Rep. Meeks Condemns Trump’s Offensive “Sh*thole” Comment [THREAD 1/9] http://bit.ly/2AUp9ml pic.twitter.com/rJXeqd0NIY
“I am bitterly ashamed by our President’s heaving ignorant comments...I am not alone; people around the world awoke to another episode of Donald Trump diminishing the United States’ world standing with repulsive and blatantly racist comments." (2/9)
“Lest we forget, Haitians shed blood on American soil in the Revolutionary War, fighting for our nation’s independence. It’s clear that President Trump lacks basic world knowledge and an appreciation for that history..." (3/9)http://bit.ly/2AUp9ml
“The President insulted African countries & African people, demonstrating his cluelessness about the strength, prosperity, & stability that exist across Africa. He seems unaware that many African nations partner with us to further our shared security & prosperity." (4/9)pic.twitter.com/0Ez0TKvl6M
“My deep concern is that President Trump’s obvious racism and obliviousness will continue to be embedded in his policies. One must wonder whether it was the basis for his recent decisions to expire Temporary Protected Status..." (5/9)
"One must question whether his evident prejudice is the reason he has failed to acknowledge the tremendous contributions of certain immigrant communities." (6/9) http://bit.ly/2AUp9ml pic.twitter.com/V720FhZySH
“This ignorance & racism isn't new. Time & time again, Trump has pushed discriminatory policies & spewed racist rhetoric. I am disappointed when many of my Republican colleagues fail to speak out against President Trump’s repeated assaults on basic American values..." (7/9)
"In this instance, with only a few honorable exceptions, their deafening silence continues. American values and American promise aren’t bound by color, by party, by creed, or by religion, and our nation’s leaders should act accordingly..." (8/9)http://bit.ly/2AUp9ml
“As we honor MLK Jr., I am reminded of his prescient words, ‘History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people.’” (9/9 END) http://bit.ly/2AUp9ml pic.twitter.com/TFRfZFyNnK
