I can remember them days when the junk food media was talking about how the Tea Party movement was considered too extreme for Republicans. I can remember them years when Republicans were having trouble trying to corral lawmakers like Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) and the lawmakers in the Freedom Caucus. I remember the junk food media were saying that the Tea Party movement will never take control of Congress and be regarded as fringe.
Well they managed to take back the House of Representatives in 2010 and the Senate in 2014. They managed to obstruct Barack Obama. Now the very same folks are talking about how "The Squad" may hurt the Democrats in 2020 when it comes to the U.S. Elections.
Well they could but guess what.....So is the Democratic establishment. The so-called "geniuses" who lead the House and minority in the Senate.
Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Mitch McConnell, Kevin McCarthy, Dick Durbin, Steny Hoyer, John Cornyn, Chuck Grassley, Steve Scalise and Jim Clyburn are long-term establishment figures. They are so wrapped in the "status quo."
With the exception of Clyburn who is Black, the rest of them are white, old, rich, polarizing and divisive. They want to protect the "status quo" and people are tired of it.
This paved the way for Donald J. Trump to become the fucking president. A former reality television personality and shitty business executive is the current leader of this nation. A guy who says shit without thinking. They want Joe Biden to apologize for shit and yet they can't get this asshole in the White House to apologize for posting shit on social media.
We should of seen it coming.
Donald J. Trump just tweeted this morning this.
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......— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 14, 2019
....and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run. Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how....— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 14, 2019
....it is done. 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!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 14, 2019
He singled out Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) in response. He took aim at Omar especially after watching the bullshit carnival of Tucker Carlson.
Omar is Somali-American and Muslim. She is a congresswoman from Minnesota. She and family were refugees from Somalia. She came to the country when she was 10 years old.
Tlaib, Pressley and Ocasio-Cortez were born in the United States. But they have backgrounds that equate diversity and progress.
Last week Carlson went ballistic on Omar and this was the first official response from Trump.
Trump is basically telling Omar to go back to Africa. He is basically tweeting to white extremists that if you don't like the way things are going in the United States, get out of the country.
That is an old troupe of white extremists. They want to marginalize people of color with that rhetoric.
When Sen. Mitch McConnell decided to throw Barack Obama into his racist remark about reparations, he said his presidency was the reaction towards slavery.
The lawmakers responded to the remarks.
Mr. President, the country I “come from,” & the country we all swear to, is the United States.— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) July 14, 2019
But given how you’ve destroyed our border with inhumane camps, all at a benefit to you & the corps who profit off them, you are absolutely right about the corruption laid at your feet. https://t.co/HLKQCotR8T
You are angry because you don’t believe in an America where I represent New York 14, where the good people of Minnesota elected @IlhanMN, where @RashidaTlaib fights for Michigan families, where @AyannaPressley champions little girls in Boston.— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) July 14, 2019

You are angry because you can’t conceive of an America that includes us. You rely on a frightened America for your plunder.— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) July 14, 2019
You won’t accept a nation that sees healthcare as a right or education as a #1 priority, especially where we’re the ones fighting for it.
Yet here we are.
But you know what’s the rub of it all, Mr. President?— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) July 14, 2019
On top of not accepting an America that elected us, you cannot accept that we don’t fear you,either.
You can’t accept that we will call your bluff & offer a positive vision for this country. And that’s what makes you seethe.
THIS is what racism looks like. WE are what democracy looks like. And we’re not going anywhere. Except back to DC to fight for the families you marginalize and vilify everyday. pic.twitter.com/vYzoxCgN0X— Ayanna Pressley (@AyannaPressley) July 14, 2019
Want a response to a lawless & complete failure of a President?— Rashida Tlaib (@RashidaTlaib) July 14, 2019
He is the crisis.
His dangerous ideology is the crisis.
He needs to be impeached.
Yo @realDonaldTrump, I am fighting corruption in OUR country. I do it every day when I hold your admin accountable as a U.S. Congresswoman. Detroit taught me how to fight for the communities you continue to degrade & attack. Keep talking, you’ll be out of the WH soon. #TickTock— Rashida Tlaib (@RashidaTlaib) July 14, 2019
#13thDistrictStrong: I will #neverbackdown and no bully, even this racist President, will waiver the work we have to do for our residents of Wayne County. Together, we will fight back, speak truth to power, and become stronger for it. #rootedincommunity #BoostAct #JusticeforAll pic.twitter.com/XkAcPA3FlL— Rashida Tlaib (@RashidaTlaib) July 14, 2019
Mr. President,— Ilhan Omar (@IlhanMN) July 14, 2019
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. https://t.co/FBygHa2QTt
You are stoking white nationalism bc you are angry that people like us are serving in Congress and fighting against your hate-filled agenda.— Ilhan Omar (@IlhanMN) July 14, 2019

When @realDonaldTrump tells four American Congresswomen to go back to their countries, he reaffirms his plan to “Make America Great Again” has always been about making America white again.— Nancy Pelosi (@SpeakerPelosi) July 14, 2019
Our diversity is our strength and our unity is our power. https://t.co/ODqqHneyES
Ocasio-Cortez, who was born in the Bronx to parents of Puerto Rican descent, said: "You are angry because you can't conceive of an America that includes us."

| America's racist-in-chief. |
Omar replied to Trump by accusing him of "stoking white nationalism." And Tlaib said, "I am fighting corruption in OUR country." She added: "Detroit taught me how to fight for the communities you continue to degrade & attack."
Tlaib was born in Detroit to Palestinian parents. In 2018, she and Omar became the first two Muslim women to ever be elected to Congress.
Trump's decision to highlight the simmering tension inside the Democratic caucus appeared to have one clear effect: uniting the party in defense of the four freshman lawmakers.
Pelosi said the tweets "reaffirms [that] his plan to "Make America Great Again" has always been about making America white again," she said, adding that Trump's "xenophobic comments" were intended to "divide our nation."
