93 stated that Trump said "go back to where you came from". (full stop)

Here is what 93 noted was said

Quote:Pretty bad look this morning for Trump to tell four US Congresswomen to “go back where they came from” via tweet. Three of these Congresswomen were born in the United States.

Trump *actually* tweeted:

Quote:"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, [remainder omitted]."

Tsk, tsk, tsk, 93.
Funny, how what was omitted that seems to change the context quite markedly, doesnt it? Reminder to self: actually check 93's assertions of quotes from now one.....

here is the link to the base material... I suggest you provide such a link on further items you quote, 93.

Funny how the actual full text seems to really detract from your impassioned position of being not racist, but 'hard edged immigration talk' (or somefink like that).

Does it, though? I don't think so. I guess I was thinking that everybody would have (or would be seeing) the tweets because it was blew up the news cycle. I was not trying to "report the news" but simply comment on it. I can honestly tell you that I did not try to finesse the quote to make it more favorable for my argument. I typically do post links and I will do so in the future when referencing a news story.

*edit* Looking back at my original post I put "go back where they came from" in quotes as in: he was basically telling them to "go back where they came from" in not so many words. I can see how it looks like I was attempting to quote him directly. My bad.

Quote:Bluntly, if I pulled that stunt in court, I would be sanctioned.

OK. If I spoke to people at my job like you speak to people on here I would be fired.
Lucky for both of us, the standards of the Rice Parliament are not those of our places of employment.

See above.
