On Wednesday night, Rep. Ted Lieu, D-Calif., announced on Twitter that his 11-year-old child asked him if President Trump is part Russian. The announcement sparked quite a bit of criticism on Twitter.
“Our 11 year old just asked me if President Trump was part Russian. That would be really funny if it wasn’t so really scary,” he tweeted:

If it sounds a bit bigoted and xenophobic to you, then you’re not alone.
Wow Ted. That's broadly discriminatory. Your Russia hysteria is over the line. I know plenty of Russians who are fantastic human beings.

Teaching your kid universal xenophobia is ok? Not cool. Worse- believing you are morally superior to Trump while asserting this rhetoric.

I'll share this bigotry with my Russian friends, all very proud to be Americans.

Know what else is scary? Attributing some kind of inborn, intrinsic evil to a particular national/ethnic group. A great lesson for kids!

Exactly — which makes one wonder: Where, exactly, did that 11-year-old get the idea that Trump might be part Russian? Could it be the child may have gotten that idea from his father?
It wasn’t that long ago that Lieu called Trump an “evil” man, justifying his hate on MSNBC, the official network of insane liberal hate.
He also accused Trump of treason, calling him an “illegitimate” president and suggested his entire agenda be shut down.
According to the UK Independent:
Donald Trump’s legislative agenda should face a “total and complete” shutdown in the wake of reports about possible collusion between his election campaign and Russia, a Democratic congressman has claimed.
Warning of a “cloud of treason”, Ted Lieu said: “The bombshell revelation that US officials have information that suggests Trump associates may have colluded with the Russians means we must pause the entire Trump agenda.”
He cited a report which claimed that several US officials believe the FBI has information about coordinated effort between members of Mr Trump’s team and suspected Russian operatives to release hacked information that would be damaging to Hillary Clinton.
Of course, we know there isn’t a single shred of evidence to suggest any collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, but that hasn’t stopped Democrats from pushing the tinfoil-hat conspiracy theory.
Feel bad for the kid. Has an idiot for a father.

And a bigoted, xenophobic conspiracy theorist, it seems.
My 8 year-old granddaughter laughed her ass off at the idea that an 11 year-old would actually ask a question like that.

.@tedlieu So being ‘part Russian’ is scary. What other partial ethnicities are ‘scary’ to your ‘progressive’ mind?

Good question.
My 10 year old just asked me how California elects idiotic extremists from the alt left like Ted lieu
— Bob Zulka (@bobzulka) May 10, 2017
Another good question.
Poor kid, borne to be raised by racist parents who are even proud on it. Sad

Could you be more of a bigot? America has millions of Russian-Americans. 6 million Russian speakers. Time to say goodbye, Ted. #DemExit

My 2 yr old "Is Ted Lieu trying to over throw a democratically elected president"? Yes, Son he is. This game is fun.

That's pretty close to child abuse if you have him so worried about something so nonsensical, not to mention racist.
— JHatten (@LostnWeirwood) May 11, 2017
Is it any wonder the modern left has become so irrational and insane with elected Democrats like this?
