Lawmakers are returning to Congress on Monday following a racist series of tweets from President Donald Trump aimed at four Democratic lawmakers, and Republican leaders as well as rank-and-file members are feeling the pressure to weigh in on the President's comments.
But many leaders in the party are so far not weighing in publicly -- including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. "If he issues a statement on this we'll be sure to forward," said McConnell spokesman David Popp in response to a question from CNN.
While many Republican leaders in Congress have thus far not spoken out, some GOP members are weighing in publicly to condemn his comments. Here's what some of those Republican senators and representatives have said so far:

Not a surprise
Do they have their own pink pussy hats.
The usual suspects.
Screw them to hell. They’ll probably impeach Trump and put one of the communists in charge.
I despise the Republican party. And the Democrat party more so.
That’s a good spit on list.
It is the usual crap from the media in order to get headlines like” Both sides of the aisle condemn the Presidents racist remarks? . Thus making it look like the resident stands alone.
Clown show on Fox now. 4 idiots speaking...
Repeat the big lie as often as you wish, CNN. The tweets had NO racial component to them, implied or otherwise.
I think more people are realizing if you examine the positions of the left, the only logical result is they will start killing people when they take power.
Is that an exaggeration? They control the cities, police departments, schools and many major states. But somehow America is still racist, nazi, etc.
What other solution can there be but imprisonment and genocide against Nazi non leftists?
I can’t watch FOX anymore as they are becoming like the usual media outlets. OAN for me for news and that s it.
This is what the media does. As soon as Trump says something the left does not like then they accuse him of being something, and then run to the idiots on our side , thus pressuring them to denounce the President .
Some on here still watch the likes of CNN, MSNBC and fall for their crap
I read a few and they were mostly like Linda Grahamnesty. Don’t like the leftists but think Trump should take the high road.
Not a surprise
The usual suspects......we need a third party......the CommonSenseTrumpNotAfraidOfTheRWord Party. Gotta get some of these people primaried.......John Cornhole is on MY list, Hurd is an idiot and has demonstrated it on a daily basis, Pete Olson must have taken a sip of kool aid.....get them OUT!!!
Gaslighting the public is their mission, on every single issue and every every single utterance of this great POTUS.
They have a right to their opinion, as does Trump. Personally, almost everyone I know voted for Trump and nobody liked Trump’s comments.
The people who think these comments will help Trump are stuck in the 1950’s.
Scumbags one and all.
Trump was absolutely right and many years of spineless people failing to call a spade a spade is what has led to the likes of these terrorist supporters being in Congress.
If you think people that hate America should stay in America, raise your hand.

That will be the result of any amnesty that Flimsey Grahamnesty and Micro Rubio have made their career goal.
