This is just pure racism. Republicans objectively are campaigning on little more than bigotry.

The fact that they count on this to win elections goes a long way in explaining why our country is so fucked up.

Trump still spends a lot of time at his rallies complaining about not receiving a Nobel Peace Prize. A possible reason is that he started a war in Iran, bombed Iraq, Nigeria, Venezuela, and Somalia, and ordered military operations against Syria and Houthi militants in Yemen.

Expressing bigotry openly got Donald the 2016 Presidential nomination. Small wonder that he expects it to work for him again. TEACHING HIM he's wrong will happen ONLY if every eligible voter gets out there to #VOTE ! 🌊

Isn't there already a metal detector that even Congress has to go through? I thought I remembered something from years ago when some Republicans refused to go through it. (Maybe it was removed after that? I don't know.)

Congress had metal detectors after January 6th, the Republican majority under Kevin McCarthy removed them.

They’re all bigots. Were Republicans always full bigots? Hope not; I’m not and used to be Republican. Are they all full bigots now? Yes.

trump has to go through a metal detector all the time...he just doesn't know it - he failed the first time and has been failing ever since

It was the precursor to bringing 1,600 Nazis (mostly scientists) here from Germany after WWII in Operation Paperclip to work in our weapons program.

The problem isn't confined to that area at all, tho. Flyover country has it bad, and most of those states had nothing to do with the Civil War. The margins in several Southern states are much better than elsewhere, even when red. A little population shifting and the GOP is toast there.

This statement was designed by the President of the USA and his advisors (most obviously Stephen Miller) to inspire harassment and possibly violence against the 260,000 Somalis living in the US. 90% of whom are US citizens. How is this OK? How does THIS become just another stupid thing Trump said?

Ooh, let's just ignore the actual facts -- that white citizens commit more crimes than immigrants. Think about it: would you come to a foreign country where you want to keep your head down and then commit any crimes at all? Also, the famous "Somali" fraud in Michigan was run by a white woman.

Mike Roger’s balked on Meet the Press being called a MAGA candidate, yet he defends the domestic terrorist who masterminded the attack on 1/6/21, who s honed 84 fake electors in 7 states, and who pardoned hundreds of felons who plead guilty and had video evidence of the trials of what they did.

No shame No boundaries They don’t know the word no At what level of corruption, criminality and bias against others is allowed to be okay To anyone who still think the GOP or DJT is still cool

Guess he forgot it was a Republican congressman (Harris) that was stopped when metal detector activated while he was trying to enter onto the house floor with a gun…always some projection and hypocrisy…

Been heavily used to justify many things since the beginning of time. Brought out in full force again by this dipshit especially in 2008 when Obama took office. Turned my state beet red.

The scary part isn't that bigotry is the product; it's that they've optimized the algorithm to treat hate as a high-conversion growth hack. Efficiency is a nightmare when the goal is regression.

Been true for 10 years

Personally what I saw was that he only became popular as a candidate because and when he (repeatedly) claimed Obama was ineligible because he was African(-American). That white supremacist ideology was the foundation of his successful candidacy.

Trump meets with Muslims all the time. He took a plane from Qatar, his spawns closed some contracts with them. Trump invited the Saudi Muslim that financed 9/11 to Americas soil, red carpet and all. So is it only muslim terrorists trump bows down to and likes? I'm genuinely curious

Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD): In January 2021, U.S. Capitol Police investigated Rep. Harris after he set off a metal detector near the House floor and was blocked from entering because firearms are prohibited in the chamber. 🤷‍♂️

under current rules, no senator has to go through a metal detector to get into the senate. So, of course, Donnie is lying…again.

Um, don't they already do that? Didn't MTG rack up thousands of dollars in fines because she refused to walk through the metal detectors and walked around them?

Trump and every one that supports or coconspires with him should be sent home in shame. And anyone like musk who threatens politicians doing their jobs, especially in investigating corruption, should be locked up and their assets frozen while awaiting trial.

We are forever thankful for your solidarity with Ukraine. Your voice, kindness, and courage inspire resilience and hope. 🇺🇦🫶

I'm starting to think he may be trying to get the race war started before midterms as a last ditch effort to call them off. That or he's completely given up and figured why not just let all my racism out I'm toast anyway.

Trump has never HAD solutions. He sells fantasies only. Whether positive or negative, everything he says is just straight out of his imagination. He tries to suck people into his fantasy world. It's diabolic.

It's the Jim Crow playbook from way back when: crooked politicians on the take from oligarchs, cooked elections, thug policing backed up by white-supremacy groups, with public support from bigotry. Jim Crow states were like that all along. Fortunately, Jim Crow is sinking now.

Trump is appealing to the racist base of the GOP. It has always been there, but Republicans ostensibly put forward policies before now. Now Trump offers nothing thar will actually help Americans: a ballroom, an arch, a golf course - all vanity projects for him. The $5k lie won't happen

Actually, Mr Orange Fuhrer, Sir, the Senate decides who must go through a metal detector, not you. Simply put, you have no say. That is, if you haven't yet decided that the Constitution doesn't apply anymore, in which case you should let us know. We assume you have eaten and digested it already. Ew!
