As Twitchy told you, Donald Trump’s speech in Poland praising Western Civilization has some journalists clutching their pearls even more tightly than usual.
THE WEST WILL NEVER BE BROKEN. Our values will PREVAIL. Our people will THRIVE and our civilization will TRIUMPH! pic.twitter.com/sozuVgdp5T

But it’s not just journos losing their minds; comedian Michael Ian Black is also beside himself:
Does anybody have any doubt who he means here? Does he mean gay people? Atheists? Brown people? Muslims? Liberals? Does he mean you? https://t.co/RIY7IQwSD9

Because I'm pretty sure I'm not invited. I'm not sure America as I understand it is invited, either.

America as I understand it is a place where all people can come together. Live together, work together. They don't need to share a religion.

Americans don't need to share a color. Or a language. Or adhere to any creed beyond the Constitution. Is that what he means?

Whose values does he mean? Because I don't feel like he and I share the same values. He doesn't share the same values as his Vice President.

Who is "the West"? California? Cuba? Sweden with its massive social spending? Is Ukraine "the West" or is he giving them up?

I'm sorry, but this tinpot dictator shit is terrifying because his statement can mean anything or nothing but it definitely means something.
— Michael Ian Black (@michaelianblack) July 6, 2017
And to my ear, it means he's waiting for an excuse for a crackdown on whomever he deems doesn't belong. Do you belong?

Stop acting so confused and mince words. You just look sad and desperate

Then explain it to me. Who does he mean? https://t.co/4SOCx5vPQp

What should be a fairly uncontroversial statement has @michaelianblack in need of Xanax. pic.twitter.com/7nMmid1GxA

Will happily take the Xanax, but I still don't understand. Who does he mean if not white Christians? If that's the answer, just say so. https://t.co/jP88bPGids

He literally means people from Western values. So yes to all of your questions. But your faux outrage is hilarious, please keep it up. https://t.co/MvmcTme6qC

What are Western values? Everybody's dancing around this because nobody can define it. https://t.co/LHXH3ISWqL

Freedom of thought, religion, speech, expression. Democracy. All men created equal. The basis for every right and freedom in the free world. https://t.co/WdZTAHaoZS

That's a good answer.
Now, how does that comport with:
Muslim ban?
Press intimidation?
Repealing trans protections?
Rise of anti-Semitism? https://t.co/9cRixxPdrI— Michael Ian Black (@michaelianblack) July 6, 2017
