What a crock. A vile little hit piece from rabidly anti-Trump WaPo.
Am I the only person who thinks this whole brouhaha about "send her back" is a big nothing burger. Consider these quotes from the article:
ZitatCredulous pundits told us for days that President Trump’s racist attacks on nonwhite lawmakers were brilliant politics, but Republicans disagree
ZitatTrump pretended to disavow the chant on Thursday
ZitatBut it’s now inarguable that Trump’s overall immigration agenda is shaped around the broader goal of preventing as many people as possible from getting asylum and refugee status here even if they qualify for it on the merits.
ZitatSo I submit to you that the key difference is twofold: Trump’s naked hatred and cruelty was captured on live television, and along with it so was the seething anger of the hard-core Trump base.
That is how the "progressives" seek to frame it, but all the chant really meant was in the President's words, "If you don't like it here [Omar], leave."
It seems to me the Left was lying in wait for something, anything, to attack the President with their favorite smear: "racist". A purposeful misinterpretation of the phrase "send her back" served their purposes, and, echoing Goebbels, they are repeating and repeating their lie endlessly.
If anyone disagrees with me please say so, but should you do so, please also explain to me what is racist about "send her back"
