I recommend that this is how people of color should respond to Stephen Miller and MAGA from now on. Don't be afraid. Don't be silent. And challenge them head-on. Clearly, they hate America and the Constitution. Why are they here? Go to Hungary or Russia.

It really is amazing that the president has a noticeable an unexplained physical ailment that is disfiguring his right hand and there's no reporting about it. The White House's line is that it's from Trump shaking too many hands! Something is clearly being covered up.
