From the New Yorker:
Since the G.O.P. is confined to a state of what seems like permanent vassalage to Trump and his maga supporters, the final development was perhaps the most surprising, and it provided an answer to a question that has been hanging for at least two and half years: Just how far does the President have to go before his supine Party colleagues on Capitol Hill muster the independence to register some semblance of a protest?
Congress, it's time for all to speak out against racism!!

What is racism?
How about telling brown skinned American citizens that they need to "Go back where they came from" because they look different and have unusual names.

Racism is something that AOC and Kamala Harris rage about but have no concept of what it is. We have some very dangerous people in leading positions today and if they ever gain control of the US government it will be Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Tojo and any number of tyrants all over again.

LOLOL, Congress speak out? They couldn't even name Omar when they passed the first resolution against racism...As for racism, tell that to Omar, Tlaib, Cortez and Pressley...all four are devout and overt racists by their words, actions and deeds. Any yet there's not one racist word President Trump said in his tweet, only the truth about the anti-American squad; he never mentioned skin color, never mentioned race, never mentioned names, only mentioned those that hate America have the opportunity to leave and these four obviously do. The Squad just drove a couple of million voters into the GOP camp with their anti-American rants, bank on it.
Apparently its going to get lot uglier before it gets any better folks, take your seats and get your popcorn
