Congressman Brandon Gill tells mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani "Go back to the Third World"

He's already there dipshit. Look around you

Best reply.
I feel like the US is more like a Second World country. By "Second World", I mean the countries that are more aligned to Russia than to NATO. That description now fits the US, unfortunately.
- Happy cake day fellow ~~ex-Redditor~~ lemming
A country that has no national healthcare, a life-style of economic struggle and a dictator for a leader? Hmmmm.

Remember the days when an openly racist comment like this would mean the end of your political career?

For Republicans it actually boosts their poll numbers.
People want to be openly racist again. That's what MAGA really means.
- Magazis.
- People want to be openly racist again. That’s what MAGA really means.
  And on this one should think a bit further and realize that any action causes a reaction.
  Maybe outright socially punishing racism shouldn't have been the focus, and instead more effort should have been spent making sure more people know how, well, genetics work and also dream of stuff not involving racial difference, like future space travel or peaceful united humanity, that kind of thing. So that they'd make their own conclusions and have their own wishes.
  So - they are tired of "the establishment" not making anything better, and that means they are also tired of some rules of public decency associated with that establishment. One of the reasons MAGA activism looks so gross - they want it to look gross. Because "gross" is not like that picture of "respectable politics", so already better.
  In general studying psychology of people who are your opponents is beneficial. And especially hard when you can't make yourself respect them.
Or a punch in the face?
- or a shot to the head?
  punch to the side of the head, I mean, obviously
Happy cake day.
Fingers crossed it’s extinction burst behavior.

Republican Representative Brandon Gill has told New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani to "go back to the Third World" in response to a video of him eating with his hands.

I guess this asshole has never eaten a burger, chicken, hot dog etc. Fucking racist piece of shit.

He eats pizza with a knife and fork… allegedly
- Shovels beer nuts in his mouth like some kind of grotesque beast
- And it wasn't intended to be eaten with them from the beginning. The dry fat rim is for holding it.
Straight from central casting, judging by his photo.
- He’s Dinesh D’Souza’s son in law
Hell, I’ll eat anything with my hands if it means Americans can have universal healthcare.
- I will happily eat macaroni or soup with my hands for the rest of my life if that means everyone gets Healthcare.
Brandon Gill does, in fact, look like the kind of person who would eat a burger with a knife and fork.
In Russia it was impolite, actually, to eat chicken not with your hands. Can't say why, maybe it's the possibility of bones splitting and flying away, and maybe it's that some of the meat remains on the bones, so some visible food gets thrown out. As a kid I would sometimes get looks (making my hands oiled and dirty I don't like, being autistic and just because it's inconvenient).
In any case I'm not sure someone's eating habits affect their politics, unless demonstrating lack of basic hygiene or involving cannibalism.
I might start eating Doritos with a fork and knife just to be extra "civilized".
- NGL, I eat chips with chopsticks a lot. Prevents crumbs from getting all over the place.

Zohran getting under their skin. Love to see it

remember, the super rich are the enemy of the people, not your fellow citizens from different backgrounds

I have more in common with a homeless person in Somalia, India, or China than I do with the super rich.
No War Except Class War
The owning class is the only minority group that does you any harm.
It feels like this slogan is only repeated in left spaces, which then feels like a leftist version of centrists throwing trans people under the bus to chase conservatives. The people who are the primary purveyors of petty hate need to be the priority for the message before anyone on the left is going to feel like preaching tolerance for intolerance is anything but a way to smuggle bigotry into left political spaces.

Isn't he in the US right now?

I chortled

What a racist piece of shit.

Edit: It is the honor of my lifetime to represent Texas’ 26th Congressional District. I was born on a military air force base in New Mexico and grew up on a cattle ranch in West Texas.

Go back to your redneck farm you fucking hick.

This guy's wife had to declare that she doesn't eat with her hands because her husband is so racist.
- what a vile excuse of a human being. I hope she is devorcing this racist cunt
There is nothing wrong with living in a rural area or being a blue collar worker. The last sentence there is unnecessary.
As someone who has been in both those demographics, this guy doesn't represent me or the hardworking albeit sometimes simple people I grew up around.
Please don't use those words as a cudgel. It drives those undereducated and uninvolved people to identify more with this asshole than the progressives that have more in common with them beneath the surface.
- So you’re not even acknowledging the full fledged racism that is the topic in this little whataboutism speech you put together there?
  Nothing about the racism. Not one word to nod to the overarching story here.
  So which part of you missed that? The rural part?
  US is currently burning wheat farms cuz the world has shifted off of cheap wheat for something more stable.
  And the world knows which ones are the red states and are boycotting.
  So You have two choices: take it personally or acknowledge a consequence of ignoring racism and self interest replacing it with apathy and revenge. Just know this: Neither will make a difference in the long run. You’re still headed to the same destination. So even now with at this point you’re begging to ignore it. Noted.
  You’re just echoing the overall problem here by not even acknowledging the topic.
  It drives those undereducated and uninvolved people to identify more with this asshole
  Don’t even pretend you were ever an ally.
- “Go back to the third world”
  …
  “Go back to your recheck farm”
  so only then it got offensive for you.
so they raised a hog on a cattle ranch

What is this high school?

American government sounds more and more like the varsity sports team of America High

Pretty much.
Look up Jim Jorden on you tube to really see high school nonsense. He's been at it for a decade.
- You mean Gym Jordan, who didn't report on the sexual assault of teenagers under his care? That Gym Jordan?
It’s not even entertaining anymore. It’s pure cringe.

Think the overt racism is bad now; it’s only going to get progressively worse.

It's the only way the right is progressive.

Words cannot describe the hate I have for the entire American establishment with the exception of Bernie, Zohran, and AOC.

Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Mark Kelly I'll even chuck Tim Waltz in there.
- Add them to the exceptions too
- Don’t forget Scott Kelly, not a politician but spaceman and just as cool as his twin.
  Maybe we need more astronauts in government, take a good look at the big blue ball before making life and death decisions.
- Hot Take, I don't like Tim "Expand Israel's Borders" Walz.
Al Green and Katie Porter are another two that seem alright
- That's also true. I was just naming the first three that came to my head in the moment lol
Show Kat Abughazeleh some love.

- Ive heard of her. She's running in my homestate so I will vote for her.

Oh, I'm sorry. Which country is it again that can't do UHC but can spend billions on blowing up rockets while people starve and or can't find homes/shelter in this same "first world country"?

Is it India? Because that's where Gill's father in law, political commentator and filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza is from. Maybe the D'Souzas can leave and take Gill with them.

Gill married Danielle D'Souza, the daughter of conservative political commentator Dinesh D'Souza, in 2017. They have two children and live in Flower Mound, Texas.

So Gill's father and wife are okay but a foreigner with differing political opinions is crossing the line?

With the whole Glastonbury kerfuffle I've come to know more about this band called Bob Vylan. They have this lovely song, and it goes ike this:

raw

    
I heard you want your country back
Shut the fuck up
I heard you want your country back
Uh-uh, you can't have that
The only place I know
Stolen right under my nose
By ignorant scum
Tryna lay claim to a land that ain't theirs anyway
Wait - what did you say?
I heard you want your country back
Ha! Shut the fuck up
I heard you want your country back
Uh-uh, you can't have that
I heard you want your country back
Ha! Shut the fuck up
I heard you want your country back
Well shit, me too

Blatant racism aside, look around at the devastation wrought by repugnantcon policies buddy. Zohran is already in a 3rd world shithole, and he has the audacity to try to make it somewhat more tolerable for those in his city.

The term is pretty racist itself, since it was created to refer to tertiary countryies in the Cold War, but soon came to simultaneously suggest those countries were lesser. Calling a failing state "3rd world" just further perpetuates that.
- The majority of those countries were robbed by first world countries for centuries so anyone using the phrase without any moral reflection is intentionally not looking at the whole picture.

Smells like fear

His father in law is Dinesh D'Souza, the conspiracy theories guy. And like so many other hypocritical Republicans, is an immigrant who became a citizen in '91 after coming here with his parents and attending school here.

Yeah if he doesn’t win the election after these attacks then the US has passed the point of no return. If even New Yorkers are too stupid to fall for this smear campaign then the US can’t be saved.

Who? Man nobody has heard of desperate for warmth of spotlight.

Didnt they have the same reaction when somebody ate a cheese steak with a knife and fork? The things they fixate on...

Maybe if we keep squawking about a bunch of dumb shit, nobody will notice how many rural Americans are about to be fucked 6 ways from Sunday by this big beautiful bill. Then we can spin it as this guy eating with his hands made you lose your healthcare.

Dude America already is the 3rd world

The "first world" was defined as US and their allies, 2nd world as USSR and their allies and 3rd world as no aligned. Now, US is run by Russian assets trying to replicate the third Reich. So I guess it should be second world instead?

But he’s already in a third world country.

I asked my doctor if I should boost my vaccinations because I was traveling for work. He asked if I was traveling to third world countries and I told him, "Yes, the US." He boosted all of my vaccinations.
- Did he laugh?
"He's already pulled over! He can't pull over any further!"

Ask a MAGAt to name a third world country. Instead of naming one they will name the country of the race they hate the most.

you know, "mexican countries"

This Brandon Gill?

No, this Brandon Gill
https://www.thedailyjagran.com/world/us-congressman-brandon-gill-with-indian-origin-wife-attacks-migration-policies-internet-responds-with-family-photos-10244226

Go back to the third world where you'll have healthcare, and food is cheap, and many services are provided by the government. Go back to where medicine can be bought without 4 doctors turning their medi-square tip screen around, where self made men can become something without the financial backing of a sexual terrorist. Go back to a land of opportunity, of potential, of downtrodden poor people in need of a voice. Go back and help them rise to the top.

We're trying to become the world's last 3rd world country here.

I have nothing to say about Brandon Gill except of course: try to make it look like an accident.

Laura Loomer wrote on X that Mamdani "is from Africa. And you can tell in the way he eats. Disgusting."

If eating with your hands is disgusting, that's a you problem because you apparently don't wash them.

Brandon Gill can go crawl up whatever asshole shat him out.

i wish this gill guy erectile dysfunction for the rest of his life (sounds like he already has it tho)

He's from New York not Texas you inbred twit.

Dinesh D’Souza’s son in law is a racist? Que sorpresa!

I had a hotdog and fries for dinner last night. I ate watermelon and a butter tart for dessert. I ate everything with my hands. These magazi hystreonics are disgusting.

Why don't these racist ass white ppl just go back to europe 🙄

They are afraid of what he represents.

A short while ago Zionists were so preoccupied with racism and discrimination. What happened?

Maybe Gill can go back to the 80s when his dated geopolitical reference was relevant

Smé-Gill is just bitter about having his precious taken from him.

Quite racist of Brandon.

Gotta love it when the racists self identify.

Hey Gill, there are large swaths of MAGA territory that are beyond the 3rd World.

scum on earth deserves to be shot

Like... a red state? We don't deserve him.

go back to your mama, gop titty baby

Sounds like he's inviting him to Washington D.C.

Just when you think you're being a little hard on the dumb cunts.

He must be talking about himself.

That's totally my uber racist white twin brother. Except for the nose. And the face part. And the hair. Oh who am I kidding, that guy looks like me but with the contrast and brightness set to 100%. I'm disappointed at my white self. I always wished I would be a benevolent type of white politician twin guy. And clearly not. But I am way more handsome. OK who am I kidding, I didn't even shave today. At least I'm just a low level copycat and not evil Steven Colbert speaker. If I was Steven, I wouldn't even walk outside. That's how embarrassed I would be of looking like that guy.

I guess it could be worse. You could be minding your own business selling ice cream Popsicles or something in the streets of India and next thing you know your evil twin opens a concentration camp for migrants or something.

Congressman Brandon Gill enjoys a drink, dunn’e.
