Congress has to condemn tRump for his comment when asked about increased threats on Omar...

I could not believe this. During a brief interview, Tom Hauser — a political reporter from KSTP TV, a local channel owned by Republican megadonor Stanley Hubbard — noted to Trump that his video tweet “has led to direct threats on [Omar’s] life. Any second thoughts about that tweet and the way it was produced and put together?”

“No, not at all,” Trump replied. He then went on to use a series of dog whistles about Omar, who in January became one of the country’s first Muslim congresswomen.

How can a sitting pResident do this?

frustrating to me is that 535 members of the House and Senate haven't stood together, supported a colleague who is every bit as American or more than potus, and denounce this hard.
