House votes to condemn Trump for 'racist comments'

The House on voted to formally admonish Donald, approving a resolution condemning as “racist” his tweets targeting four minority congresswomen.

Praise the good Lord!

It doesn't explain how or why his tweets were "racist" though. I could condemn someone as being a pedophile, but don't I need to explain why I think he/she is one?

Well, most folks don't require an explanation to understand how the tweets are of course racist.

If you see them openly abusing a child, then yes, you can call them a pedophile and not have to explain why

I must not be most folks.

It's really quite simple. Two people can do or say the same thing, but you are only allowed to comment on what the white person said or did. To dare call out someone not white makes you a "racist."

Did any of these people tell Trump to go back to the country he came from?

Because, otherwise, I have no idea what you're talking about.

None of the targets of Donald's unhinged racist attack he's fully deserving of condemnation for told him that but the town in Germany that he's from has commented. To sum it up, they don't want him to come back to where he's from. His grandpa was an immigrant to the US, hightailing it out of Germany to avoid military service.

“I can only wish Americans that they will elect someone who turns on his mind before saying something,” Riede added.

Would people be whimpering if he had said the same thing to a Russian, a Frenchman, and a couple Scandinavians? You know they wouldn't be. He didn't refer to their ethnicities, at all, but rather their anti-American ideological beliefs.

It's amazing how many traitors have been elected to office lately.

Instead singled out a set of ethnic minorities and told them to go back where they came from and insinuated that they have no place to criticize in our society as equals.

So yeah, pretty racist.

It would also be properly troubling to label some people that simply don't agree with the president as "anti-american" as you have done here too.

Now it's Trump's fault that they chose to have a little group that excluded any white congresswomen?!?! Are you really saying he isn't allowed to answer their anti-American rhetoric because they aren't white?

That's exactly what folks have said since the day Donald Trump was elected (despite losing to his opponent by millions of votes), Bob.

I knew exactly what was coming.

You will know them by their fruits.

"if"? The whole point is he didn't say the same thing about white people. Do you really not see this?

Trump chose the people he chose for a reason, and that is because he is a racist.

He's been properly fond of Scandinavian people for a while now. He wants more of them to immigrate from Norway and fewer from countries he called an expletive.

Doesn't matter the color.
It's who they are.

Note
The color smoke screen is old now.

We all have friends of color--
including Trump.

Jeepers -- where have they been?

That is true, Bob! You will indeed know them by their fruits which is another reason why I'm so glad that Christians in the House voted to condemn Donald Trump's vile Tweets.

You have got to be kidding! If nothing else, Donald Trump is an equal opportunity insulter. He would even insult a green person if one spoke against America.
