.MaddowBlog: Pres. Trump defends his 'go back' tweets, says ‘many people agree’ with him.
If Donald Trump intended to spark a controversy with his racist tweets directed at four Democratic congresswomen, he succeeded.
He added, in apparent reference to elected American congresswomen, “These are people that. in my opinion. hate our country.” Trump soon after argued, over and over again, that his critics are welcome to leave the country. The repetition doesn’t make presidential rhetoric like this any less offensive. Trump’s line is quite plainly a direct an attack on dissent. In the American tradition, those who are dissatisfied with the country’s direction are encouraged to become politically engaged and work to produce change.
There was a six-word slogan in the Vietnam era, repeated by war supporters: “America: Love It or Leave It.” The idea, evidently, has been re-embraced by the current president.
