"Go back to your country."
In the years following slavery, Blacks who have been living here for generations were often told to "go back to Africa." Even today, racists regularly say this to non-white people, even if they were born and raised in America.
It can be compared to Holocaust Denial. Sure, you could just sincerely believe the Holocaust didn't happen. However, this is a commonly used anti-semitic trope. So if a guy tells a group of Jewish congresspeople that the Holocaust didn't happen, it's more than fair to recognize that as anti-semitism.

"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."
— Joe Biden on Obama.
Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.
D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.
Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".

Bullshit. The term is used for anyone with an obvious foreign ancestry, regardless of the melanin content in their skin. Here are Trump-hating "journalists" chanting "go home" to Sebastian Gorka just last week: https://www.washingtonpost.com/video...401_video.html
President Trump has repeatedly claimed that Rep. Ilhan Omar supports al-Qaeda.
In evidence, you cite a video in which Omar recounts attending a college course on terrorism, and every time the professor mentioned a terrorist organization "his shoulders went up". Omar apparently found this amusing. This proves that she supports al-Qaeda? In Trump's retelling, "his shoulders went up" turns into "she puffed her chest out" at the mention of al-Qaeda. That would be evidence of a sort if the video supported it, but it doesn't.
Do you also believe Trump's claim that he saw "thousands and thousands" of Muslims in New Jersey cheering on 9/11? Nobody else saw them. The people who didn't see them included local police, reporters and everyone else on the scene. But Trump insisted he saw them, so it must be true, right? As he explained at the time, all those who denied it must be suffering from "political correctness".
I hold no brief for Ilhan Omar, but I can find no evidence that she expressed support for al-Qaeda.

You do realize that's still bigotry, right? Like if you're white, and you discriminate against a Romania-American for being Romanian, that's still bigotry. It might not be "racism" because you're the same race, but it's still bigotry and discrimination. So yeah, not the best defense of Trump.
Fuck them. But the reason they said that is because Gorka actually is from another country. It was xenophobic and wrong, but it didn't have anything to do with race.Here are Trump-hating "journalists" chanting "go home" to Sebastian Gorka just last week: https://www.washingtonpost.com/video...401_video.html
