The Congressional Black Caucus, a formidable bloc of lawmakers with a big say in the fate of President Donald Trump and his legislation, Monday sent him a terse, clear message: We don't think you understand us at all.
The caucus' chairman Monday urged cancellation of next month's highly anticipated meeting between White House officials and leaders of the nation's historically black colleges. And he plans to have the 49-member caucus meet when Congress returns in two weeks to discuss whether to back Democratic-led efforts to impeach Trump.
Rep. Cedric Richmond, D-La., the caucus chairman, said the president's remarks after the deadly Aug. 12 protest in Charlottesville show he has no commitment to the schools or the African American community.
Richmond said the caucus was outraged by Trump's assertion of "blame on both sides" for the violent rally dominated by neo-Nazis and white supremacists.
"You can make an argument based on pure competency and fitness to serve, and that's the conversation the caucus will have," Richmond told reporters in a conference call Monday. The caucus includes 46 House Democrats, Democratic Sens. Kamala Harris of California and Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey, and Republican Rep. Mia Love of Utah.
"Am I concerned about high crimes and misdemeanors?" Richmond asked. "Absolutely. Am I concerned about this president's fitness to serve? Absolutely."
Republicans control 52 of the Senate's 100 seats, and 240 of the House's 435 seats, and there's been no GOP talk of impeachment.
Trump has received heavy criticism both inside and outside of government for not forcefully condemning neo-Nazis and white supremacists in the immediate aftermath of the violence in Charlottesville.....

They started that conversation on a Wednesday morning back in November.
Yawwwwwn......
So in other news: Sun Rises in East!
Balderdash. Bilge. Hogwash. Nonsense. Freepin idiocy.
Sorry, I'm tired, so my vocabulary is a little weak.
Or as Mad Maxine would say “I be come to getcha sucka!”
These are the stupid slaves of white democrats, doing their bidding. They are too dumb to know they are nothing more than marionettes.
Hey, Mia Love...this your chance to prove you haven’t gone over to the dark side. Says you??? (Nothing racist meant by the use of “dark side )
They are all Democrats. How do they have a big say in his legislation? No Dims are going to support him, white or black. F them all, the America-hating A-holes!
Guess they got too used to Social Spending Whiteys in the White House followed by race pimp Obola. Someone refuses to knuckle under to their extortion and they go nuts.
By the way , she is a UT repub.
He probably would have been better off saying, “the left needs to get off their high horse” and see how that would’ve worked. It worked for Obama for events that happened 1000+ years ago.
How’s that helping their constituents? It’s not...
Yeah, like any of them would vote for GOP legislation. What a stupid start to an article.
And what exactly do they expect to accomplish with their racist hatred toward the President? Absolutely nothing, like usual for the most racist group in Congress.
But black power is rising. Remember we had a total eclipse today which blacked out the sun. Worry, worry, worry.
Incidentally notice they have no mention that 60 some people got shot this weekend in Chicago. Of course that is black on black so who cares!!!!!
The black cacas can go straight to hell. Bunch of ODB’s.
There is no Constitutional authority for a CBC.
Just send em some more watermelon and fried chicken....
They’re too dumb for anything else....except for my girl, MaxiPad.
Her and old CrazyHank gonna run for POTUS!!!!.....
