He's willfully ignorant and too cowardly to call out Trump for his fascist, incendiary, racist, xenophobic remarks |

not always a fan but at least Collins had to courage to directly call out Trump for his comments www.nytimes.com/2023/12/19/us/politics/mcconnell-senate-republicans-trump-immigrants.htmlSenator Susan Collins of Maine told a reporter for The Independent that the former president’s remarks were “deplorable.”
“That was horrible that those comments are just — they have no place, particularly from a former president,” Ms. Collins said.And this Republican criticized him but couldn't resist taking a dig at Biden. classic whataboutism and deflection Senator Mike Rounds, Republican of South Dakota, denounced Mr. Trump’s language as “unacceptable.”“I think that that rhetoric is very inappropriate,” Mr. Rounds said, according to NBC News. “But this administration’s policies are feeding right into it. And so, I disagree with that. I think we should celebrate our diversity.”but worse than that are the Republicans defending Trump. And the suggestion that Trump was not talking about immigrants is ridiculous. Trump doubled down and said it again. But other Senate Republicans embraced Mr. Trump’s language. Senator Tommy Tuberville, who had defended white supremacists serving in the military before retracting his remarks this year, said that Mr. Trump’s attacks on immigrants did not go far enough.“I’m mad he wasn’t tougher than that,” Mr. Tuberville told a reporter for The Independent. “When you see what’s happening at the border? We’re being overrun. They’re taking us over.”Senator J.D. Vance of Ohio said it was “objectively and obviously true” that “illegal immigrants were poisoning the blood of the country.” He also scolded the reporter who asked him about Mr. Trump’s remarks, accusing her of using Mr. Trump’s words to try to “narrow the limits of debate on immigration in this country.”Representative Nicole Malliotakis, the lone Republican in a House seat in New York City, denied that Mr. Trump’s remarks were referring to immigrants.“He didn’t say the words ‘immigrants,’ I think he was talking about the Democratic policies,” she said in a CNN interview on Monday. “Look, I know that some are trying to make it seem like Trump is anti-immigrant. The reality is, he was married to immigrants, he has hired immigrants.” |

He's becoming more unhinged and extreme every day. It seems like his rhetoric amps up proportionately to mounting legal pressure from all of his cases. And he's just doubling down on his "poisoning the blood of our country" comments. His separation of children at the border was horrific and traumatic, yet he's considering the same policy if re-elected. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/12/22/trump-campaign-immigrants-mass-deportations/Republican polling leader Donald Trump, who launched his first successful presidential campaign by vilifying Mexican immigrants as “rapists,” is again making inflammatory attacks on foreigners a core campaign theme as he pledges militarized mass roundups and deportations on a scale never before attempted in this country.The former president is plowing ahead with accusing immigrants of “poisoning the blood of our country” in the face of widespread public condemnation linking Trump’s phrase to the “contamination of the blood” concept articulated in Adolf Hitler’s antisemitic manifesto “Mein Kampf.” Trump has disputed that comparison while repeating and elaborating on his message in speeches, social media posts and interviews.a new anti-Trump ad about his dictator like tendencies www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dzr-NIq2BM |

Either way it is racist. But I am sure a few peas will be here in a few minutes to tell us that he really didn't say that or it wasn't meant that way. Nah, they are all holed up in their hidey-holes until the latest shit storm blows over. They go to ground when it gets so bad that their fellow republicans are bad mouthing the psycho. This crap is so indefensible they don't have the guts to talk about it. The last time aj2hall asked hard questions on the Texas wants this woman to carry her nonviable baby to term thread, the one who moos went radio silent. Up until then they were mouthing all over the threads. Now in hiding until the honest questions and the missing top secret files are forgotten. You run around the board demanding responses from the Right, and yet...
LINK- YOU don't even hold yourself to that standard |

Pro-birth all the way. If they die, oh well they were birthed. Food, they don't need food, or healthcare or mothers or families, Let the old people give up their earned Social Security and Medicare, more for them and their big donors...
