Standing Is Racist— Rep. Janelle said it “felt racist” when Trump asked Democrats to stand for American citizens during the State of the Union.She said “When he asked Democrats to stand up for American citizens… it felt racist… and it made me really uncomfortable. I think you can agree with the what—like standing up for American citizens—but I disagree with the how. And so it’s always about how do we bring our country together but not stand on the backs of others. There’s thinly veiled racist language, anti-immigrant language in what he was asking, and that was uncomfortable.”
