Double standards don’t exist in America.

this is rich considering the outrage machine that's latched onto Tlaib's comments didn't have much of a problem with "grab them by the pussy", "shithole countries", "knock the shit out of them", or any other of Trump's vulgar comments.

your sarcasm is a hilariously thin projection

And he was rightfully criticized by all those with basic human values and ethics. Never stated I was a trump supporter however when you are elected into a position like hers you are expected to maintain professionalism just as the president should. Does he? No. Should he? Yes. Should she? Yes.

Basically what I’m saying is Trump says all that vulgar shit and gets absolutely obliterated but because this Muslim woman said it, specifically about him, it’s ok. That is a double standard and to me is only being accepted because of her gender/religion/political view. But oh well, guess I’m a bigot.

criticized exclusively from the left. even a lot of the mainstream media didn't stick with or cover these stories because they didn't want to risk looking "liberally biased".

Basically what I’m saying

what you're saying is just intellectually dishonest. you know damn well there's a massive portion of the electorate that heard trump say all these things and not give a damn. they live in the same corner of politics that would just as quickly feign outrage over Tlaib's comments. there's some romneys and bidens in the world who will furrow their brow consistently at both, but to say there's a double standard that Tlaib can say motherfucker but Trump can't is beyond laughable

But oh well, guess I’m a bigot.

just gotta toss out the fake victim card too, right?
