    TBH, I didn’t particularly like this response. I think it might have been better if she had welcomed them, and mentioned something about learning about the real world or something.

    To me it was needlessly divisive. “You don’t belong here, go back to where you are welcome” is how it came off, which feels especially wrong coming from a black woman.

      It depends on what they were there for. If it’s just to be hecklers and be disruptive, then ridicule them.

        I get you there. There’s also an argument for taking the high ground, but I guess the bar is super low given the competition.

          People are tried of “taking the high ground” when Republicans have spent the last 20 years taking the low ground.

            I absolutely see both points here. But maybe do both? Like “Are you sure you aren’t supposed to be at the smaller rally across the street but you’re welcome to stay if you really care about the country and want to join the good guys”

      What I’m hearing is that you are both racist and sexist.
