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.

Trump is excellent at this game...he just pinned the tail on the Donkey.

These out-of-touch, pencil-necked, political dolts are no match for President Trump.

Maybe this is the way to get rid of Hillary. Be beaten so bad in the elections in 2020 and with her age...she will not be back for 2024...if they tried to ease her out now..for sure she would destroy the fellow dems...(dumbs).
Just my 2 pennies of utter speculation.

and the MSM fake news is out of control with headlines like "balash against Trumps RACIST comments" as if they were actually racist.

just shows how biased they are and how they cannot even discern fact from fiction

communist AND ANTI-SEMITIC and ANTI AMERICAN and SEDITIOUS

speaking out against these things is not racist

Falsely accusing a white person of racism merely because they are white and you hate them IS the definition of racism

Will Hurd the Texas T*rd is nothing more than an Open Borders financed hack.

His campaign ads were paid for by the US Chamber of Commerce.

I am not kidding.

Tells you all you need to know about this TRAITOR.

Quico Conseco “R”, was the previous Republican Rep, for this Tx District 23. Praying he, or another good contender can take this one back.

Hopefully vulnerable to another Republican that is more loyal to the President. I guess I thought being from Texas that would be the case but I do forget that Texas is turning blue in certain places.

Keep it up and there will be a Republican landslide in 2020.

You leftist bastards will not know what hit you while you run your mouths.

Keep your powder dry and a light coat of oil on Ol Betsy. The time is coming.

Oh my this is just terrible!!! Trump got an official thumbs down vote on his tweet. Congress must have tons of time on it’s hands to make this thumbs down vote.
