Several Fox News hosts defended President Donald Trump against accusations of racism stemming from a series of weekend tweets.
Trump’s Sunday tweets saying that far-left congresswomen should “go back” and fix the countries “they originally came from” were widely condemned as “racist” by Democrats and some Republicans. However, the president did have plenty of defenders, including “The Five” co-hosts Jesse Watters, Dan Bongino, and Greg Gutfeld, who all addressed the controversy during a Monday discussion.
“Did you hear?” Gutfeld asked rhetorically to open the show. “Trump tweeted. Yeah, and the tweets are being called racist because Trump told critics of the U.S. to go back to their country.”
Gutfeld noted that Trump’s tweets sound “bad if you leave out the rest of it. He actually said go back to your countries, fix the problems there, and then come back and show us how you did it. How many racists say please come back and help us? Probably zero.”

note where I’ve changed “he” to “we”.
this is the precise 24/7 agenda of the Dems and the FakeNewsMSM. period.
“This is a president who has openly violated the very values our country aspires to uphold. This is the agenda of white nationalists,” (Ilhan) Omar said. “WE would love nothing more than to divide our country based on race, religion, gender orientation or immigration status.”...

Did Trump say go back to your countries oder did he say go back to where you came from?
Cannot find anything where the President said “ countries “
He said crime infested places. Country was not in that part of the Tweet
Needed more emphasis.
I hear people talking bad
About the way we have to live here in this country
Harping on the wars we fight
And griping ‘bout the way things oughta be
And I don’t mind ‘em switching sides
And standing up for things they believe in
When they’re running down my country, man
They’re walking on the fighting side of me
[Chorus]
Yeah, walking on the fighting side of me
Running down the way of life
Our fighting men have fought and died to keep
If you don’t love it, leave it
Let this song I’m singing be a warning
If you’re running down my country, man
You’re walking on the fighting side of me
I read about some squirrely guy
Who claims, he just don’t believe in fighting
An’ I wonder just how long
The rest of us can count on being free
They love our milk and honey
But they preach about some other way of living
When they’re running down my country, hoss
They’re walking on the fighting side of me
Yeah, walking on the fighting side of me
Running down the way of life
Our fighting men have fought and died to keep
If you don’t love it, leave it
Let this song I’m singing be a warning
If you’re running down my country, man
You’re walking on the fighting side of me
Yeah, walking on the fighting side of me
Running down the way of life
Our fighting men have fought and died to keep
If you don’t love it, leave it
Let this song I’m singing be a warning
If you’re running down my country, man
You’re walking on the fighting side of me
The hate-trumpers are unable to see anything Trump does in a neutral way.
Everything he says will be parsed to death to find some delusion derogatory slant.
The bottom line is that the hate-trumpers are so obvious in their tactics and they are not winning over the undecideds and independents.
They have boxed themselves in, let them keep doing it.
ALL the REPUBLICAN weenies who have no problem speaking out against President Trump are always tongue tied when it comes to criticizing Democrats.
The Left is digging a deeper hole on this one.
You noticed?
Yup. Virtue signaling to everyone but those who elected them.
I hate Republican senators and congresscritters who make careers out of appearing on TV or running to reporters to comment on almost every issue that involves President Trump, only to bad mouth him. I’m referring to traitor Romney and the easily offended Susan Collins, the wishy-washy Mitch McConnell, Paul-Ryan-McCarthy, et al. Our side sorely lacks warriors, save for the reliable Jim Jordan.
And Louie Gohmert.
I hear ya’, onyx.
The weak-kneed Republicans don’t have the courage nor discipline to simply remain quiet.
Definitely, Gohmert is awesome.
For an effective sense of unity, POTUS only needs a handful of supportive voices. Ironically, Graham has taken a stand numerous times — but aside from that anomaly, for those that have issues with Trump’s benign antagonism, they should just shut the Hell up — they’re gaining favor with no serious voter.
I’m with Trump on this.. If you don’t like the country you live in leave.. I don’t care what your skin color is I still would say the same thing!!!
Love it respect it or get the f**k out. Never backdown on that one.
The “squad” should be thrown out of congress. They have no business there. What about their antisemitism? Their defense of terrorists?
What I do not understand is why are all these people leaving their s$ithole countries to come here and turn our country into a s$ithole?
