It's there in black and white.

Days after President Donald Trump's racist tweets telling four American congresswomen of color to "go back" to their respective countries, Trump and his followers are searching for every semantical and ideological escape hatch to prove the comments aren't racist.

It's not going well.


Some claim that they're not racist because Trump told them to return to the United States after they've fixed the problems in their original countries while some tried claiming that he was telling them to go back to their home districts where they were elected.

Right.

As for Trump, he insists the tweets aren't racist at all...and neither are his bones.

Things got awkward, however, when Nick Ramsey, producer of MSNBC's 11th Hour, tweeted out an example of an unlawfully racist remark listed in the government's Equal Employment Opportunity Commission website (under "Harassment Based on National Origin") that sounds an awful lot like what Trump said about the congresswomen:

The EEOC enforces civil rights laws in the workplace, so this is as close to a "textbook definition" of racism that one can get from the federal government.

But will it matter?

While Trump's followers scramble for reasons the comments weren't racist, the House of Representatives voted along party lines Tuesday to condemn the President's racist tweets. It's the first time the House has voted to censure a sitting president since Andrew Jackson in 1834.

Megyn Kelly Tells 'Homicidal Maniac' Lindsey Graham To 'STFU' About Iran War In Brutal Rant

Conservative pundit Megyn Kelly criticized South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham on Tuesday, calling him a "homicidal maniac" and demanding he "shut the f**k up" following his calls for intervention in Cuba and for President Donald Trump to join Israel in attacking the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah in Lebanon.

In particular, Graham urged Middle Eastern partners to do more to support the U.S. war effort, telling countries such as Saudi Arabia to “up your game.” He also criticized Spain after its leadership strongly opposed the attacks on Iran. Graham said Spain had “lost your way,” and called on the U.S. to cut ties with the country and withdraw its military air base from Spanish territory.

New Study Finds Alarmingly High Percentage Of Gen Z Men Think Women Should Be Submissive

South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham was called out after he predicted on Fox News that the U.S. is "gonna obliterate" Iran's nuclear program by the time the recently-initiated war with the country is over, prompting critics to point out that he directly contradicted President Donald Trump's own claim from last summer.

Graham, discussing the war that began after the U.S., with the joint coordination of Israel, launched strikes against Iran on February 28, claimed Trump is “the right guy at the right time” because of Tehran’s supposed nuclear program.
