'They simply do not meet the standard definition of racist, a word so recklessly flung around these days that its actual meaning is being lost,' Brit Hume argued.
Fox News senior political analyst Brit Hume drew significant criticism on Monday after he tweeted that President Donald Trump's controversial"go back" tweets were"xenophobic" and"politically stupid," but not"racist."
Trumpâs âgo backâ comments were nativist, xenophobic, counterfactul and politically stupid. But they simply do not meet the standard definition of racist, a word so recklessly flung around these days that its actual meaning is being lost.Although Trump did not mention specific names, it was clear that he was referring to Democratic Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota.
Democratic Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan listen as Michael Cohen, former attorney and fixer for President Donald Trump, testifies before the House Oversight Committee on February 27 in Washington, D.C.But Hume wouldn't accept that the comments were"racist," despite many others from across the political spectrum arguing they were.
you donât think xenophobia and nativism against American citizens *born in America* doesnât meet the definition of racism."If you are a conservative who can't condemn Trump's hate-mongering without including a 'but' sit down and spare us your fake ass sincerity," activist and filmmaker Adam Best wrote.
