I am so grateful to have been born in Canada. I’m acutely aware of how much better my life is compared to if I had been born in either of my parents’ homelands. I love Canada and being Canadian. That’s why being told ‘go back to your country’ hurt so much. /1

But it was not a valid response from President to a Congresswoman when it’s her job to criticize the govt. I know the bar is so low now and we’ve lost all sense of what should be Presidential behavior, but those comments are so dangerous because they’ve opened a floodgate /3

I’m enraged that Richard Spencer was on CNN responding to this issue. How is his ilk normalized and on mainstream media now? Everyone gets called racist all day so now the word has no meaning to the point that white supremacists are getting invited on shows like anyone else?? /4

The word still has a meaning. Sometimes it’s grey and muddy and sometimes it’s neon fucking yellow. Normalizing the grey and muddy rolls out the red carpet for the neon fucking yellow. /5

For those not getting it: I don’t like any of the ‘squad’ and I will not defend their actions. That’s not the point of this rant. Trump could have criticized them without invoking racist sounding language. That is the issue here. He crossed the line. /6

The lines are all blurry. When both Trump and Pelosi get called racist in the same week...you might as well get Richard Fucking Spence on CNN because nobody knows where any lines are now anyway.

So curious what your mother’s answers were when you asked. These 4 ungrateful people spend all their time bashing the American people and our Constitution. That’s what he was lashing out at from a position of love for my country. I don’t like that he Tweeted, but it’s honest.

Again these four redefine the meaning of words to suit their own agenda.
