What she said was a slap in the face to every American, what are you talking about?When a person is the President, and they have the kind of platform they do, they have a higher responsibility to be careful what they say.Another Trump communication that puts people's lives in danger. This time was Trump's 9/11 video targeting Rep. Omar, who has been receiving death threats because of the video. Trump was asked if he felt sorry about it.
"Trump was asked by KSTP on Monday if he had any second thoughts about tweeting the video out.
“No, not at all,” he said. “Look — she's been very disrespectful to this country. She’s been very disrespectful, frankly, to Israel.”"
Trump says he doesn't regret posting edited video slamming Omar
So Trump doesn't regret that his words put other people's lives in danger, and on top of that because she doesn't like the U.S.-Israel relationship and some of the actions of Israel, she is being disrespectful and deserve his ire. Wait a second... Trump has been very disrespectful of several other countries, several other leaders, and well tons of people. So I guess this is just another one of those times it's okay for him to do it, but not for anyone else.
If Trump got death threats because of your post here, would that be your fault?
Those two are not the same, and you know how ridiculous that statement is. When a person is the President, and they have the kind of platform they do, they have a higher responsibility to be careful what they say.
And if I said something that was very clearly a threat to the President, you better believe I'd be locked up.
same could be said of a person in the US Congress...
What she said was not an attack on anyone, and her underlying message is very true. When the U.S. makes payments and helps Israel it's all good, but anyone else... it isn't. Why do we help Israel so much? Why did Trump call Benjamin Netanyahu "Your prime minister" to American citizens? It's bullshit.
Why israel? Because, they are the only country in the middle east that has open elections and aren't being controlled by Muslims.
There are lots of countries around the world that have elections and aren't Muslims. And not all Muslims are terrorists. Your statement just proved her point.
