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.

Nothing racist about his remarks. They're just playing the race card for the 2020 election. They are now all about anti-white. Fools....

It's why Hillary lost. She forgot about the white working class....and that includes men and women.

Their other trick is to come up with ONE and only ONE candidate. Not a problem....they'll just guarantee Warren Secretary of State.

Just like Obama...it will be the Party's pick. Most likely is Biden...for his experience......No, not his groping experience.

(accusing someone of racism when he’s done nothing except help people of all racial groups... is just downright immoral)

Beats me.

I’m not going to take seriously an admonishment about language from people who literally invent words to slander others with, when they’re not labeling all those who disagree with their agenda as Nazis.

This is a House resolution, not a bill. No, it does not go to the Senate

Clown show. Can't wait until the day these House Dems circus ends again. Probably 2022 if Trump loses, because I have no doubt they won't go crazy without a presidential check on their legislation.

We all remember how nuts they went in 2009-2010 when they control the House, Senate and White House, and the end result of that:

"...Trump’s incendiary remarks..."???? What about Omar's incendiary remarks...? This is exactly what CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood wanted and why these Muslim women are doing exactly what they were sent to congress to do...disrupt, disable, and kill Capitalism.

These four (Omar, Cortez, Talib, and Pressley) are the face of the Progressive Party/Old Democratic Party.

Rep. Will Turd from Texas is a goner in 2020. Won by like 600 votes in 2018. The last GOP Rep whose district is on the border, supposedly.

Brian Fitzpatrick is from PA. He voted against the President. I can remember his father, whose name I cannot recall, was a decent republican.

I just called his office to ask why Brian is now a democrat, since that is who he is voting with lately and I couldn’t leave a message because his phone was full ...too full.

I’ll bet he is getting an earful.
