    Matt Lewis Retweeted Rukmini Callimachi

    This tweet is arguably just as telling, elitist, and out of touch as what Trump said...https://twitter.com/rcallimachi/status/951804764592906240 …

    Rukmini CallimachiVerified account @rcallimachi
    For 7 years, I lived in a country that is included in the s***hole category. Without exageration, it was the best quality of life I have ever had in terms of my housing, leisure opportunities, spa treatments, access to healthcare etc. I’m roughing it in New York, by comparison.

        Arguably, yes. Although the problem with Trump’s comment is that it was bigoted and malicious IN ADDITION to elitist and naive. Also, only one of the people you quoted was a sitting POTUS engaged in a high-stakes policy negotiation.

        I just pray that we never have a Democratic president who is as morally corroded and indefensible as Donald Trump. Lewis is as decent and intellectually honest as any conservative out there, and if he’s been reduced to this, I can only hope I never have to face the same test.

        I hope he just missed the mark here - we do need intellectually responsible arguments on the other side but this is not one

        I’m pretty sure ‘spa treatment’ was a simply a direct response to what someone might ordinarily associate, or not, with a ‘shithole’

        Are you trying to win some sort of prize for Trumpian asininity? How the hell can you possibly judge what she said without knowing what the country was, where she lived in it? And no, spa treatments are not elitist or out of touch in most of the world.

        Truth is that there are shitholes everywhere including in America. If you're high up on the income scale, you can have a good life anywhere in the world.

        Just pick any old trash up off twitter to justify your “whataboutism.” @realDonaldTrump is the standard bearer for the GOP. It’s insane. The GOP is insane. You’re insane.

        @LizMair honestly, how so? NYC in general is extremely hard to live without high 6 figures. Most "real" Nyers don't live in NY anymore.
