if you said this about white Americans, the FBI would bust down your door with a battering ram and your Republican governor would personally see to it that you were fired
here's Trump's full racist rant about MN's Somali community: "Somalians ripped off that state for billions. And they contribute nothing... Ilhan Omar is garbage. She's garbage. Her friends are garbage. These aren't people that work... They come from hell & do nothing but bitch. We don't want them"
