Trump steps up attack on 'US-hating' congresswomen
US President Donald Trump has redoubled his attack on four Democratic congresswomen, accusing them of "hating our country".
"If you are not happy, if you are complaining all the time, you can leave," he told a heated news conference outside the White House.Go back where? To the state they were born in? They're US CITIZENS.
How stupid is this guy?
Ilhan Omar may be a citizen but was not born in this country. So not so stupid after all. He is technically correct.
He said it about four people, three of whom were born in the US. And he told them to go back and fix their own corrupt governments, which is himself. So not technically correct, nor smart. As incorrect and dumb as it gets. He totally burned himself and got it wrong, all in one go.
So not correct in any way, just because one single person in a group was born abroad doesn't make that "home", nor does it apply to others. Sorry, but this doesn't help make him "less wrong" in any way.
In social context, if there is one man in a group of women, most people will say, "Come on guys, lets go!" Same context here.
Doesn't mean he is totally correct but correct enough.
Not the same. Telling a group of people to "go back where they came from" is first, hate speech and as anti-American as it can get, it's illegal in most places and has no place in a civilized society. But beyond that, it's in no way like the example you gave. In that example, it is all people going somewhere. In this example, it is telling a group of people something that technically applies to none of them and if you stretch it, maybe kinda of applies to one, but not really. So in no interpretation can it make sense.

When is "wrong" = "correct enough"? That's not how correct works.

I think you are using the "guys" to mean "all people" here, instead of "ladies" or whatever. That's nothing like what he did.
It would be like if you were one person in a group of five, all five of which live in a house but one is a more recent renter, and you told all of them that they don't belong there and need to go "back to their own homes" while standing in their home... all of their home.
In which case, if you did that, people would think you were both mean and crazy. As it's wrong in every way.

I have to call BS on this one. Read the ENTIRE tweet.
He told them to go leave and FIX the issues in their country and come back with the solutions.

For it to be "right" in any way, would imply that Trump doesn't believe in US law and immigration. If that's true, he also believes that his own family isn't American and doesn't belong. And by extension, no one belongs as this is a country of immigrants. There is no way to make his logic hold up.

Right, and THEIR country is AMERICA. Period.

And he is the problem that they need to fix.
SO, if you think that he's telling them that they need to fix on removing him from the country he is trying to destroy, then yes, he's a bit crazy, but correct. The only country for them to "go back to" is America. There is no other option. They are American.

Ocasio-Cortez, Pressley and Tlaib were born in the United States. Omar came to the United States from Somalia as a child and is a naturalized citizen.
For anyone to believe someone can "go back", would require them to not believe in America and American immigration. And if "born in America" and naturalized citizens aren't Americans, who is? None of us, that's for sure. Certainly not Trump.

You may think he is a problem and we will agree to disagree on this.

Now your going out on huge flimsy limbs here and becoming illogical.

I do, but more importantly, he does. That's what his tweet said. He told people to go to American and fix it.
You can like him or support him, that's fine. But this tweet doesn't hold up. On its own, the Tweet is crazy. Whether it is a one off or standard is disputable. But there is no ground for this tweet to not be both crazy, and hate speech.

What? He told them to go back to their home and fix it. Their home is America. As non-flimsy and it gets. There is no other possible interpretation. There is no other country but America in the context. None.

Trump is not crazy. He is just doing a few things that NEED to be done and bleeding hearts don't like the reality of the world.
Trump even offered them up a great deal too. He basically said, "Show me the Money!" Go out, fix it and bring back solutions. Nothing wrong with that.
As for racism, those four need to look inwards. It is rampant.

There is a lot wrong with it. He told them to go "back to their own countries"... he said that TO AMERICANS.
There can be no defense of this. This is hate speech.
Trying to make it sound not crazy by ignoring the key portion that underpins the rest doesn't hold up. Go back "where" and fix "what" and bring "what" back? So the implication is that some foreign country needs to teach us how to be a good country, but no idea which ones or who is supposed to do what? It's crazy.

That may or may not be true, but using racism to excuse racism doesn't work either. We can't say "someone else is racist, so it is okay for us to be." Racism is wrong, regardless of if someone else is also racist. If they are being racists, then that is obviously wrong too. But no matter how racist they may be, that is neither here nor there.
One bad white person being racist would never excuse treating all white people as racist, for example.

That tweet had not hate speech at all. My goodness!

"go back where you came from" said to Americans is hate speech. There is no grey area there. It is a standard, well know hate speech phrase used to tell minorities that America is for whites only. It is one of the key examples of standard hate speech.

In what way did I bypass them? I did nothing of the sort. What are you on about? I simply said that if they did that, it would never excuse Trump or anyone else of being racist because of it.
