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 presidents defense in whipping against the measure.
Just four Republicans broke with party ranks to join every voting Democrat, revealing the extent to which Trumps 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.
rumps 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.

Democrat racists projecting their vile racism on to good people.

Democrats are hitting bottom.
There is no lower place to go.
Accuse Washington as being a space alien.
Democrats ... got ... nothing.
A loser is still a loser. Name calling means a Democrat is still a loser.
LOSERS. LMAO !
And Mrs Justin Verlander.
POS Politicians. GFY
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.
just shows how biased they are and how they cannot even discern fact from fiction
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
Thanks for the input. Toothless gesture then.
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.
Ain’t that the truth?
just got home from work tonight and missed all the hysterics by Pelosi!
What a hag!
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.
Four Dems who are pretending to be Republicans voted with their party... I hope those 4 will be primaried next year...
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.
Trump setting national issues to elect Republicans!
Eagerly await purple state / district Democrats being forced to distance themselves from the 4 radical, far left wing Progressive, Communists.
So Congress passes a resolution on supposedly ‘mean words’ on Twitter.... Ok
