So you're saying that they have the right to say what they want but no one else has the right to tell them to get bent? Sounds like a big old double standard, either everyone is free to say what they want or only those supported by a majority or the law will be.

And abortion and murder being synonymous is entirely yours.

But you are defending a congresswomans right to downplay 9/11!!!!!

Also, you continue to not use the rest of the quote from POTUS. You are literally echoing the MSM.

It's her right to downplay 9/11 just as it's Trump's right to say that the white males marching with tiki torches and chanting anti-Semitic slogans were very fine people. You can be stupid and still be Constitutionally protected. You cannot incite violence and remain within the coverage of the First Amendment. The "workplace harassment" garbage is just that, garbage. But when a President tells four women belonging to various minorities (three of whom were born here and the fourth was naturalized) to go back where they came from, it's a threat. "Love it or leave it" from the Drifter is just a parrot repeating his favorite buzzwords, but when the President says it and means it, it's a threat. 

The sheer number of people in this thread dismissing, downplaying, even pushing the boundaries of defending racism, saying that minorities bring it on themselves, placing false equivalency between white men being arrested while not acknowledging that it happens much more frequently with black men, even saying that abortion is the reason the black community is so badly left behind, it all blows my mind that I'm reading this from some of you. I thought better of you, but I guess I'm starting to really see who here thinks for themselves and who here just repeats what Donald Trump or AOC tells them to say. This board is starting to feel a little too much like Twitter.
