House votes to condemn Trump for 'racist comments'
The Hill ^ | July 16, 2019

Posted on 07/16/2019 4:09:48 PM PDT by SMGFan

The House on Tuesday voted to formally admonish President Trump, approving a resolution condemning as “racist” his tweets targeting four minority congresswomen.

The 240-187 vote fell largely along partisan lines, as GOP leaders had rushed to the president’s defense in whipping against the measure.

Just four Republicans broke with party ranks to join every voting Democrat, revealing the extent to which Trump’s incendiary remarks had jarred Capitol Hill and forced even some of his closest allies to denounce his behavior. Six Republicans missed the vote.

Rep. Justin Amash (I-Mich.), who recently left the GOP over differences with Trump, also backed the resolution.

rump’s remarks saying the progressive lawmakers should “go back” to the “places from which they came” sparked a flurry of outrage, with Democrats briefly uniting to push back against the attack despite recent divisions between various factions of the party spilling into the public.

The resolution was led by freshman Rep. Tom Malinowski (D-N.J.), who is white but was born in Poland. He argued it was a necessary step to push back against racist rhetoric from the White House.

“Even if we may disagree on the details of immigration or border policy, racism is wrong, it is un-American,” Malinowski told The Hill.

President Trump’s comments weren’t racist they were ideological. Libs are to stupid to know the difference!

This kind of treatment is meant to be seen around the world and win them votes. I don’t know about everyone else but this makes me MORE behind Trump and more sure they are killing off any thought of winning doing this crappy stuff against the one man who cares about the country and about us.

“Rep. Tom Malinowski (D-People’s Republic of Poland [defunct])”

“His stepdad was an even more worthless CBS Communist VP.”

I was thinking how can someone from Poland knowing the oppression of tyranny could vote like this??

You explained this. His family was in bed with the tyrants.

These people are so JEALOUS of our President. They are in a demonic frenzy to destroy him. Just look how far we have gone down the toilet with their leadership, their agenda. Everyone who loves their God, loves their children, loves their country, please keep praying for God’s Divine intervention. We already know the end of the story . . .HIStory. It is just a matter of time til God throws the hammer down.

“I look forward to the total wipeout of the Democratic Party in 2020.”

You have a lot more faith in voters than I do. They don’t think like you and me.

Step dad was president of CBS before Young Tom was born. Mom married a wealthy man 25+ years older. Shouldn’t be any surprise Young Tom is a climbing dirtbag.

Fitzpatrick is my Rep. here in Bucks County. Most of the people who voted for him thought he was his brother. He was on the radio this morning and mealy-mouthed some BS about how Pres. Trump has a bad “tone” but he wasn’t sure how he’d vote. I knew instantly he was going to vote for “condemnation”. Blah-blahing about how he wants to be “no labels” and work together so things get done. How come the Democrats never lean across the aisle over to the R side? And there’s NO ONE to challenge him who has a chance! I am so discouraged.

Apparently to Dummycrats anti-Semitism is not a race and Treason is.

It should be illegal for Morons to serve in Congress.

“He said they should go back to the countries they came from, fix them...”

President Trump never said country. Besides, the Bronx is not a country.

If the House was going to be consistent in its condemnations, instead of condemning Trump, they would have condemned all the world’s presidents, prime ministers and dictators for what Trump said.

Just like their condemnation of Omar a few weeks ago.

I can’t recall him voting for anything MAGA. His name is always on the no side.

Just read up on this worthless twit from Soviet Poland. His stepdad was an even more worthless CBS Communist VP. His mommy got outta the Socialist Paradise back in ‘65 and spent the next 30 years trying to convert our country into the one she left.

Geez, his parents are Soviet Poles. Thanks for the info.
