Ladies and gentlemen ... some well-deserved applause for the congressman who just told Donald Trump to shove the border wall up his ass ... IN THOSE WORDS.
“[Y]our ignorant anti-immigrant opinions, your border wall rhetoric, and your recent bigoted attack on an American jurist are just plain despicable.
... Before you dismiss me as just another “Mexican,” let me point out that my great-great grandfather came to this country in 1857, well before your own grandfather. His grandchildren (my grandfather and his brothers) all served our country in World War I and World War II. His great-grandson, my father, served in the U.S. Army and, coincidentally, was one of the first “Mexican” federal judges ever appointed to the federal bench.”
"Why any modern-thinking person would ever believe that building a wall along the border of a neighboring country, which is both our ally and one of our largest trading partners, is frankly astounding and asinine.
"Mr. Trump, you're a racist and you can take your border wall and shove it up your ass. I would like to end this letter in a more diplomatic fashion, but I think that you, of all people, understand why I cannot." ---
