Brat Pack Says They Country Belongs To Everyone, Including Those Who Hate The Country

There are certainly times when Trump could turn the volume down from 30 to 25, but, admit it, Republicans have been begging for the elected Republicans to fight back against the Democrats and their constant unhinged attacks for decades, especially since the Bush years. Democrats have been able to say whatever they want whenever they want, and Republicans were supposed to just take it, and, for the most part, they did. Politics is a dirty nasty business wrapped in a veneer of civility. Dems have dumped that civility, with the help of the Democrat run media. Trump is just bringing it back to the Dems.

Trump says they ‘hate our country.’ The Democrats he attacked say the country ‘belongs to everyone.’

President Trump on Monday defended his racist remarks about four minority lawmakers by alleging that they “hate our country” and should leave if they are unhappy — leading the Democratic congresswomen to respond by offering a competing vision of America that they said was based on inclusiveness.

Right there, this is the media writing a story attempting to defend the Brat Pack, or The Squad, if you like, as well as all Democrats. It’s editorializing in what is supposed to be a straight news piece, in which the Washington Post writers have interjected their opinion that Trump’s comments were raaaaacist.

Trump’s comments, delivered in response to questions at a White House event ostensibly about American products, marked an escalation of a series of weekend tweets in which the president said the four Democrats should “go back” to “the crime infested places from which they came.” Three of the lawmakers were born in the United States, and the fourth is a U.S. citizen born in Somalia.

When asked if he was bothered that many people viewed the remarks as racist and that white nationalists found common cause with them, Trump said: “It doesn’t concern me because many people agree with me. And all I’m saying: They want to leave, they can leave.”

The four Democrats — Reps. Ayanna Pressley (Mass.), Rashida Tlaib (Mich.), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.) and Ilhan Omar (Minn.) — responded with a joint news conference late Monday in which they sought to contrast their efforts on issues such as health care and immigration with the president’s actions.

Interestingly, they barely talked about how they love America. Mostly, they talked about wanting to change America to something else.

Trump said the four lawmakers — informally known as “the Squad” on Capitol Hill — have been “complaining constantly” about the United States. “These are people that hate our country,” he said. “They hate our country. They hate it, I think, with a passion.”

And he suggested several times that the group should simply leave the United States. “If you’re not happy here, then you can leave,” he said, to applause from those gathered for the business-focused event. “As far as I’m concerned, if you hate our country, if you’re not happy here, you can leave.”

Perhaps they can take all the celebrities and sports figures and such who promised to leave the U.S. if Trump won, but never did, with them. Seriously, you can’t sit there and say you love something but then say that you want to change everything about the thing you say you love.

“I want to tell children across this country . . . that no matter what the president says, this country belongs to you, and it belongs to everyone,” Ocasio-Cortez said, recounting a childhood trip to the Reflecting Pool on the Mall.

So, it belongs to the America haters, as well?

In a trio of tweets Monday evening, the president tried again to explain what several White House aides claimed was the original intent of his tweets — that individuals who are not happy in the United States are free to live elsewhere — while simultaneously demonizing the four minority lawmakers without naming them.

“We will never be a Socialist or Communist Country,” Trump wrote. “IF YOU ARE NOT HAPPY HERE, YOU CAN LEAVE!”

“Certain people,” he added, “HATE our Country. They are anti-Israel, pro Al-Qaeda, and comment on the 9/11 attack, ‘some people did something.’ ”

Omar, AOC, and Pressley refused to condemn the violent attacks on the ICE facility. AOC called pictures of 9/11 “triggering” and said they shouldn’t be shown. Omar tap-danced around questions about her support for terrorists.

Since the media refuses to provide any context, a thread of statements made by the socialist “squad” in the House:

Reading that whole thread is worth the time. The Brat Pack wants to destroy America, they hate Israel and Jews, a few seem to be pro-terrorist, they want open borders, want the government to control the economy, and want the government to control your life. Rarely will you hear them talk about loving America. So, they can screech about raaaaacism all they want, which is their default position, but they cannot answer the charges against them.
