  1. You’d think this headline wasn’t the norm, yet here we are.

  3. This woman is actively trying to install a Nazi dictator in the White House. Full stop. That’s what Trump is and if you support him so are you.

  4. Just imagine what they’d be capable of if they didn’t need to use half their mind to justify/excuse/explain his newest fuckups all the time.

  5. The deflecting and interpretation of Trump is pretty pathetic. Just own it and I would respect you more. It won’t lose you supporters either. Disgusting all the same to me.

  6. It’s not xenophobia. It’s omniphobia. They’re simultaneously the biggest bunch of alpha males *and* terrified about *everything* that doesn’t conform to their worldview.

  8. Trump has nothing against immigrants…….he thinks everyone should own one or two.

  9. I honestly can’t imagine how exhausting it must be for these people who literally attempt every day to explain away what Trump says and does. And they do it so poorly. But God damn the effort they must put into this must be truly, truly exhausting.

  10. >”Well, I don’t think that’s what he was saying,” Malliotakis said to Phillip. “When he said they are poisoning, I think he was talking with the Democratic policies. I think he was talking about open border policy.” Phillip then countered, “Congresswoman, you’re saying that’s what you think he’s saying but he was pretty clear. He was saying that the immigrants who are coming in, he says they’re poisoning the blood of the nation. He was talking about people, not policy.” Malliotakis argued that Trump can’t be anti-immigrant, as “some people are trying to make” him seem, because he has both married and employed them in the past.

    Ah yes, the old “He can’t be racist, he has a brown friend” defense.

  11. Waiting for the “He just said that as a joke” excuse. Or did that already happen? I’ve heard it so often..

  12. Unfortunately being from NYC, I recognized the hideous thumbnail immediately.

    Malliotakis reps *Staten Island*, the reddest and most malodorous borough of my city.

    I knew she was dangerous, but here she is, I believe first-generation American from Greek immigrant parents, defending remarks even Trump’s own party is very publicly distancing themselves from because they are so clearly radioactive…I mean, if you’re Latino and vote for Trump after that, I don’t know what to tell ya! It couldn’t be any clearer, more present, or more dangerous.

  13. CNN BREAKING NEWS: CNN does bare minimum of what is expected.

    We will continue to report on this same story hour after hour, despite no new developments, with wild speculation and opinions from barely qualified talking heads.

  14. “Well, that’s true!”

    “So you agree that he was talking about immigrants?”

    “Wait, no…”

    Fucking perfectly played.

  15. What republican hasn’t been “flailing” when talking about Trump?!

  16. > “Well, I don’t think that’s what he was saying,” Malliotakis said to Phillip. “When he said they are poisoning, I think he was talking with the Democratic policies.

    For a guy who supposedly “tells it like it is,” he sure does need a lot of interpreters.

    > Malliotakis argued that Trump can’t be anti-immigrant, as “some people are trying to make” him seem, because he has both married and employed them in the past.

    “I have immigrant friends.”

  17. I don’t like driving thru Staten Island so afraid the stupid rubs off on me… so exhausted with all this right wing fascist nonsense

  18. She’s stupid and assumes others are just as stupid.

    This is common with dipshits.

  19. My gardner is an immigrant, therefore I cannot be racist.

  20. Racists can indeed date and marry immigrants and women of color. Look at Donald sterling. Especially if they are misogynists who don’t think women are equals to begin with.

  22. She has aged 20 years during her time shilling for Trump. Just look at her congressional picture then look at her today……

  23. Do they really have nothing other than “Trump didn’t really *say* that, he *meant*…” in eight years?

  24. Open border policy isn’t a thing in America. Idk why they don’t put their dicks in the dirt every time they say that bullshit dog whistle nonsense. Biden and Obama both have deported more people than Trump admin did.

  25. They love what he says so much that they deny he ever said anything he is shown on video saying. Must be such good words they cancel themselves out.

  26. No matter you dress up what Trump says the man is still a pig!

  27. “Remember…it’s not a lie if you believe it”

    – George Costanza

  28. Well she doesn’t “look American” so we better start by deporting her…

    /s in the event that wasn’t obvious… 🤦🤦🤦🤦

  29. I love how they try to tell us, “Oh he didn’t mean that, he meant ‘some bullshit we know he didn’t mean.”

  30. Just wait til he starts talking about a “final solution”.

  31. Only Nazi’s protect Nazi’s. Get Eva Braun out of here

  32. Plantation owners couldn’t have been white supremacists because they had black people working for them.

    – GOP

  33. For a man that “says it like it is” he sure as shit has a ton of translators telling us what “he meant.”
