The birther-in-chief is back
It’s going to get worse. Photo: Alex Wong/Getty Images President Trump launched a white nationalist–themed attack on Sunday against four Democratic congresswomen of color who have been outspoken critics of his administration’s war on immigrants and attention-earning proponents of more progressive government policies. The attack deployed one of the most obnoxious clichés of racist and xenophobic hate speech: telling an immigrant or descendent of immigrants to “go back to your country.
All four are U.S. citizens and only Omar was born abroad, but Trump’s message, in short, was that the elected lawmakers were uppity socialist foreigners from shithole countries who should know their place — and that place isn’t Donald Trump’s America: President Trump has repeatedly signaled his own like-minded views during his campaign and presidency, both in what he’s said and what his administration has tried to do. At the same time, “go back to your country” seems to have become even more ubiquitous in Trump-era America, both in rhetoric on the right, as well as among perpetrators of the rising abuse and sometimes fatal violence directed at immigrants or people perceived to be immigrants.
The timing of the comment was no coincidence, either, arriving on the rescheduled first day of the anti-immigration crackdown Trump has been hyping for weeks now that his reelection campaign is underway.
