stated that the president's remarks consisted of "racially offensive language." He added, "No matter our political disagreements, aiming for the lowest common denominator will only divide our nation further."

    Former Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake tweeted: "There are times when the President's comments are so vile and offensive that it is incumbent on Republicans to respond and condemn. This is one of those times."

    Former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld called the comments "racist attacks."

    Ohio Rep. Anthony Gonzalez said the tweets were "wildly inappropriate."

    Michigan Rep. Paul Mitchell wrote the comments were "beneath leaders."

    New York Rep. Elise Stefanik said the comments were "inappropriate, denigrating, and wrong," according to the Post Star.

    Indian Rep. Susan Brooks said the comments "do not reflect American values."

    Pennsylvania Rep. Lloyd Smucker stated "racially-motivated statements or behavior is totally unacceptable and unbecoming of our great nation."

    New York Rep. John Katko said the president's remarks were "wrong," adding, "criticism should focus on policy."

    Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski tweeted: "there is no excuse for the president’s spiteful comments."

    Utah Sen. Mitt Romney told NBC 10 that the president "fell far short" in his comments.

    Texas Sen. John Cornyn told CNN he thinks "what the President said was a mistake and an unforced error."

    Missouri Sen. Roy Blunt said in a statement to CNN that the president used "unacceptable tactics" in attacking the women.

    Oklahoma Rep. Tom Cole tweeted, "Use of such language is inappropriate and demeans the office of the presidency."

    Ohio Sen. Rob Portman told CNN, "That's not something I would say, and I think it's divisive, unnecessary and wrong."

    New York Rep. Peter King's spokesperson told CNN, "The tweets were inappropriate and wrong."

    The OP is a list of dozens of Republican legislators, governors, and senators deploring Trump's racist, over-the-top, xenophobic, and wildly inappropriate tweets.

    Not a single Democrat is named in the OP.

    Telling an American citizen to go back to the country of their ancestors does not end well for anyone who employs those tactics, and those sentiments should never leave the lips of a president of the United States.

    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    That’s not what he said but who cares, right? You need these little fever dreams to keep up the charade.

    The tweet was absolutely abysmal.

    Trump needs to STFU on Twitter and act as a President.

    That said, how is it racist? Good lord any insult someone who isn't white. But some one who isn't white can insult with impunity.

    He said they should go back and fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. You guys have to remove a majority of the quote to pretend it is racist.

    Being a son of immigrants, I am very familiar with the lexicon, rhetoric, and tactics used by xenophobes and racists telling non-native born citizens to go back where they came from.

    It does not matter if you, an obscure message board poster, do not recognize it.

    Trump's appalling xenophobia was recognized by dozens of prominent Republicans listed in the OP.

    He never said to go back from where they came from, and the fact that you have to remove a majority of the quote to prove your point is evidence of your lies.
