Trump shoots, he scores.
Trump unloaded on the “Squad” the other day and it galvanized democrats who ran to the defense of the four America hating Congresswomen- even the ones who don’t particularly like them:
It takes no small amount of skill to get, say, the centrist co-chair of the Problem Solvers Caucus, Rep. Josh Gottheimer, rising in defense of his four progressive Democratic colleagues who comprise “the Squad.” But our president has a way with words. Over the course of a weekend, the political conversation shifted from whether the House Democratic majority was collapsing from the inside to whether Republicans will speak up against their president’s latest tirade. Statements from Republican members of Congress about the president’s remarks only began trickling out Monday morning, and additional members will be asked whether they consider Trump’s tweets racist when Congress returns for the week.
And, as Speaker Nancy Pelosi told her colleagues Monday morning, the chamber will also be voting on a resolution condemning them. While a resolution condemning tweets is, as a legislative mechanism, exactly as toothless as “a resolution condemning tweets” sounds, it will give Democrats an opportunity to put Republicans on the record either for or against their party leader’s most recent thumbed outburst.
Nancy Pelosi, the newly recognized racist, has a big problem on her hands. The DNC has a civil war brewing.
Pelosi refused to respond directly to Ocasio-Cortez’s accusation at a Thursday news conference but said she had to speak out to defend her moderate members after Ocasio-Cortez’s top aide accused them of racist actions.
‘Our members took offense at that. I addressed that. How they’re interpreting and carrying it to another place is up to them, but I’m not going to be discussing it any further,’’ Pelosi, a California Democrat, told reporters.
Saikat Chakrabarti, Ocasio-Cortez’s chief of staff, referred to moderate Democratic groups in a tweet last month as ‘‘New Southern Democrats’’ who are ‘‘hell bent to do to black and brown people today what the old Southern Democrats did in the ’40s.’’
The aide later deleted the tweet but posted other tweets saying the moderates’ actions — in this case, to pass a compromise border spending bill — ‘‘still enable a racist system.’’
The tweet has emerged as a key flash point in a simmering feud between Pelosi and ‘‘the Squad’’ — freshman Democratic Representatives Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, and Ocasio-Cortez of New York — one that burst into a full boil this week after simmering for months when Pelosi told The New York Times that the four ‘‘didn’t have any following,’’ citing their lonely votes last month against a Democratic-crafted bill to address the southern border crisis.
This left the door open for Trump, who came to Pelosi’s defense:
President Donald Trump, in a surprising turn, defended Democrat Nancy Pelosi amid her dispute with Rep. Alexandria Ocascio-Cortez and other freshman Democrats, saying the House speaker “is not a racist.”
“I’ll tell you something about Nancy Pelosi that you know better than I do, she is not a racist. OK? She is not a racist. For them to call her a racist is a disgrace,” Trump said while speaking to reporters before departing on Marine One.
Then the “Jihad Squad” sprang into action to once again prove Trump right. Ilhan Omar introduced a resolution supportive of Israel BDS and likened Israel to Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union:
U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar proposed a resolution this week supporting the right to boycott Israel, likening the boycott of the Jewish state to boycotts of Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union.
Omar’s resolution seeks to push back against U.S. laws banning the boycott of Israel and affirms the right of Americans to organize boycotts of foreign countries if they so wish.
While the resolution doesn’t explicitly name Israel or the pro-Palestinian Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, she told media outlets that the resolution concerns the Jewish state.
“We are introducing a resolution … to really speak about the American values that support and believe in our ability to exercise our First Amendment rights in regard to boycotting,” Omar told Al-Monitor.
“And it is an opportunity for us to explain why it is we support a nonviolent movement, which is the BDS movement,” she added.
The resolution attracted some Republican detractors, with Rep. Lee Zeldin slamming Omar for introducing it, saying she brought “her hateful twist” by propping up the BDS movement.
“Israel is our best ally in the Mid East; a beacon of hope, freedom & liberty, surrounded by existential threats,” Zeldin wrote in a tweet. “Shame on Rep Omar for bringing her hateful twist on that reality to House Foreign today, propping up the BDS movement & blaming Israel for all of its challenges.”
Under the guise of free speech, you see:
“Americans of conscience have a proud history of participating in boycotts to advocate for human rights abroad including … boycotting Nazi Germany from March 1933 to October 1941 in response to the dehumanization of the Jewish people in the lead-up to the Holocaust,” Omar said in the resolution introduced Tuesday.
Omar’s measure will be co-sponsored by U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., the first female Palestinian-American lawmaker in Congress who openly supports a one-state solution in the Israeli-Palestine conflict, and U.S. Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga.
Anti-Semites all.
This was another Trump masterpiece. He got democrats to wrap themselves around the America haters and in turn they once again showed their true nature. It’s pure fodder for the 2020 campaign. Americans still do not like Socialists/Communists and they don’t like anti-Semites.
Trump even got a bump in the polls.
Slick.
DrJohn has been a health care professional for more than 30 years. In addition to clinical practice he has done extensive research and has published widely with over 70 original articles and abstracts in the peer-reviewed literature. DrJohn is well known in his field and has lectured on every continent except for Antarctica. He has been married to the same wonderful lady for over 30 years and has three kids- two sons, both of whom are attorneys and one daughter on her way into the field of education.
DrJohn was brought up with the concept that one can do well if one is prepared to work hard but nothing in life is guaranteed.
Except for liberals being foolish.
Then it turned out Pelosi was part of their following. How funny.
Yes, indeed, Trump played them like a warped fiddle. The only problem with it is that most Democrats don’t care about anti-Semitism or racism. They embrace it. They embrace the party that embraces it.
Trump is effectively keeping his name in the limelight, just as he did in the last Presidential election season. It doesnt matter if they give him negative press, its free air time. The more they twist the words he tweeted the more sympathy he gets from those that like him, bully away MSM, bully away, the falling viewership will suck it up.
The ignorant will believe anything they say we only have 12 years to live so PARTY ON! Get one of those older 2 cycle lawnmowers that dont break down every spring, or cost a fortune to replace the burst into flames lithum batteries.
Oh the horror of harmless chanting, send her back, but no horror of their people trying to burn down a detention center full of Illegal Aliens, tearing down a US flag and hoisting a foreign flag, no horror of Antifa attacking peaceful gatherings.
The lemmings will be lemmings trying hard to keep up with the latest turn of the herd toward what ever cliff edge the mockingbird media points them to.
congressional members(demorats) are calling for more security. these idiots do no remember that it was them that escalated this rhetoric. one has to review the dictionary meaning or racism and not a juvenile 28 y/o version . al green, Pelosi and the entire demorat gang have no idea of the word’s meaning. the demorat party is in complete chaos, and noting is going to save them in 2020. massive group think. when on takes the oath of office in either the senate of house: “I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.” these asshole and most of the house and senate can not affirm this sworn oath. Evita and her snowflake terrorist can not defend the Constitution -send the all back home to their country to clean it up. these persons are pure gutter trash. reading The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by William Shirer will off insight into the current demorat party
@MOS #8541: Send her Back along with her daddy.
Nur, Representative Omar’s father, appears to have been a party propagandist under the dictator and was responsible for ‘ideological’ aspects of the Red-Green revolution. (He worked for the Marxist/Stalinist regime under dictator Baare as a teacher of teachers.) This could have included providing the ideological/political justification for the massacres of the late eighties.
It is not a secret that Ilhan Omar’s father illegally entered the United States.
@MOS #8541: These damned liberals believe the oath is just words; rhetoric. Like when they call each other or Republicans “racist” or whatever, they know they are just throwing words out. Lying is no problem for them; it’s one of their job skills.
The same goes for their oaths. Just words. Don’t mean nuthin’.
Well, that summation ain’t exactly consistent with that of the majority of Americans or even that of most of the world, who by the way, are eyeing this rather closely, but if that makes you feel better, I guess that’s all that really matters.
But then again, Trump knew the code and played it quite well in 2016, even though most of Americans, the entire world, and even his own party grimaced in embarrassment. Of course his party today, has no shame.
@Ronald J. Ward:
Partisan opinion. Dismissed. You don’t know what “the majority” of anyone thinks. Biased polls constructed to appeal to the weak, lemming-like qualities of humanity so they either follow or don’t oppose “the majority” is a major step backwards. And…as we’ve seen in history…”the majority” can be wrong…murderously wrong.
As opposed to a party comparing Israel to Nazi Germany…then daring to call someone “racist” when they call them out. I think you and your party should be quite embarrassed with this current state of ideological disarray and hate you people are espousing.
Go back and get better talking points, little dog.
Over & over again the ladies in the squad claim the 1st Amendment’s freedom of expression clause allows them the right to say all the hate-filled things they say.
One even used her 1st Amendment right to claim that, unless you agree with HER, you do NOT have a right to express yourself!
(Blacks must speak in their black voice; queers must speak in their queer voice, etc.) Oddly, or ironically, their insistence on their own right to free expression doesn’t teach them that others, including their President, also have their own right to free expression.
President Trump and his 63 million (plus however many more he’s gained over the last 2+ years) all have that same right.
Yup.
Even if it doesn’t sound like an echo of the squad’s view.
these assholes have no idea of the meaning of the word racist. every one is one sandwich short of a picnic basket for brains
There seem to be stress cracks forming in the Dem Congressional backing of the bad girls clique. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/dems-decry-omar-resolution-israel Stamping on America is out of fashion they really need to catch up.
@kitt: Until they expunge her from the House or, if she won’t take control, run Pelosi off, they are and always will be the anti-American party of anti-Semitism.
I also haven’t heard them denounce the KKK lately.

@kitt: From your article:
This flies in the face of the 27+ states where it is ILLEGAL to Bds Israel or any other country!
She wants national measures that can over-rule state’s rights in contradiction of the 10th Amendment where everything not enumerated by the Constitution.
She really is ANTI-American!
And she is either ignorant of US law or she seeks to overturn it.
Pres Trump is 100% correct about her.
