Her statement was basically saying that some Muslims did something that all Muslims essentially got blamed for. That's not at all untrue, because after 9/11 you did have Muslims being attacked and even Sikhs were attacked after being mistaken for Muslims.

She described the 9/11 attacks "as some people who did something"
Some people did do something and that something was a terrorist attack. Attacking someone because their language isn't dramatic enough is stupid.

We should have just let her ungrateful self rot in the Somali trash pit she crawled herself out of.
Attacking someone for their ethnicity when you have no argument, the easiest way to spot a lost cause racist hack. Go get better arguments after you crawl out of the toxicity of Cthulhu’s derrière.
It is a statement of facts to call Somalia a trash pit. And our country has obviously shown her much more kindness than her birthplace ever has, or else she wouldn't be here.

If you think pointing out the truth is "racist" (which is hilarious considering I made NO mention of her race), you need help.

Semantics. Your statement was bigoted.

I'd take your use of (as well as the use of it by others) "bigoted" seriously if red avvies like yourself didn't use it to simply mean "things we disagree with".


Oh, sweetheart your act is old. I don't call everyone who disagrees with me bigoted. I call out ridiculous people.

On another note, Somalia had no government for many years so I don't know why conservatives have a problem with it since they think government shouldn't exist. It was the perfect model for conservatism.

"I call out ridiculous people."

"Conservatives think the government shouldn't exist."

...

You're right, I am wrong. Conservatives are pro-government when it comes to abortion, gay marriage and other social issues.

Lest we forget that Trump twice asked someone to shoot Hillary Clinton and conservative land laughed it up saying it was a joke. Incitement is very real and if someone that Trump has constantly attacked gets hurt then he will be partially to blame. Words do count.

With that said, this is the man who was glad that 9/11 happened because it meant that his building would be the tallest. Maybe someone should put that in an ad.
