Democrats demand Congress censure Trump after Charlottesville
The Washington Times ^ | August 16, 2017 | Stephen Dinan

A group of congressional Democrats wants Congress to officially censure President Trump in the wake of the clashes in Charlottesville sparked by a neo-Nazi and white nationalist rally.

Led by Rep. Jerrold Nadler of New York, a senior Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, the censure resolution says Mr. Trump did a disservice to the country when he blamed “many sides” for the violence that erupted.

The lawmakers, though, go beyond Charlottesville, saying the president “has surrounded himself with, and cultivated the influence of, senior advisors and spokespeople who have long histories of promoting white nationalist, alt-Right, racist and anti-Semitic principles and policies within the country.”

The resolution urges Mr. Trump to fire anyone who suggests he “cater to the alt-right movement.”(continued)

Who the hell do they think they are? All this over a news conference about a minor riot? Are they trying to make that woman who died their Horst Wessel?

They’re mistaking Trump for Soros and the DNC.

The text of the censure will go something like this: “We, the hypocrites that make up Congress strongly condemn the President for condeming hatred and violence on both sides”....
I mean seriously, I’m starting to hope these idiots in Congress start having strokes.

I know it’s a dumb thing to keep on repeating but trying to keep up with the utter insanity of these people is like trying to keep up with Britney or Lindsay or Paris (or all three together) on a night on the town back in the day. Or trying to bottle Lake Erie, dear God.

Yeah. That is legislation that puts food on the table and solves so many problems for the people. What a bunch of Jack asses. Governing is not a reality show.

Affirmative action, which gives racial preferences that disadvantage one race in order to favor another race, is racist.

All Congressional Democrats support it.

They should censure themselves.

Pres. Trump could walk on water and would be criticized for getting the bottom of his feet wet.

Our country has become a comedy for the world to scoff at. Seriously, the dim congresscritters sound like the script from Monty Python’s “The Argument”.

Congress should respond by censuring the Democrats.

Or he could discover a cure for cancer, but be branded a sexist because he did not find one for breast or ovarian or uterine cancer first.

GOPe RINO cowards will probably go along. As the liberals demonstrate what a lynch mob looks like!

Some dreaded pathogen (???) in Washington D.C. causes Democrats to lose their minds and Republicans to lose their spines!

I know there are many concern trolls flooding Freerepublic right now, but I also know that there are many TRULY concerned Freepers that think this is the end of the President.
To those truly concerned I say this: What you are seeing right now are the Democrats TRIPLING DOWN on the stupidity that got President Trump elected.
Social Media is EXPOSING the Anti-Fa which the Left/Media have been forced into defending by the President.
Be strong, turn off the computer take a walk and enjoy God’s handiwork.

Maybe the GOP should demand that Congress censure the Democrat mayors of cities where blacks are being gunned down in such huge numbers.

It seems they think that by repeating a lie long enough and loud enough, they can make it real by force of sheer will.

Trump said absolutely NOTHING wrong. If they don’t like it, that’s their problem - bunch of group-think, racist, anti-America morons.

If 60,000,000 people don’t start calling Congress, holding rallies in support of Trump, they WILL have him.

And of course, they’ll be labeled racists like the Tea Party.

Another thing, the guests on the talking shows should tell their co-panelists and the moderater they’re getting the crap knocked out them if they call them a racist.

GOP goes along with this and they will never, ever see another dime from me.

Whether I ever vote for another GOP is a separate issue, depending on the specific circumstances, but any distinction I make between the criminal dems and the useless, lying GOP goes out the window.

Censure the president for what?

Telling the truth about antifa and BLM?

Screw off, Nadler. Waddle back to New York City.
