The ESPN host said he found the attacks on Omar to be un-American and deeply offensive, and that it was wrong of Trump to seek re-election by dividing people.
So what part of that was so off base?

Disney/ABC/ESPN

One should never think about ESPN on a stand-alone basis. Disney owns ESPN, hence the constant 24/7 diet of social engineering and Far Left advocacy.

Disney ruins almost everything they control, whether it's a sports network, child stars, or anything else under their sphere of influence.

I didn’t like the chant; but Trump didn’t lead it.
And I don’t believe that Trump is seeking re-election via divisive means.

But that’s beside the point.
It’s a sports channel—one that already has a history of making inappropriate political remarks.
For those of us who vehemently disagree with ESPN’s ideological bent, it’s annoying that for certain events, it’s the only option.

As I'm sure you know, Ilhan Omar has spoken about Al Qaeda while beaming with pride. She has refused to condemn the ANTIFA attack on ICE, and she is trying to implement a boycott of Israel.

But Trump's a racist for justifiably attacking this little ball of hate? ESPN will only continue to lose subscribers by doubling down on this insanity.

That’s a cop-out. He didn’t tell them to return to their liberal universities.

His tweet perfectly aligns with his shithole foreign policy theory that so many on this board agree with. It is racist, and that’s why many of his supporters love it. They subscribe to the same theory, that the US will become the next Rhodesia if we keep letting brown people have power.

As a person of color, I find this default assumption far more racist than anything trump has ever said.

Mmmkay.

I don't expect a tds victim to have any perspective other than hate fuelled by your media.

This is a waste of time.

This just got interesting. Please go on.

I think Trump attacked women’s credibility by using their ancestral homes as his basis. My pointing this out is MORE racist than telling black women to go back to Africa?

Please explain. I’m fascinated.

You unwittingly present a perfect example from the past.

You idiot. I'd love to have brown people help keep you socialists at bay. Give me tbird over you all day everyday. Guess what, tbird is a brown person. You people are weak and toss out the racist card when you get upset.

Pathetic

I play the race card when I see actual racism. Trump pointed to black women’s ancestral countries as the basis to dismiss their criticisms. He said they have no right to say how things should be done until their ancestral homes were fixed.

What do their ancestral homes have to do with anything if not race?

If Trump’s statement is not racist, what is?

I could be wrong. DGAF either way. It's not your skin I dislike. It's your ideology.

Hint, hint

Eta: thanks for helping me set this up

Trump told women that openly hate America to go back to the countries from which they came...fix them...THEN COME BACK and show us how it is done. To any non-racist person, that is him telling these women To stop hating the greatest country on earth, especially when the countries you want to be more like and came from are complete disasters.

Of course that is far more racist. What trump said, objectively, had nothing to do with race. For you to turn it into something racial is pretty friecking racist.


Tell us, what is your definition of racism and how does trumps tweet meet the definition?
I’m fascinated.

He told them they're free to leave if America is so evil. That's not racist, unless you're trying to be offended
