Of course the holding centres exist, but to call them "concentration camps" isn't really accurate.

Why would you automatically assume the approval rating means they're all racist? Maybe some people can look at more than one detail at a time, and they like the job he's doing aside from how the holding centres are run.

You really need to do some research instead of watching Right Wing youtubers that tell you what you want to hear. Trump's Tax strategy has been an utter flop.

Trump IS a racist, it's undeniable at this point and the only people trying are people in denial and don't want to admit that they agree with his racism or at least they want to excuse it. He is not bothered about white immigrants, he has not told opposition of european heritage to go back home, only people of arabic or south american descent. His whole shtick is about demonsing latin and arabic people and he has done it freely before the election and since. He has told american citizens to 'go home' based purely on their race. Trump is a racist, you can pretend that he isn't all you want but that's not gonna change the truth.

Trump has pretty much done nothing of note during his administration aside from riding on the coattails of the previous administration. He has increased the deficit and used tax reforms to give his friends a pay cut and he's given those friends positions in his cabinet so you have the likes of Betsy Devos ****ing up education for the whole country. The only notable thing of his entire administration is his racism and his cruelty so if people are still supporting him, they are supporting him based on that.

If anyone can look at what has transpired over the past few years and still say they support Trump then they are most likely a racist.

After reading a false headline on Facebook, a Louisiana police officer suggested Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-New York, should be shot. His Facebook post, which was spotted by the news site NOLA.com over the weekend, comes amid heightened scrutiny of racist and violent social media posts from police officers nationwide.

Gretna Police Department officer Charlie Rispoli shared a fake news story with a headline that quoted Ocasio-Cortez as saying U.S. soldiers are "getting paid too much." Snopes.com disproved the story as completely fabricated, but Rispoli went ahead and shared it on his Facebook page with a threatening comment.

"This vile idiot needs a round... and I don't mean the kind she used to serve," he wrote, referring to the freshman congresswoman's previous job as a bartender, while also insinuating Ocasio-Cortez should be shot.

"These officers certainly acted in a manner which was unprofessional alluding to a violent act to be conducted against a sitting U.S. congressman," Lawson said.

Lawson told NOLA.com over the weekend that he was "not going to take this lightly and this will be dealt with on our end." Rispoli has been with the department since 2005. Lawson said he does not think the comment is an actual threat, but that it appeared to violate the department's social media policy.

"Whether you agree or disagree with the message of these elected officials and how frustrated you may or may not get, this certainly is not the type of thing that a public servant should be posting," Lawson said.

The post was taken down by Friday afternoon, and Rispoli's page was down by Saturday, NOLA.com reported. CBS News reached out to the Gretna police department for further comment.

Rispoli's post comes as law enforcement agencies across the U.S. are reviewing troubling social media posts by officers that were compiled by a watchdog group called The Plain View Project. Investigations are underway in all eight jurisdictions the group reviewed, the Plain View Project told CBS News, including Philadelphia and Dallas.

Ocasio-Cortez is one of four progressive congresswomen of color known as "the Squad" who have become a target for President Trump and his supporters. During a meeting with Pakistan's prime minister at the White House Monday, Mr. Trump continued his attacks, calling the congresswomen "bad for the country."

An otherwise normal cop wouldn't even think of turning their gun onto an innocent politician simply because the President said dumb things about them. If a cop decides to kill one of #TheSquad, it's on whoever pulled the trigger.
