FULL TITLE: BREAKING NEWS: Pelosi will force a vote to condemn Trump for saying four minority congresswomen should go 'back where they came from' – just months after Democrats watered down a resolution denouncing one of them for anti-Semitism

Nancy Pelosi announced Monday House Democrats are composing a resolution condemning President Donald Trump's tweets against Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her 'squad.'

The speaker indicated there will be a vote soon in the chamber, a move designed to put Republicans on the record about their feelings on the president's tweets after few GOP lawmakers, thus far, have defended him.

No timing was indicated but Pelosi announced the forthcoming resolution in a letter to colleagues on Monday.

'This weekend, the President went beyond his own low standards using disgraceful language about Members of Congress,' she wrote.

'This morning, the President doubled down on his attacks on our four colleagues suggesting they apologize to him. Let me be clear, our Caucus will continue to forcefully respond to these disgusting attacks,' she added.

'The House cannot allow the President's characterization of immigrants to our country to stand. Our Republican colleagues must join us in condemning the President's xenophobic tweets. Please join us in supporting a forthcoming resolution sponsored by Congressman Tom Malinowski, who was born abroad, and Congressman Jamie Raskin, along with other Democratic Members born abroad,' she noted in her letter.

Malinowski was born in Poland and came to the United States at the age of six.

Trump, meanwhile, defended his tweets in which he suggested the four congresswomen, who are of racial minorities, go 'back where they came from.'

‘All I'm saying, they want to leave, they can leave. Now, it doesn't say leave forever. It says leave if you want,’ Trump told reporters on the South Lawn of the White House Monday

CBS radio news reported “Trump will not apologize for RACIST LANGUAGE in his tweet”. BTW this is the fake news you hear on breaks during the Rush Limbaugh show.

The Senate won’t hold a similar vote, but he would come over to join the House in solidarity against the President.

Not only did Trump not mention race, he did not mention country of origin either. What he said was they should go back to “where they came from” and fix the broken government there. Rashida Tlaib was born in Detroit, Michigan, a place that desperately needs to be fixed, on so many levels. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claims to be from Queens, New York City, a place with highly varying levels of economic development and civic responsibilities, with its own great inequities. Ayanna Pressley was born in Cincinnatti, Ohio, but raised in Chicago, Illinois, where she was first a “community organizer”, one of the enforcers that saw to it that the black folk did not escape the urban plantation. She now represents the western part of the city of Boston, another area of great inequities. Only Ihlan Omar is of foreign birth, brought to this country supposedly as a refugee, but who has never assimilated, even though she was granted US citizenship. Her place of birth, Somalia, is a war-torn African nation well deserving the appellation “sh!+hole country”, as it has virtually no functioning government, and is populated in part by some of the more avaricious pirates still about in the world.

CBS radio news reported “Trump will not apologize for RACIST LANGUAGE in his tweet”.

I've learned to look for adjectives in "news" reporting. Sometimes an adjective is necessary to describe who, what, when, why, and how. Most of the time, modern "news" puts in adjectives as a form of subtle, or not so subtle, bias.

He really needs to do a statement outlining all the racist, hateful, statements these four and other Dems have made over the years. Say per so and so they said...etc. Throw it right back into their faces.

Also rules of decorum for HOR

RULES OF DECORUM & DEBATE IN THE HOUSE
MEMBERS MUST:
Address themselves solely and directly to the Chair. They may not address other Members, individuals in the gallery, or persons who might be observing through the media.

Refer to Members by state, not by name.

Avoid characterizing another Member’s personal intent or motives and discussing personalities.

Refrain from speaking disrespectfully of the Speaker, other Members, the President or Vice President.

Refrain from referring to the official conduct of other Members where such conduct is not under consideration by way of a report of the Committee on Standards of Official Conduct or as a question of the privilege of the House.

Refrain from referring to the specific votes of particular Senators.

Refrain from using profane or vulgar language.

Avoid walking in the well when a Member is speaking.

Ensure that all handouts distributed on the floor or adjacent rooms comport with the rules of propriety for spoken words, and that all handouts bear the name of the authorizing Member.

Refrain from eating, smoking, or using electronic equipment, including cellular phones or lap top computers, on the floor.

Wear appropriate business attire.

NOTE — Debate which violates the rules of decorum may result in a Member’s words being taken down.

I see they adhere to their own rules regarding President, VP, speaker, other members and speaking disrespectfully.

THen he’s going to come back and point out that he told them to go back to the “places” where they come from, i.e. their districts, and that there was nothing racial about it.

And normal peopler are gonnna say “Yep, that’s right”.

“Pelosi will force a vote to condemn Trump for saying four minority congresswomen...”

Trump never said that; what he DID say was that those who hate America should leave ... he didn’t name names, he didn’t say minority congresswomen, etc.

nonetheless, this is what Trump wanted when he made the tweets: forcing the Dems to publicly condemn or defend these America-hating whack-jobs, a lose-lose proposition for the Dems either way, and they took the bait AGAIN!

A stunt for Pelosi to try to get back in the radicals' good graces, while once more attacking The President.

Of course, if the vote fails, it will be because Nancy is a racist.
