But why cannot Trump (and other Republicans) expose their radicalism without handing the Dems and their media a weapon to portray Trump (and by extension Republicans) as racist?
Trump handed them nothing that could be portrayed as racist. The Dems are going to create that weapon regardless of what Trump says. And this is a perfect example of that.
The narrative this morning is that Republicans, by not "speaking out" against Trump's tweets, are endorsing his racism.
The narrative this morning is a lie. And there is not a damn thing anyone can do or say to prevent or change that. Even Chuck Schumer was on TV this morning citing the 14th Amendment as being the law of the land for "hundreds of years" with zero mention of how Democrats have opposed it through its entire existence.
If there's any discussion of the Squad's radicalism, I'm not hearing it. All I'm hearing is outrage over Trump's racist trope and these four poor victims.
Maybe you should stop hanging out with liberals. Besides, the only victim here is 'truth'.
The above-the-fold feature in this morning's Philly Inquirer, for example, consists of interviews with immigrants who lament the times they've been heckled to "go home".
Can't help you there. The Democrat cities of the North are far more intolerant (and racist) than the cities down here. But it is to be expected that a liberal paper like the Inquirer would push the Democrat narrative rather than report the facts of what a Republican President actually said.
The media is going to have a field day tying Republicans to Trump's love-it-or-leave-it screed.
This is tame compared to what I was told back in 2010 when Democrats were taking away my doctor and insurance. When complaining that their Obamacare mandate forced me to buy their insurance simply because I breathed, they told me that I didn't have to breathe.
When the day comes where they start putting up the barbed wire, lining up cattle cars, handing out striped pajamas, and firing up the ovens, I will know exactly which side is doing it. It will be the intolerant ones screaming "racism" at others while practicing it themselves in full view.
