"You know, they talk about people of color. I'm a person of color. I'm white. I'm an Anglo Saxon."

Most rank-and-file Republicans showed little interest in taking on Trump, accusing “The Squad” — freshman congresswomen Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and Ayanna Pressley — of being anti-Semitic as justification for his remarks or shrugging them off as no big deal.

“You know, they talk about people of color. I'm a person of color. I'm white. I'm an Anglo Saxon. People say things all the time, but I don't get offended,” Pennsylvania GOP Rep. Mike Kelly told VICE News before the blowup over Pelosi’s comments. “‘With a name like Mike Kelly you can’t be from any place else but Ireland.’”

1. Your nothing but a phony racist and no one believes a thing you say.

2. If he's from Ireland, he is NOT Anglo-Saxon

He is Anglo-Celtic. Stupid SOB.

3. Definitely not a "new" thing either.

DH walked into an interview in the early 90s, and the interviewer was actually surprised he was not Asian (with a name like that?).

4. Anglo-Saxon? From Ireland? Seriously?

He's got sod in place of brains.

5. The opposite of colored is not "white"

The opposite of colored is not "white". It is uncolored.
He is colorless!

6. Bet he was one of the one saying "all lives matter" as well. Same vein of bullshit.

7. The Democrats should run a strong candidate against Kelly next year.

He is beatable.
