It's a shame we have a president who not only believes it's okay to actively appease his racist base, but doesn't seem to understand why some people are actually offended by the comments he makes targeting people of color.
Considering the disastrous policies Trump's been implementing, however, I guess he was right when he told three American born Members of Congress and another naturalized citizen who's serving her country that they "originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe."
Opinion | Trump just denied his attacks are racist. He only confirmed the worst.
After telling them to "go back," Trump redoubles his attacks on nonwhite lawmakers.It's been 10 years since Congress has raised the minimum wage. Millions of working people are struggling to make ends meet while corporations are raking in record profits. It's time we #RaiseTheWage. Call your Member of Congress and make your voice heard: 1-877-782-8274
Millions of workers in the U.S. haven't had a raise in 10 years - and that's unacceptable. Tell Congress to do their job and #RaiseTheWage to $15/hr. Dignity on the job starts with getting paid fairly. Call your Member of Congress and make your voice heard: 1-877-782-8274
