Rep. Nydia Velázquez (D-NY) was heavily criticized after her comments during a speech outside the department for housing and urban development on Monday, which points out that Elon Musk should “return to South Africa”.
The comments were badly advised on two fronts: 1) She tried to counteract you Assertion exposes The fact that Muschus himself said that Italians should stay in Italy and that Japanese should stay in Japan, and 2) Successful immigrants that they are supposed to return home seems to be xenophobic.
“It was interesting yesterday that I saw a video of an interview with Elon Musk with someone in which he said that the Italians should stay in Italy and the Chinese should stay in China, my question for Elon Musk is: ‘What the hell are you doing here in America?'” Said Velázquez.
“Go back to South Africa,” she closed.

Well, an fearless reporter who actually wants to make a name for himself in an industry that has to calibrate the truth, could come to mind a few questions.
First and foremost, it would be: “How is it possible to watch a video of Muschus that says something he has Never said? “
The second would be: “Why is it okay to demonize a successful African American?” (The wealthy entrepreneur grew up in South Africa).
I mean that this type of comment would almost surely lead to 24 -/ news reporting if you came from a republican legislator, no? Since we know that there are not many journalists who are interested in holding the Democrats accountable, we have to deal with a valid answer to the statements of the New York Congressmen on social media.
“These people are stupid”, an X user correct repliedinsult the stupid.
Jeremy Carl, former deputy deputy secretary of the interior during the Trump administration, suggested that her rhetoric give a racist tone.
“Nydia Velázquez has finally found an immigrant that she doesn’t like”, he doesn’t like ” wrote. “Not the tens of thousands of illegals in their district, the largest entrepreneurs, a white immigrant from our taxpayers but America’s largest entrepreneurs.”
“When the left tells you who they believe them.”
The political commentator Dave Rubin joked that Velázquez had delivered an “old-fashioned anti-African racism”.
This is an old -fashioned anti -Afro -American racism right there.

Of course, President Donald Trump was made vague similar comments about the squad in 2019.
AOC vs. Trump – who do you have?! The socialist tries to “go back in your country” to his country to pieces
“Why don’t you go back and no longer support to repair the completely broken and criminal places from which you came from?” Asked Trump at the time. “Then come back and show us how it is done. These places urgently need their support, they cannot leave quickly enough.”
“I am sure that Nancy Pelosi would be very cheerful to quickly work out free travel preparations!”
Will Velázquez be an intensive examination for your racist, xenophobic and nativistic rhetoric? How was Trump?
The Velázquez congressman previously saw its reasonable proportion of embarrassment when it took part in a press conference for an Iraqi immigrant who was arrested in 2017.
The media who had lied through the president of the president of the president from the countries who at that time attempted terrorists to lure the man in Badmuss -Trump. Instead, he told a reporter that he “likes” him, to that Velázquez ‘face became an immediate case of the sads.

She also threatened the conservative activist CJ Pearson as a teenager and said that he should “be afraid” of her and “should learn my name”.
