Republican politicians have offered proof that they are the party of racism. Their inactions in Washington continue as they treat minorities differently than whites.

The shocking truth is that members of the Republican Party; the voting members; are confirming their support of Trump and his support of white nationalism, while displaying hatred for Hispanics and apathy for African Americans.

If you do not think that Trump’s comments of “go back where you came from,” and “if you don’t like it here, leave,” are blatant racism, you are a racist. Terms such as these have been considered racist for decades.

Real Americans continue to condemn Trump for his hate-filled rhetoric. Republicans see it differently; or are pretending to have a different opinion.

When Trump’s cult began to chant “send her back” at a hate rally in North Carolina, he basked in their support for 12 full seconds. Later he claimed to begin speaking immediately to quiet his loyal supporters. He lied. This is another established racist attack.

“In a poll conducted by Politico/Morning Consult, 58% of Americans said that “Send her back” chants directed at Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and incited last week by Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Greenville, North Carolina, were racist, as were Trump’s tweets attacking Omar and three other congresswomen of color. The partisan split was immense, with 87% of Democrats saying the chants were racist, 58% of independents agreeing, but only 24% of Republicans saying so.”

For the last two-and-one-half years I have not been proud of my country; I have been ashamed, and no, Donny Boy, I am not leaving. You will be leaving Washington and the sooner the better. I am disappointed that most men and women who identify themselves as Republicans also admit they are racists.

After the Robert Mueller hearings today, the House has more than enough information to impeach Trump. Mueller confirmed his own words that his report in no way exonerated Trump from criminal activity, and that he could be prosecuted for obstruction of justice when he leaves office.

If he could be prosecuted for leading the white supremacy movement in America, he would be in an orange jumpsuit already.

The truth lives here. Tell everyone about my blog.
