Washington – President Donald Trump is lashing out at another member of the “squad” of Democratic congresswomen of color as he addresses Turning Point USA’s Teen Student Action Summit.
Trump criticized Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan at the conservative youth gathering Tuesday, saying, “There’s no way she stands for the values of the people of Michigan.”
He’s also calling her “vicious” and “a crazed lunatic.”
Trump has been engaged in a back-and-forth with the women, following tweets considered racist that he fired off suggesting they return to their countries, though all are American citizens and all but one born in the U.S.
Turning Point USA describes itself as a youth organization dedicated to educating and training and students “to promote the principles of freedom, free markets and limited government.”
So, why, all of a sudden, is this Gang of Four Social Justice Warriors pushing the #MeToooops, I mean #RacistPresident propaganda model?
I am going with #perkinscoiesucks because they always use the same model, over and over again.
So, since I have conducted an in depth comparative analysis between the #MeToo and #RacistPresident models, finding a significant correlation in its construction and implementation, I decided to do a much more, highly sophisticated stochastic analysis to see if there exists any findings of stealin'.
FINDINGS:
I found fraudulent FEC filings in Affidavit of Identities;
"I am going to make you proud, Michael." said Trump, right about the time they were doing the casino thing in Detroit.
President Donald Trump on Tuesday continued his hate-filled attacks on a group of Democratic congresswomen of color, falsely accusing them of being “pro-terrorist” and “anti-USA.”
Trump, who on Sunday launched his racist tirade, fired off a series of fresh tweets apparently aimed at freshman Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.), Ayanna Pressley (Mass.), Ilhan Omar (Minn.) and Rashida Tlaib (Mich.). Omar and Tlaib last year became the first Muslim women elected to Congress.
The Democrat Congresswomen have been spewing some of the most vile, hateful, and disgusting things ever said by a politician in the House or Senate, & yet they get a free pass and a big embrace from the Democrat Party. Horrible anti-Israel, anti-USA, pro-terrorist & public.....
″The Democratic Congresswomen have been spewing some of the most vile, hateful, and disgusting things ever said by a politician in the House or Senate,” wrote Trump, who also has falsely accused former President Barack Obama of founding the so-called Islamic State and who propelled the racist birther movement against him.
“Horrible, anti-Israel, anti-USA, pro-terrorist & public ... shouting of the F...word, among many other terrible things,” the president continued. “Why isn’t the House voting to rebuke the filthy and hate laced things they have said?”
Ocasio-Cortez, Pressley, Omar and Tlaib ― known as “the Squad” on Capitol Hill ― have made headlines in recent months for butting heads with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), calling for Trump’s impeachment, and questioning America’s relationship with Israel.
Trump unleashed a racist rant against the lawmakers on Sunday, telling them to “go back” to other countries. Omar, who is black, immigrated to the U.S. from Somalia with her family in 1995. Pressley, who is black; Ocasio-Cortez, who is Latina; and Tlaib, who is Palestinian-American, were born in the U.S.
Despite a storm of condemnation, Trump has stood by his “go back” tweets, repeatedly calling on those who are unhappy in the U.S. to “leave.”
“I don’t have a Racist bone in my body!” he tweeted Tuesday.
“Nancy Pelosi tried to push them away, but now they are forever wedded to the Democrat Party,” he wrote of his targets. “See you in 2020!”
Democrats were quick to deride the tweets as racist and unacceptable. Congressional Republicans have been mostly silent about the president’s bigoted remarks, save for a few exceptions.
Though Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and other Trump loyalists have steadfastly denied that the tweets were racist, some GOP lawmakers have issued a rare rebuke of the president. Asked Monday whether she believes Trump’s “go back” comments were racist, Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) said yes.
“The Squad” held a press conference Monday to address Trump’s remarks, calling his “go back” home tweet “blatantly racist” and “the agenda of white nationalists.”
“We love all people in this country, and that’s why we believe health care is a human right,” Ocasio-Cortez said Monday. “We love all children in this country, and because we do, that’s why we fight for all children through college.”
Trump’s vitriolic tweets on Tuesday feigning outrage over what he claimed were “vile” and “disgusting” comments drew attention to other offensive remarks he has made in recent years.
“Hey Mr. President, remember when you bragged about sexually assaulting women, talking about feeling their breasts and genitals, because ‘when you’re a star they let you do it?’” Ocasio-Cortez fired back on Twitter, referring to the infamous “Access Hollywood” tape that prompted bipartisan backlash against him ahead of the 2016 election.
Trump, who has been accused of sexual assault by multiple women, including most recently author E. Jean Carroll, claimed his remarks bragging about groping women were simply “locker room talk.”
Trump on Tuesday claimed the progressive lawmakers used “filthy” language, referencing a comment made by Tlaib in January in which she called Trump “a motherfucker.” Republicans at the time issued statements condemning Tlaib’s choice of words, and she later apologized for “the distraction” her comment caused.
Yet Republicans have been largely mum when it comes to the president’s use of expletives and threatening language, including his praise for a GOP lawmaker who assaulted a reporter.
At a rally in May, Trump threw out the words “ass” and “bullshit.” Earlier that month, his public remarks included the words, “hell,” “damn” and “crap,” reported The New York Times. Members of his party didn’t appear to care publicly.
“No one has debased the civil discourse in this country more than President Trump, and the president really does set the tone in the country,” Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) told the Times. “We see it reflected in our offices by the hateful, belligerent, obscene and violent calls that we get now that we didn’t used to get.”

Washington – President Donald Trump on Sunday assailed a group of Democratic congresswomen of color, including Rashida Tlaib of Detroit, as foreign-born troublemakers who should go back to the “broken and crime infested places from which they came,” ignoring the fact that the women are American citizens and all but one was born in the U.S.
Trump was almost certainly referring to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and her allies in what’s become known as "the squad." The others are Reps. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts and Tlaib. Only Omar, from Somalia, is foreign-born.
Tlaib, who has frequently jousted with Trump, vowing shortly after taking office in January that “we’re going to ... impeach the (expletive),” fired back Sunday.
"Detroit taught me how to fight for the communities you continue to degrade & attack," she wrote on Twitter. "Keep talking, you just make me work harder. I'm proud of my Palestinian roots & a WEAK bully like you never wins. This is what America looks like."
Trump’s tweets prompted a wave of searing condemnation from Democrats, who set aside their rifts to speak as one in calling Trump’s remarks racist and breathtakingly divisive.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the president wants to “make America white again.”
Ocasio-Cortez, fighting for days with Pelosi, said Trump “can’t conceive of an America that includes us.”
“Mr. President, the country I come from, & the country we all swear to, is the United States,” she tweeted. “You are angry because you can’t conceive of an America that includes us. You rely on a frightened America for your plunder.” Omar said as if addressing Trump: You are stoking white nationalism (because) you are angry that people like us are serving in Congress and fighting against your hate-filled agenda.”
Michigan's congressional Democrats took to Twitter to defend "the squad."
Rep. Debbie Dingell of Dearborn said, "We should call this what it is: hate. We can never forget it’s our diversity that makes us strong. There is no place for this kind of talk in our country."
Rep. Elissa Slotkin of Holland said, Trump's "willingness to drag our values through the mud is appalling."
Rep. Brenda Lawrence, D-Southfield, said "Divisive rhetoric will NEVER 'Make America Great Again.'"
"America, we are better than this," added Rep. Dan Kildee of Flint.
With his latest tweet, Trump again inserted himself into a rift between Pelosi and the liberal congresswomen, after offering an unsolicited defense of the Democratic speaker days earlier. Pelosi has been seeking to minimize Ocasio-Cortez’s influence in recent days, prompting Ocasio-Cortez to accuse Pelosi of trying to marginalize women of color. “She is not a racist,” Trump said Friday.
On Sunday, Trump’s tone changed.
“So interesting to see ‘Progressive’ Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run,” he said in tweets. “Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came.”
He added: “These places need your help badly, you can’t leave fast enough. I’m sure that Nancy Pelosi would be very happy to quickly work out free travel arrangements!”
In a fundraising email, Tlaib told supporters that Trump's comments were "un-American."
"Three of us were born here, and Ilhan Omar came here as a child, a refugee who is as American as any of us," she wrote. "We all call this country home, and as someone wrote on Twitter today, we’re all more patriotic than Trump will ever be."
The attacks may have been meant to further the divides within the Democrat caucus, strained over internal debates on liberal policies and on whether to proceed with impeachment proceedings against Trump. Instead, Democrats united in denouncing the comments, which evoked the old racist trope of telling a black person to go back to Africa.
“Let’s be clear about what this vile comment is: A racist and xenophobic attack on Democratic congresswomen,” tweeted Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a Democratic presidential candidate.
Another 2020 contender, former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke, tweeted at the president: “This is racist. These congresswomen are every bit as American as you – and represent our values better than you ever will.”
Few Republicans immediately weighed in on the president’s comments, but Rep. Justin Amash of Cascade Township, a Trump critic who recently took steps to leave the Republican party, called the remarks “racist and disgusting.”
Shortly after the tweets, and a later post defending the harsh scenes at a border detention facility where hundreds of migrant men are being held in sweltering, foul-smelling conditions, Trump left the White House to go golfing at his Virginia club.
It was far from the first time that Trump has been accused of holding racist views.
His political career was launched on the backs of falsely claiming that President Barack Obama was not born in the United States. In his campaign kickoff in June 2015, he deemed many Mexican immigrants “rapists.” And last year, during a White House meeting on immigration, he wondered why the United States was admitting so many immigrants from “shithole countries” like Haiti, El Salvador and several African nations.
Ocasio-Cortez, who is of Puerto Rican descent, was born in the Bronx, New York, and raised in suburban Westchester County.
Pressley, the first black woman elected to the House from Massachusetts, was born in Cincinnati.
Omar, the first Somali native elected to Congress and one of its first Muslim women, was born in Somalia but spent much of her childhood in a Kenyan refugee camp as civil war tore apart her home country. She immigrated to the United States at age 12, teaching herself English by watching American TV and eventually settling with her family in Minneapolis.
Tlaib was born in Detroit.
Tlaib and Trump have had a few heated exchanges since she took office. After taking office in January Tlaib said “we’re going to ... impeach the (expletive),” referring to Trump, who called her remarks "disgraceful."
In May, Trump accused Tlaib of being anti-Semitic after an interview in which she spoke of her Palestinian ancestors experience as Israel became a refuge for European Jews after the Holocaust.
So interesting to see “Progressive” Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly......
“Mr. President, As Members of Congress, the only country we swear an oath to is the United States. Which is why we are fighting to protect it from the worst, most corrupt and inept president we have ever seen. … You are stoking white nationalism bc you are angry that people like us are serving in Congress and fighting against your hate-filled agenda.” – Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota on Twitter.

“Racial arsonist strikes again. Shut. Your. Reckless. Mouth. Racist attack on four strongly progressive congresswomen of color will not weaken them. IT ONLY MAKES US STRONGER.” – Rep. Hakeem Jeffries of New York, chairman of the House Democratic Caucus, on Twitter.

“You’re going to have to ask the president what he means by those specific tweets.” – Mark Morgan, acting commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, when asked about the tweets, on CBS’ “Face the Nation.”

“To tell these American citizens (most of whom were born here) to ‘go back’ to the ‘crime infested places from which they came’ is racist and disgusting.” – Rep. Justin Amash of Michigan, a Trump critic who announced this month he was leaving the Republican Party to become an independent.

“This president is hurting our country and bigotry like he just spewed is something that we need to end in this nation.” – New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker, Democratic presidential candidate, speaking to reporters in Pelham, New Hampshire.

“Unfortunately there is an American tradition of telling people to go back where they came from. It’s a very bad tradition that we need to weed out of our nation because we are a nation of immigrants, that is who we are by our nature for hundreds of years. But you don’t expect to hear it from the president of the United States.” – New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, Democratic presidential candidate, on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

“There’s nothing new about denying the belonging of those who call our nation to its highest values and criticize those in power. Those who launch such attacks reveal that they do not understand what is greatest about America.” – Pete Buttigieg, mayor of South Bend, Indiana, and Democratic presidential
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez seems to have put the FEC in a precarious situation.
It seems her political campaign was a Bollywood production.
I am going to remain unbiased and focus on what the Meanies did to my Sweetie, as a point of departure in examining the relevance of this alleged FEC violation, one of hundreds, in political campaigns, originating in the form of child welfare fraud campaigns.
Yes, these political campaigns have become mini-Bollywood productions because we have a global audience and it is only proper to have this new crop of livestream, real life superstars reflect their audience, which is the entire world.
In this Oversight Hearing, AOC clearly lets everyone know, that they are now co-conspirators in the campaign fraud scheme she lays out, which seems to be her own.
Now, she is being promoted in the cyberverse as a "really bad guy" in engaging in the campaign finance practices she laid out in the Oversight Hearing.
Hmmmmmm.......that is what you call a LARP.
Yes, the United States is being humiliated through foreign operations of promoting its "Colored" Revolution LARP.
Racial classifications are considered comedy around the world because it is based upon arcane heuristics implemented through these glorious propaganda campaigns, going all the way back to the crusades, a residual of the peculiar institution, and are used as the "Colored Revolution", or what I like to call, the U.S. Minstrel Show, Bollywood-style.
Yes, U.S. race stories in the media are hilarious outside the U.S. as the theatre absurd.
During the Vietnam War, the magic of television broadcasted for the first time in history how the U.S. treated people who hail from the darker persuasion which, very few people understand, is part of Civil Rights history, but that segment has been omitted from our textbooks.
Now, we have android phones and social media, where foreign interests are putting on full scale political campaign productions for profit through #cyberwars.
Rashida pulled that "I am a woman of color" crap in a congressional hearing, almost making a fellow member cry, when, if she actually knew what she was talking about, according to OMB Directive 15, she is not a woman of color, but hey, what do I know?
I know that she has no clue about the SCOTUS case on that very same question, if she is a woman of color, under the question of citizenship on the census.
That case is going to be fun because all the other DACA/DAPA cases that did not make it, are going to be pulled in under the question of the personae, or rather the children's trusts, which is why I do not understand why SCOTUS would not enjoin them.
It is all going to come out.
Unfortunately, I believe there is a possibility that a few of these political actors are just really good in executing acts of moral turpitude.
This is a transposable model because I know a few other Chiefs of Staff who were doing waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy more scandalous stuff than what Trump has in his backpocket.
If AOC and her crew is found to have engaged in illegal activities, well, guess what!
(FOX NEWS) - New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Saikat Chakrabarti, the progressive firebrand's multimillionaire chief of staff, apparently violated campaign finance law by funneling nearly $1 million in contributions from political action committees Chakrabarti established to private companies that he also controlled, according to an explosive complaint filed Monday with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) and obtained by Fox News.
Amid the allegations, a former FEC commissioner late Monday suggested in an interview with The Daily Caller News Foundation that Ocasio-Cortez and her team could separately be facing major fines and potentially even jail time if they were knowingly and willfully violating the law by hiding their control of the Justice Democrats political action committee (PAC).
Such an arrangement could have allowed Ocasio-Cortez's campaign to receive donations in excess of the normal limit, by pooling contributions to both the PAC and the campaign itself.
The FEC complaint asserts that Chakrabarti established two PACs, the Brand New Congress PAC and Justice Democrats PAC, and then systematically transferred more than $885,000 in contributions received by those PACs to the Brand New Campaign LLC and the Brand New Congress LLC -- companies that, unlike PACs, are exempt from reporting all of their significant expenditures.
The PACs claimed the payments were for "strategic consulting."
Although large financial transfers from PACs to LLCs are not necessarily improper, the complaint argues that the goal of the "extensive" scheme was seemingly to illegally dodge detailed legal reporting requirements of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, which are designed to track campaign expenditures.
