WASHINGTON House Democrats are introducing a formal resolution to denounce President Donald Trump for saying that “both sides” are to blame for a violent encounter between white supremacists and neo-Nazis and the activists who showed up to protest them.
While the censure is unlikely to see traction in the GOP-led House, it serves as a rebuke to Trump and mirrors some of the Republican criticism the president has faced for his remarks.
“A president of the United States cannot support neo-Nazis. It’s just beyond the pale,” said Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., a member of the House Judiciary Committee. “I hope Republicans who have expressed outrage with what he said put their money where their mouth is.”
Just three Democrats have signed onto the measure, but Nadler says he expects more to follow.
With this tactic, Democrats are taking a page from Republicans who frequently filed censure resolutions against President Barack Obama and members of his administration. Most died on the vine, but the Republican-controlled House of Representatives in 2012 voted to censure then-Attorney General Eric Holder for his role in the botched Fast and Furious gun-running operation into Mexico.
A number of lawmakers also introduced censures against Bill Clinton over his affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky and resolutions were filed against George W. Bush for authorizing a no-warrant domestic surveillance program.
One president was formally censured: President Andrew Jackson in 1834 was admonished by the Senate for refusing to turn over documents that lawmakers had requested.

The Waddler is still alive? I thought he had probably choked to death by now on donuts or the fat inside his throat.
“I’m telling you the Democrats lose if they keep pushing this race and identity politics stuff. Its not a winning strategy outside of a few specific areas in this country.”
Yep. The more they keep SHOWING everyone WHO they truly are, the more people will lean to the right.
The Leftists and their Enemy Media LAP DOGS are going down. Not without a fight of course, but they’re STILL going down. :)
Looks like one very strange but interesting movie!

Get a grip, and focus on defeating the Democrat Thug Party.
Yeah, it’s part of a series. “The Desk of Mr. Coyote” - others include “The Desk of Q” (James Bond gadget lab) and “The Desk of Mr. Stark”. The artist started out with a Kickstarter thing a few years ago, to fund printing of a poster that contained all of the Acme products ever featured in the cartoon.
people arent stupid..they see thru this non sense...ill tell ya where this is gonna benefit Trump, is the taking down of these monuments...check the comments on any story on this online...people are furious over this. I read a yahoo left wing story on baltimore removing their statues..there were over 600 comments...and every one was VERY against it...over playing their hand..as usual.
While Trump is working on jobs, economy, and securing our safety, the democrats are into nonsense. It just shows how bankrupt the Democratic Party is as they are rudderless and clueless.
You are fake news.
The Republicans are in a majority and need to make sure this doesn’t see the light of day. Otherwise this is not just “the end of Trump”, but it is the end of the Republican party and any sanity in the government.
Nadler has a lot of Red Rats in his closet. To open that door, go to www.keywiki.org and search under his name.
The fatboy has been in bed with a lot of America’s enemies and is still scratching their fleas.

Do you really think you are fooling anyone?
More of the liberal coup with false narratives.
Their lies will catch up to them. Sooner or later.
Like hell it will be the end unless these rats want to be hanging upside down in the Village square. They are attempting to censure him for telling the truth, how well do you think that will go down, especially when they did DICK about Obama lying and conning the American people about Obamacare.
I’ve come to the conclusion that it doesn’t matter what Trump says anymore, the media and the Rats and RINOs are always going to make their own translations of it. If he merely says hello or sneezes, they’ll accuse him of robbing banks.
