Trump: Make America white again
When @realDonaldTrump tells four American Congresswomen to go back to their countries, he reaffirms his plan to “Make America Great Again” has always been about making America white again.— Nancy Pelosi (@SpeakerPelosi) July 14, 2019
Our diversity is our strength and our unity is our power. https://t.co/ODqqHneyES

Kevin Drum:
...I barely even care about this kind of crap from Trump anymore. His repulsive bigotry has been obvious for a long time, and it’s not as if anyone can pretend not to see it.
What I do continue to care about is whether anyone from the Republican Party will say anything about this. Anything at all. Even a mild little rap on the knuckles.
Anyone?
Rob's comment:
No one yet, and it wouldn't surprise me if not a single Repug rebukes Trump for that. But I am a little surprised that Senator Cruz criticized Tennessee for honoring Nathan Bedford Forest.
Wikipedia on Forest:
In April 1864, troops under Forrest's command massacred Union troops who had surrendered, most of them black soldiers along with some white Southern Tennesseans fighting for the Union, at the Battle of Fort Pillow...
After the Civil War, Forest was the first Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan.
