11 comebacks to Donald Trump’s “I don’t have a racist bone in my body” claim
You can’t have failed to notice the uproar surrounding racist subtweets posted by Donald Trump and clearly aimed at four congresswomen of colour. These are the petulant, dog-whistling comments.
So interesting to see “Progressive” Democrat Congresswomen, who originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all), now loudly……

….and viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run. Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how….

….it is done. These places need your help badly, you can’t leave fast enough. I’m sure that Nancy Pelosi would be very happy to quickly work out free travel arrangements!

The women in question, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, and Rashida Tlaib, are all American citizens, three born in the USA and one, Ilhan Omar, resident there since 1992, several years before Melania Trump moved to America.
Having been widely condemned for the tweets, and facing official censure from the Democrat-ruled House of Representatives, Trump had another internet outburst – what a shocker.
Those Tweets were NOT Racist. I don’t have a Racist bone in my body! The so-called vote to be taken is a Democrat con game. Republicans should not show “weakness” and fall into their trap. This should be a vote on the filthy language, statements and lies told by the Democrat…..

Hmm, I wonder why Trump hasn’t asked me to “go home"—even though I was born in Pakistan. Because this isn’t about birthplace, it’s about race. This is a moment when every true American has a choice: stand up to our racist President or be complicit. Our children are watching. https://t.co/2TL6nwpOro

'Just because you say & do racist things doesn't mean you're racist' is not the best argument I've heard a racist use to defend their racism. https://t.co/aHwPnuciNK

‘I don’t have a racist bone in my body.’
Also Trump…
‘I’m in perfect shape.’

The TranslateTrump account not only disagreed with him, but came bearing proof.
You "don't have a racist bone" in your body? How about:
– Birtherism
– Housing Discrimination
– The Central Park 5
– "Mexicans are Rapists"
– "Migrants are Animals"
– "Infested by Immigrants"
– "Shithole Countries"
– Muslim BanSeems to me your whole goddam skeleton is racist.
