Floor fight erupts as Pelosi speaks ahead of vote to condemn Trump's 'racist' comments
FoxNews ^ | July 16, 2019

Escalating tensions on Capitol Hill erupted into a contentious floor fight in the House of Representatives on Tuesday afternoon, as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi spoke in favor of a proposed resolution condemning "racist" comments by President Trump -- even as Republican leaders stood steadfast behind the president.

As Pelosi's remarks turned personal, Georgia Republican Rep. Doug Collins rose to challenge her and demand that her words be "taken down." The extraordinary rebuke, the first of its kind by a member of Congress and a speaker of the House in decades, theoretically could result in Pelosi being barred from speaking on the floor for the remainder of the day.

"There is no place anywhere for the president's words, which are not only divisive, but dangerous -- and have legitimized and increased fear and hatred of new Americans and people of color," Pelosi, D-Calif., said. "It's so sad because you would think that there would be a given that we would universally, in this body, just say, 'Of course. Of course.'"

Democrats do not know anything beyond race, gender and sexual orientation.

Somebody needs to bring a large box of pacifiers on to the floor and pass them out to the Dems.

We have Dem Presidential candidates calling Trump a racist. And the MSM echoes the same line. The 2020 race will be the most contentious race in recent history. I expect increasing leftist violence against Trump supporters. The Left is unhinged.

Head Honcho Parl Guy says you can’t use the words when speaking that are in the bill.

THis whole thing is fascinating.

Will be interesting to see if the vote can be overridden.

seems to me that Trump is protecting America in pointing out the blantant anti-Semitism and militant colorism and sexism pervasive in the Dem Party, who refuse to vet their candidates, while drawing out yet more racism and colorism from the girls mentioned - fully on exhibit at their barf-worthy little press conference.

After Pelosi broke House rules again, by leaving the floor before her words were struck down, it’s past time that somebody stood up and said...”Stop being such a drama queen, darling”

I had to be told by NBC News that 3 of the 4 were born in the USA.”””

I still am NOT SURE of that, since there are serious questions about Omar’s MARRIAGE-—which may have been a sham to get into the USA.

I AM damn sure none of them LIKES America, and they are starting a war they cannot win.

Apparently not. Nor do they know which bathroom to use.

Or the basic biology of XX and XY chromosomes.

It’s mass hysteria.

Hard to believe any of them (democrats) are born in the USA, isn’t it?

Time for every single one of these harridans to learn what the word RACIST truly means.

They use the word all over the place.

So Pelosi just used the language that was in the bill? Her staffers didn’t write something out for her?

Again, I’d wager they are ignorant of the Parliamentary rule and didn’t know they should.

I am not sure what parts were deemed unacceptable but probably the word Racist.

it wasn’t that long ago that Pelosi claimed that Italians were ‘people of color’. Back when she was complaining that she didn’t have any ‘brown’ grandchildren - a slam on her own children for not marrying more politically correctly.
